255 PM CDT SUN JUL 24 2011

.DISCUSSION...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE INTO THE MIDDLE OF
THE EVENING ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
SEVERAL BOUNDARIES EVIDENT ON AREA RADARS FROM THIS
CONVECTION...WITH THE MOST PRONOUNCED ONE ALSO VERY OBVIOUS ON
VISIBLE SATELLITE STRETCHING FROM JUST NORTHWEST OF BARTLESVILLE
TO GROVE. THESE BOUNDARIES MAKE OVERNIGHT LOWS SOMEWHAT
PROBLEMATIC. LOWS SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY LOWER TO THE NORTH OF THIS
MAIN BOUNDARY...ALTHOUGH STILL IN THE MID 70S...WITH UPPER 70S AND
LOWER 80S TO THE SOUTH OF IT. HIGHS TOMORROW WILL BE COOLER THAN
TODAYS...BUT STILL WELL INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS IN MOST AREAS.
SCATTERED STORMS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE TOMORROW.

THE UPPER RIDGE WILL REASSERT ITSELF OVER THE REGION BY THE MIDDLE
OF THE WEEK...WHICH WILL LEAD TO HIGHS CONSISTENTLY NEAR 105 FOR A
GOOD PORTION OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS. THE
WARMEST DAY THIS COMING WEEK WILL LIKELY BE THURSDAY...WHEN
TEMPERATURES IN THE 105 TO 110 RANGE WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE. GOING
HEAT HEADLINES LOOK GOOD SO NO CHANGES THERE. HIGH TERRAIN
CONVECTION WILL BECOME MORE LIKELY TOWARD THE WEEKEND...AFTER A
DRY PERIOD THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK.

THERE ARE SOME SIGNS THAT SLIGHT COOLING MAY OCCUR NEXT
WEEKEND...BUT STILL NO SIGNS OF A SIGNIFICANT COOLDOWN OR LARGE
SCALE PATTERN CHANGE ON THE HORIZON.
