Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 6:19 PM CDT, 1 hour 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 619 PM CDT Sat Aug 1 2020 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday) Issued at 250 PM CDT Sat Aug 1 2020 Very pleasant conditions currently thanks to a modified polar airmass. This will be reinforced through tonight and tomorrow as a secondary surface high moves down the central plains. Some showers and thunderstorms are being observed along this front across north central KS, and could make their way into northern OK by tonight. Higher PoPs are anticipated for tomorrow afternoon through early Monday morning mainly across portions of western OK and adjacent north TX within WAA and northerly flow regime on the eastern periphery of the upper ridge. Any stronger storms, however, should remain over the TX panhandle. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through next Friday) Issued at 250 PM CDT Sat Aug 1 2020 Most of the extended period will be dominated by northwest flow aloft as an upper ridge holds over the southwestern US. This will lead to a continuation of below normal temperatures and at least occasional storm chances as disturbances track around the periphery of the ridge. Precipitation chances appear highest across western and northern Oklahoma closer to convection moving off the higher terrain to our west, especially through midweek. Later in the week, the upper ridge is forecast to expand eastward, which should favor northern and eastern Oklahoma more for thunderstorm activity. This will also lead to increasing temperatures late in the week into the weekend, with highs returning to the 90s for most of the area with 100s for portions of southwest Oklahoma and western north Texas. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 601 PM CDT Sat Aug 1 2020 VFR conditions and north winds generally less than 12kt. are expected through the daytime Sunday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
