Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 1:53 PM CDT, 4 hours 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 153 PM CDT FRI JUN 16 2006 .DISCUSSION... THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM ALONG THE DRYLINE BY THE TIME IT REACHES THE CENTRAL THIRD OF THE PANHANDLES LATE THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF THESE MAY MOVE INTO WESTERN OK BY MID-EVENING. THE APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH, INCREASED DEEP-LAYER MOISTURE, AND A LOW LEVEL JET OVERNIGHT SHOULD GENERATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN A LARGER AREA OF RAIN OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF OK AND ADJACENT PARTS OF TX. WEAK UPPER FLOW FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND A STRONGER SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL JET WILL HELP MAINTAIN THIS COMPLEX OF RAIN THROUGH THE NIGHT. SOME TRAINING IS EXPECTED. AS THIS AREA MOVES INTO CENTRAL OK SATURDAY MORNING, THERE MAY BE A LULL IN THE GENERAL RAIN BEFORE THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO OK SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL LESSEN THE MOVEMENT OF RAIN AND ALLOW HEAVY RAINFALL IN PARTS OF CENTRAL OK SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. SMALL AREAS MAY HAVE FLOODING PROBLEMS BY SUNDAY MORNING, BUT OVERALL, FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED AS THE RAINS TONIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE LARGELY IN DIFFERENT AREAS. THE UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE SLOWLY INTO WESTERN AR OR NORTHEAST TX THROUGH TUESDAY, WITH ATTENDANT LOW POPS IN SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH CENTRAL OK. THE REST OF THE WEEK APPEARS TO BE DRY WITH AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDING FROM THE SOUTHWEST. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
