Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 3:18 PM CDT, 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 318 PM CDT MON JUL 9 2007 SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM TX PANHANDLE INTO NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND CENTRAL/NORTHEAST KANSAS WILL BE FOCUS FOR STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. SURFACE FRONT COMBINED WITH MID LEVEL WAVE MOVING SOUTH AND EAST FROM KANSAS SHOULD BRING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS TO AT LEAST NORTH CENTRAL AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. WARMER MID LEVEL TEMPS TO THE WEST MAY INHIBIT DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THIS AREA. STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING MAY BECOME SEVERE AS MODERATE TO HIGH INSTABILITY HAS DEVELOPED AS TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED INTO THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S. WEAK TO MODERATE MID LEVEL WINDS WILL LIKELY LIMIT ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS. EXCESSIVE RAINFALL MAY ALSO BECOME AN ISSUE...ESPECIALLY ON WESTERN EDGE OF CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WHICH WILL LIKELY DEVELOP THIS EVENING. AS MID LEVEL WAVE/TROUGH MOVES SOUTHEAST TUESDAY...BEST CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BE ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY. FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND EVENTUALLY UPSLOPE FLOW CONVECTION WILL GIVE OTHER AREAS A BETTER CHANCE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT TUESDAY. MODELS SUGGEST THAT CONVECTION ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE CONFINED TO SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE FA NEAR WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY. DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WEDNESDAY...ADDITIONAL STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE AS SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS TO THE EAST AND BETTER INSTABILITY DEVELOPS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE WEST. APPEARS BETTER CHANCE OF ORGANIZED STORMS MAY DEVELOP AS ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING. IF ORGANIZED COMPLEX CAN DEVELOP THEN POTENTIAL FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WILL INCREASE AGAIN. EXPECT THIS FRONT TO PUSH SOUTH OF AREA GOING INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND SO MAINLY DRY WEATHER MAY BE IN STORE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
