AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
251 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014

.DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED STRONG PULSE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON HOURS BEFORE SLOWLY DISSIPATING THIS EVENING WITH LOSS
OF HEATING. THE STRONGER STORMS WILL LIKELY BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING SMALL HAIL/GUSTY WINDS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
LIKELY.

WEAKNESS IN UPPER RIDGE WILL PERSIST FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH A
CONTINUED CHANCE FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY
DURING PEAK HEATING. ISOLATED STORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH LIFTS INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. MAIN
DYNAMICS IN ASSOCIATION WITH SYSTEM WILL STAY NORTH KEEPING OVERALL
PRECIPITATION COVERAGE FAIRLY LIMITED.

UPPER RIDGE WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO BUILD INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
SUN/MON WITH A SLOW WARMING TREND. WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
APPROACH THE REGION INTO TUESDAY BUT MAY STALL JUST NORTH OF AREA
ACROSS KANSAS/MISSOURI. FOR NOW WILL KEEP JUST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
ACROSS NE OK/NW AR THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED PERIODS.
