Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 4:00 PM CDT, 1 hour 44 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
400 PM CDT SUN JUN 26 2016

.DISCUSSION...
We will cancel the heat advisory with this forecast issuance as
dewpoints have been running a bit lower than expected, which has
kept most heat index values below the 105 threshold. Isolated to
widely scattered showers and thunderstorms have also developed,
and these are resulting in some temporary relief from the heat in
a few spots.

Unsettled weather will be the rule over the next week, with near
daily chances of showers and thunderstorms. A myriad of surface
boundaries will be lying across the area, with synoptic scale
boundaries being muddled by convective outflow boundaries. The
upper ridge will retrograde to the west resulting in stronger
northwest flow over our area by the middle to latter part of the
coming week. This will result in a favorable setup for periodic
MCS's to roll southeast across the area.

Temperatures this week will mainly be driven by convective
coverage, with the days of greatest storm coverage being less hot.
Enjoy the temporary break from the well above normal temperatures
this coming week, as long range progs show the heat will return in
full force around and just after the fourth of July.

Stayed close to guidance temperatures the next couple days.
