.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 355 PM CDT SUN AUG 12 2012/

DISCUSSION...
A SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS WAS PUSHING
A COLD FRONT THROUGH WESTERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON.
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...TEMPS HAVE WARMED INTO THE LOW 90S TO AROUND
100 DEGREES WITH BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
ENTER INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING
HOURS AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS OVERNIGHT. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN PROBABLE ACROSS THE REGION AS THE FRONT
PUSHES THROUGH. TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON ARE WARMING ENOUGH TO DEVELOP
INSTABILITY OVER THE REGION WHICH WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. DAMAGING WINDS AND
LARGE HAIL STILL LOOK TO BE THE MAIN THREATS. WINDS WILL SHIFT OUT
OF THE NORTH-NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...WHICH COULD
CREATE A CONCERN FOR THE FIGHTING OF ANY WILDFIRES. THE COLD FRONT
SHOULD BE NEAR THE RED RIVER VALLEY MONDAY MORNING...WITH MOST OF
THE PRECIP HAVING PUSHED OUT OF THE AREA. WILL LEAVE A SLIGHT
CHANCE POP ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS DEVELOP A MCS
OVER EASTERN COLORADO/WESTERN KANSAS MONDAY NIGHT AND PUSH IT
EAST/SOUTHEASTWARD TUESDAY MORNING. THE LOCATION OF THE MCS
TUESDAY MORNING STILL REMAINS SOME WHAT UNCERTAIN THOUGH ANY
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY COULD PUSH THROUGH THE REGION IF THE MCS STAYS
OVER KANSAS. THUS...WILL CONTINUE CHANCE POPS TUESDAY AND COOLER
TEMP NORTH OF I-40. IF INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE SYSTEM COULD REMAIN
NORTH OF THE REGION...THEN THESE TEMPS WILL NEED TO BE BUMPED BACK
UP.

A PIECE OF ENERGY WITHIN THE NORTHWESTERLY UPPER LEVEL FLOW LOOKS
TO MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS WELL
WHICH WILL KEEP POPS IN THE GRIDS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE GREATEST
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO BE THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY IN RESPONSE TO A STRONGER COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE
PLAINS. TEMPS BEHIND THIS FRONT SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE BELOW NORMAL
WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S FOR MOST LOCATIONS INTO THE WEEKEND. USED THE
ECMWF FOR DETAILS IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS AS IT CONTINUES TO BE
THE MOST CONSISTENT WITH THIS SYSTEM.
