AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
332 AM CDT TUE MAR 20 2007

.DISCUSSION...
DUE TO ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER... CHANGES TO THE FORECAST WITH THIS
ISSUANCE HAVE BEEN MOSTLY RESTRICTED TO DAYS 1 THROUGH 3.

THE GFS SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST OVERALL REPRESENTATION OF THE
EXPECTED WEATHER FOR THE NEXT 72 HOURS... AND IT WAS GENERALLY
FOLLOWED FOR MOST FEATURES. THE STALLED FRONT IS FORECAST TO
LIFT/MIX NORTH TODAY... AND WE WILL REMAIN IN THE MOIST AND WARM
AIRMASS THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. RAIN CHANCES WILL DROP OFF A BIT
WITH THE ABSENCE OF A GOOD FOCUSING MECHANISM... BUT WILL RISE
AGAIN AS THE COLD AIR ADVANCES BACK TO THE SOUTH ON THURSDAY. AN
UPPER-LEVEL SYSTEM WILL PROBABLY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR
STORMS ON FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND... BUT THAT IS BEYOND THE
TIME PERIOD OF PRIMARY CONCERN WITH THIS FORECAST.
