AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
406 AM CDT MON AUG 11 2008

.DISCUSSION...
CONVECTION INCREASING THIS MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF OK IN AREA OF
ENHANCED LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION N OF SFC LOW AND FRONT ACROSS N
TX. HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE WITHIN VERY MOIST AIRMASS... ESPECIALLY
NE OF THE SFC LOW WHERE LLJ WILL CONTINUE TO ENHANCE WAA/LOW LEVEL
FORCING INTO THE MORNING. MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING ESE OUT OF
CO/NM LIKELY TO KEEP CONVECTION GOING AT SOME LEVEL THROUGH THE
DAY. FURTHER ENHANCEMENT LIKELY TO RESULT IN MORE WIDESPREAD/
CONCENTRATED CONVECTION OVER SE OK TONIGHT AS LLJ RESTRENGTHENS.
PW VALUES PROGGED AOA 2.5 INCHES N OF NEARLY-STATIONARY FRONT
ACROSS NE TX AND ARKLATEX TONIGHT. SETUP SUGGESTS A POSSIBLE
FRONTAL-TYPE FLASH FLOOD EVENT FROM SE OK ACROSS ARKLATEX AND
EASTWARD. WE WILL INCLUDE MENTION OF POTENTIAL HEAVY RAIN... AND
MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE NEED FOR A FLOOD WATCH OF SOME KIND. PRECIP
EXPECTED TO SHUT DOWN NW TO SE TONIGHT INTO TUE MORNING WITH
PASSAGE OF THE UPPER TROUGH. DEEP LAYER OF HIGH RH PROGGED TO
PERSIST OVER THE AREA RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD CLOUDS AND
UNSEASONABLY LOW DAYTIME TEMPS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA.

TREND WILL BE TOWARD WARMER/DRIER TUE-WED AS UPPER FLOW VEERS TO
MORE NNW. STILL WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER
HIGH PLAINS AND TURNING/ROLLING SE-S OVERNIGHT DURING THIS TIME.
TUESDAY NIGHT LOOKS RELATIVELY SAFE WITH RIDGING UPSTREAM AND MID-
LEVEL WINDS VEERED ALMOST TO NORTHERLY. BUT THERE IS STILL ENOUGH
OF A SIGNAL IN THE MODELS TO SUGGEST SOMETHING GETTING INTO OUR W
ZONES WED NIGHT INTO EARLY THU. GFS-MOS POPS REFLECT THIS AND
WILL BE FOLLOWED.

INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS MAY BE IN STORE LATE IN THE WEEK AS THE
UPPER LOW NOW OVER ALBERTA TURNS S AND DIVES INTO/THROUGH THE
PLAINS. LATEST MODELS ARE ALL FAIRLY CONSISTENT - OR AT LEAST A
BIT MORE THAN THEY HAVE BEEN LATELY - IN BRINGING A CLOSED LOW AS
FAR S AS THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY THE END OF THE WEEK. SOUTHWARD
MIGRATION OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD SUPPORT A FAIRLY STRONG LATE-
SUMMER OR EARLY-FALL TYPE FRONT INTO THE S PLAINS AROUND THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY. SOUTH WINDS AT 850MB PROGGED TO INCREASE TO
30-40 KT AS COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO OK THU NIGHT. W-NW WINDS ALSO
STRENGTHEN TO 30-40 KT OR MORE AT AND ABOVE 500MB... SETTING UP
FAVORABLE DEEP-LAYER SHEAR FOR WIDESPREAD, ORGANIZED STRONG
CONVECTION WITH THE FRONT AS IT ENCOUNTERS INCREASING MOISTURE/
INSTABILITY. WE WILL INCREASE WHAT GUIDANCE IS GIVING US ON POPS
THU NIGHT INTO FRIDAY... AND IN FACT INCREASE THEM ON INTO
SATURDAY AS THERE ARE SIGHNS THE UPPER SYSTEM MAY REMAIN NEAR THE
AREA FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. TEMPS WILL BE TRENDED TOWARD THE LOW
END OF THE MEX ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE... AND EVEN THEY MAY BE TOO WARM
IF THE UPPER LOW PARKS OVER OR NEAR THE AREA. 24
