AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
305 PM CDT FRI AUG 12 2011

.DISCUSSION...VERY HOT WEATHER HAS REBOUNDED TODAY WITH THE ABSENCE
OF CLOUD COVER. AREAS IN OUR HEAT ADVISORY ARE QUITE HOT AND
HUMID...WITH HEAT INDICES 104 TO 107 DEGREES AT 3 PM. ALTHOUGH
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WERE ENTERING NORTHERN OKLAHOMA...A SYNOPTIC COLD
FRONT WAS LAGGING CONSIDERABLY...AND WAS LOCATED FROM WESTERN KANSAS
TO CENTRAL NEBRASKA. MODELS FORECAST THIS FRONT TO SETTLED DOWN INTO
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND BECOME WEST TO EAST ORIENTED ON SATURDAY. SOUTH
OF THE BOUNDARY...AND BARRING THE UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH
THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS...CONDITIONS APPEARS FAVORABLE FOR HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA TO BE MET THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THEREFORE...WE WILL
MAINTAIN A PORTION OF THE ADVISORY FOR FAR SOUTHERN/SOUTHWESTERN
OKLAHOMA AND ALL OF WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.

THE THUNDER FORECAST IS COMPLEX...BUT THERE ARE ENOUGH FORCING
MECHANISMS ENTERING A BROAD AND STRONGLY UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR...
THAT WIDESPREAD STORMS...SOME SEVERE...ARE EXPECTED THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT. THE PRIMARY EVENT WILL LIKELY ORGANIZE ALONG OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES IN SOUTHERN KANSAS AND FAR NORTHERN OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS
EVENING. EXPECT A COMPLEX DRIVEN BY ITS COLD POOL...TO TRACK ALONG A
REMNANT WARM FRONT INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA. THE TYPE OF
INSTABILITY THAT HAS BUILT UP TODAY MAY SUPPORT SIGNIFICANT WIND AND
HAIL...ESPECIALLY WITH SHEAR INCREASING AS A MID LEVEL TROUGH
ENCROACHES ON THE REGION THIS EVENING.

THE FRONT AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES MAY AGAIN SUPPORT SCATTERED STORMS
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY FROM INTERSTATE 40 SOUTHWARD. POPS
ARE FAIRLY LOW...HOWEVER...GIVEN LESSER UPPER SUPPORT. FIRE WEATHER
COULD BECOME A CONCERN IN THE DRIER AREAS EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS SOUTH
WINDS RESPOND TO A LEE TROUGH. OVERALL...THE NEXT WEEK LOOKS
HOT...BUT NOT QUITE AS EXCEPTIONALLY HOT AS WE SAW IN JULY AND EARLY
AUGUST.
