AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 145 AM CST MON OCT 31 2005 .DISCUSSION...MAIN WEATHER EVENT FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE IS IN THE SHORT TERM. THIS STORM SYSTEM HAS BEEN WELL ADVERTISED AND LITTLE CHANGE NEEDED TO THE GRIDS/FORECAST. MODELS CONTINUE TO AGREE ON TIMING OF MID LEVEL FORCING...AND ARE VERIFYING WELL WITH CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MOVING INTO NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS MORNING. WENT WITH A BLEND OF THE GFS AND ETA FOR UPPER AIR AND SURFACE FEATURES...BUT LEANED MORE HEAVILY ON THE MORE CONSISTENT GFS AT UPPER LEVELS. A 05Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A WARM FRONT ACROSS SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA FROM HOLLIS TO DUNCAN TO MARIETTA. EXPECT THIS TO BE THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF WIDESPREAD PRECIP...ALTHOUGH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS MAY STILL FORM SOUTH OF THAT LINE INTO WESTERN NORTH TEXAS WHEN THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH IN THE MORNING. RAIN TOTALS SHOULD INCREASE NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT...BUT ESPECIALLY ALONG A ZONE OF MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS NEAR THE OK/KS BORDER...WHICH MATCHES WELL WITH THE GFS SOLUTION. WINDY CONDITIONS ARE A GOOD BET EARLY MONDAY BEHIND THE FRONT AS STRONG COLD ADVECTION BRINGS 20 TO 30 KNOT WINDS AND HIGHER GUSTS TO THE SURFACE. CURRENTLY SEE NO SOLID ADVISORY CRITERIA BEING REACHED. ANY ADVISORY CRITERIA GUSTS SHOULD BE SHORT-LIVED...AND THE WINDS WILL CALM DRAMATICALLY BY LATE AFTERNOON. THE EVOLUTION OF THIS STORM STILL FAVORS A PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM THAT WILL PUSH EAST OF I-35 BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND OUT OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA BY EARLY EVENING...LEAVING HALLOWEEN NIGHT A LITTLE DAMP AND CHILLY...BUT WITHOUT ANY PRECIPITATION FALLING. THE COOL DOWN WILL BE RATHER BRIEF...AS ZONAL FLOW CONTINUES TO PROMOTE A TROF IN THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES AND SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWESTERLY WARM ADVECTION OVER THE PLAINS. TWEAKED TEMPERATURES UPWARD TO BE MORE IN LINE WITH GUIDANCE THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY...HAS POTENTIAL TO WARM UP TO NEAR 80 AT MANY LOCATIONS WITH A STRONGER WESTERLY WIND COMPONENT THROUGH THE MID LEVELS. OTHERWISE...EXPECT A DRY AND PLEASANT WEEK. THERE IS SOME SIGNAL FROM BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF THAT THE NEXT PROGRESSIVE CYCLOGENESIS MAY TAKE PLACE EARLY NEXT WEEKEND BRINGING SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES LATE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
