Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 609 AM CDT Wed Jul 13 2022 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 313 AM CDT Wed Jul 13 2022 Some spotty showers have developed across Oklahoma, mainly along the I-40 corridor. Similar to yesterday morning, these are developing in an 850mb baroclinic zone, however in a much worse convective environment with close to nil instability or shear. Aside from these relatively short lived showers, Wednesday is expected dry with seasonably normal high temperatures in central and northern Oklahoma with highs in the 90s, while southern Oklahoma and western north Texas will remain hot and above average with temperatures in the 100s. With the upper level ridge remaining positioned over the southwestern United States, skies will remain mostly clear and this will likely be the beginning of a very boring stretch of weather. Zwink && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 313 AM CDT Wed Jul 13 2022 Mid to upper heights will increase Thursday within the eastern extent of the ridge, with subsidence following a subtle mid level shortwave trough moving into central TX. High temperatures will again climb into the triple digits under these conditions. Thankfully, drier boundary layer air will keep heat index values below 105 for most of the area. The exception may be across far southeastern OK. The hot trend will continue well into the weekend as the upper ridge expands and heights increase over the Southern Plains. Surface dewpoints will likely increase a couple degrees Friday with some low level moisture advection expected under the influence of more SSE flow. Would then expect at least a few locations reaching or exceeding heat advisory criteria, especially across north central OK. A mid level shortwave trough will make its way around the ridge and into the Central Plains during the day Saturday. A stalling cold front and accompanying moist convection will near our northern border during the evening but it will remain very hot ahead of it with another possible heat advisory for a portion of the forecast area. Some of the aforementioned convection may continue southward overnight through the morning hours along and east of I-35 as mid level WAA increases. For now, will only include SChc PoPs considering most of the forcing and better moisture will remain to our east. After this feature passes Sunday, precipitation chances should return to near zero Monday and Tuesday. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 607 AM CDT Wed Jul 13 2022 Showers and storms have developed in northwestern Oklahoma and will move southeast through Oklahoma early Wednesday morning before gradually dissipating. Other than these storms, VFR conditions are expected to continue through Thursday morning. High clouds will lessen in coverage through Wednesday, with surface winds shifting out of the east across the region. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
