Area forecast discussion, Apr 30, 2:23 PM CDT, 6 hours 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
223 PM CDT SAT APR 30 2016

.DISCUSSION...
THE MAIN CHALLENGE IS DETERMINING RAIN CHANCES SUNDAY THROUGH
EARLY MONDAY.

TONIGHT...MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER WILL INCREASE OVER
NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA. ALTHOUGH DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE
LACKING...THERE MAY BE JUST ENOUGH MID LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE
AFTER 2 AM TONIGHT TO ALLOW FOR SOME SPRINKLES OVER FAR
NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA NEAR BUFFALO...GAGE...WOODWARD...AND ALVA.
USED A BLEND OF GUIDANCE LOWS...WHICH WILL BE ON THE COOL
SIDE...ABOUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR...MAINLY IN THE 40S.

SUNDAY...CLOUDS AND POSSIBLE LIGHT RAIN AND OR SPRINKLES WILL
LIKELY KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN AND ON THE COOL SIDE ACROSS
NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA. KEPT LOW RAIN CHANCES WEST OF A KNOX CITY
TEXAS TO ANADARKO TO PONCA CITY LINE WHERE MOISTURE WILL BE
DEEPEST...THOUGH THINK MUCH OF THE DAY WILL BE DRY IN THESE
LOCATIONS AND ANY RAINFALL WILL BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE DUE TO THE
LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE. MORE SUN AND WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR
SOUTHEAST OF I-44.

SUNDAY NIGHT...RAIN CHANCES MAY INCREASE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA
AS ISENTROPIC LIFT INCREASES. THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE APPEARS TO
BE LIMITED...THUS ANY RAINFALL SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT AND MAINLY
UNDER 0.25 INCH. REMOVED THUNDER MENTION AS THE AIR SHOULD BE TOO
STABLE. RAINFALL MAY BE SPOTTY WITH MANY LOCATIONS REMAINING DRY.

MONDAY...SOME MOISTURE AND LOW RAIN CHANCES MAY LINGER MAINLY
DURING THE MORNING HOURS BEFORE CLEARING CONDITIONS OCCUR. HIGHS
WILL REMAIN ON THE COOL SIDE.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...DRY AND PLEASANT WEATHER IS FORECAST WITH
INCREASING TEMPERATURES EACH DAY.

NEXT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...STORM CHANCES MAY INCREASE AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING MID/UPPER LOW. THE TIMING AND IMPACTS FROM THIS
SYSTEM REMAIN VERY UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME.
