AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
309 PM CDT THU AUG 3 2006
.DISCUSSION...
DIFFERENTIAL HEATING ALONG CIRRUS BAND HAS ENHANCED AN APPARENT
PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH...WHICH IS PROVIDING ENOUGH CONVERGENCE WITHIN
THE WEAKLY CAPPED AIRMASS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA TO SUPPORT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. AVAILABLE INSTABILITY AND
THERMO PROFILES SUGGEST A LIMITED POTENTIAL OF WET MICROBURSTS. THE
MORE ROBUST AIRMASS CHANGE HAS FILTERED INTO NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA...AND EXPECT ANY OVERNIGHT ELEVATED CONVECTION TO FAVOR
THE TRUE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THUS MAINTAINING CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE NORTH.
HEAT ADVISORY WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 6 PM FOR ALL LOCATIONS
AS OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL COOL INTO THE 70S AREAWIDE.
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY WITH MID TO
UPPER 90S FEELING LIKE RELIEF FOR MANY LOCATIONS. SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE WITHIN A WEAKLY CAPPED
AIRMASS THOUGH THE DOMINANT MID/UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL
SERVE TO LIMIT OVERALL COVERAGE.
REMNANTS OF BOUNDARY AND ASSOCIATED AXIS OF DEEPER MOISTURE WILL
GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD AND WILL CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS
NORTHEASTERN THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA. EXPECT AIRMASS TO WARM
THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH UPPER 90S TO LOW TRIPLE DIGITS LIKELY BY
EARLY NEXT WEEK. UPCOMING FEATURES OF NOTE WILL BE AN EASTERLY
WAVE TRANSLATING TO OUR SOUTH SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...AND THE DEGREE
OF SOUTHERLY PUSH THE NEXT COLD FRONT CAN MAKE BY MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY. CONFIDENCE IN EITHER OF THIS FEATURES NOTICEABLY
AFFECTING OUR WEATHER IS LOW...SO WILL CONTINUE WITH A MORE
PERSISTENT FORECAST.
