AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
403 PM CDT SUN JUN 22 2014

.DISCUSSION...
WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED AGAIN
THIS AFTERNOON. MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE BY SUNSET BUT
THAT WILL NOT BE THE END OF OUR RAIN CHANCES. ONE OR MORE
CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES THAT DEVELOP TO OUR NORTH AND NORTHWEST WILL
MAKE A RUN AT MAINLY EASTERN OKLAHOMA OVERNIGHT. THE SEVERE
WEATHER RISK LOOKS PRETTY LIMITED THIS FAR SOUTH WITH JUST A LOW
DAMAGING WIND RISK OVERNIGHT.

NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY AS THE MCS
DECAYS OVER OUR AREA IN THE MORNING...WITH AFTERNOON STORMS
REFIRING ALONG LEFTOVER BOUNDARIES. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL ALSO
BE DROPPING SOUTH INTO THE AREA LATE MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT WHICH
MAY ALSO HELP FOCUS STORM DEVELOPMENT DEPENDING ON AIRMASS
RECOVERY BEHIND THE MCS.

SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE MUCH OF THE WEEK AS
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WASHES OUT OVER THE AREA AND WEAK UPPER LEVEL
IMPULSES MOVE THROUGH. STORM COVERAGE SHOULD BE LOW ENOUGH BY NEXT
WEEKEND TO NOT INCLUDE POPS AT THIS TIME AS UPPER RIDGING WILL
BECOME MORE DOMINANT BY THEN. ISOLATED DIURNAL CONVECTION STILL
LOOKS LIKE A DECENT BET THOUGH...BUT WITH COVERAGE LIKELY ONLY
AROUND 10 PERCENT BY THEN. BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES EARLY THIS
WEEK WILL GRADUALLY WARM TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL BY NEXT
WEEKEND.

STAYED CLOSE TO GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.
