AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
317 PM CDT SAT AUG 19 2006

.DISCUSSION...
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON
MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE WEAK WIND SHIFT BOUNDARY. EXPECT
SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS TO PRODUCE STRONG DOWN BURST WINDS
GIVEN THE TEMPERATURE/DEW POINT SPREAD. THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DISSIPATE QUICKLY AS WE LOOSE HEATING.

WEAK SHALLOW BOUNDARY WASHING OUT WITH TIME AS IT CONTINUES
A SOUTHWARD DRIFT. AIR MASS REMAINS WARM AND RELATIVELY
MOIST. MORE SIGNIFICANT BOUNDARY REMAINS TO OUR NORTHWEST.
EXPECT THIS TO BECOME MORE ACTIVE DURING THE EVENING AND
GIVE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA DECENT CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE VERY DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH RAIN DOES DEVELOP AND
HAVE ACTUALLY SHADED THEM TO THE LOW SIDE DUE TO RAIN
IN THE NORTH AND LACK OF CLOUDS IN THE SOUTHEAST.

TEMPERATURES AND RAIN CHANCES ON SUNDAY VERY DIFFICULT. COULD
SEE LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PORTIONS LIMITING HEATING FOR A GOOD PART OF THE DAY. IF
THE RAIN ENDS AND SOME CLEARING OCCURS...TEMPERATURES COULD
BE SIGNIFICANTLY WARMER.

NOT SURE THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE PUSHING SOUTH OF THE
AREA MORE LIKELY WILL TURN INTO A VERY BROAD AND DIFFUSE ZONE
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. HAVE BROAD BRUSHED LOW POPS DUE
TO THIS.

FOR WEDNESDAY AND THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST HAVE PUT IN
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND NO MENTION OF RAIN WITH
UPPER AIR PATTERN KEEPING MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WELL NORTH OF
OUR AREA.
