Area Forecast Discussion

.DISCUSSION...
Showers and thunderstorms have largely diminished or exited the
area this morning which has left a rather stable atmosphere in its
wake with the exception of SE OK where ample amounts of MUCAPE
still exist. This area of instability will likely linger across SE
OK which will continue to allow for showers and storms to develop
through the day. The main change to the short term forecast has
come in the form of reducing PoPs across much of the area today.
It appears the activity from yesterday will likely leave the area
fairly stable and with the main boundary now south of the Red
River, there will be a lack of triggers to initiate convection
this afternoon. With that said, a few showers and storms seem
reasonable across NW AR thanks to higher terrain influences and
across far southeast Oklahoma closer to the aforementioned
boundary. Overall, it should be a nice day for most with
temperatures below normal and skies gradually clearing from north
to south.

The area will be within a weak trough for Sunday which will
continue to keep temperatures below normal and will keep a chance
for showers and storms in the forecast for parts of the area. PoPs
were generally painted along and south of I-40 (with the
exception of higher terrain influences across NW AR) closer to
where a surface boundary will be located. Storm chances will
likely be best across far southeast Oklahoma along the Red River.

Monday will likely be a transition day as surface flow begins to
reorient to be more from the south as a storm system moves onto
the central and southern plains. This will lead to an increase in
moisture and a gradual increase in temperatures through the week.
Thursday may see temperatures back to normal for this time of
year. These temperatures combined with the high dew points
expected will likely yield heat indices above 100 for most with
some locations exceeding 105. Precipitation will largely hold off
for most on Monday. The next storm system in the form of a short
wave will move into the region Tuesday bringing us our next best
chance for showers and storms. I thought about increasing PoPs for
Tuesday into the likely category but timing differences precluded
an upgrade. With that said, showers and storms are a good bet
across the area Tuesday and Wednesday as the short wave trough
swings through. Past Wednesday, model solutions differ on timing
and intensity but are in general agreement that another wave will
move through Thursday and/or Friday bringing us yet another round
of showers and storms.
