Area Forecast Discussion

228 PM CDT Thu Jul 5 2018

.DISCUSSION...
Scattered showers/thunderstorms continue this afternoon across
SE OK and west-central Arkansas in association with westward
moving upper wave in combination with moist/unstable air-mass.
Gusty winds in the 40 to 50 mph range will be possible in the
stronger cells. Thunderstorm activity will likely begin to
dissipate by early evening with loss of surface heating. Otherwise,
hot and humid conditions will continue for the remainder of the
afternoon with heat indices in the 100-105 degree range.

Hot/humid weather will persist on Friday ahead of frontal boundary,
which will move through during the day. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms will again be possible, especially across southeast
Oklahoma in the deeper moisture. Finally some relief from the
heat and humidity expected for the weekend with drier air moving
into the region behind the front Saturday into Sunday.

Upper high begins to build back over the central plains into the
early part of the work week. Precipitation chances will begin to
return, especially across southeast Oklahoma, as a series of weak
upper waves move westward around southerly periphery of upper
ridge. High temperatures will remain around normal for the remainder
of the extended periods.
