AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 930 PM CDT TUE JUL 5 2005 .DISCUSSION... GOING FORECAST CONT TO REMAIN ON TRACK. STILL APPEARS A GOOD BET FOR PRECIP ACROSS THE WESTERN SECTIONS OF OKLAHOMA. ALTHOUGH SEVERE THREAT DOES NOT LOOK AS HIGH AS PREV FEW NIGHTS...STILL ANTICIPATE A FEW WARNINGS... ESPECIALLY ACROSS WEST. WILL NEED TO REVISIT POPS TOWARD MIDNIGHT. MAY NEED TO RAISE POPS FARTHER EAST AS WE WATCH TREND OF MCS. OTHERWISE NO OTHER CHANGES ANTICIPATED. NO UPDATES AT THIS TIME. 30 ------------------------------------------------- 241 PM CDT TUE JUL 5 2005 .DISCUSSION... CONVECTION INITIATING ONCE AGAIN OVER THE COLORADO AND NORTHERN NEW MEXICO MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON. UPSLOPE FLOW AND A WEAK UPPER WAVE IS LIKELY AIDING THIS DEVELOPMENT. AS THIS ACTIVITY ORGANIZES... WE EXPECT TO SEE A RETURN ENGAGEMENT OF THE OVERNIGHT MCS ACTION ACROSS THE CWA. MODELS SEEM TO DO A REASONABLE JOB WITH SIGNALING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE SYSTEMS... BUT OF LATE... CONTINUE TO VERY SLOW WITH THE SUBSEQUENT MOVEMENT TO THE SOUTHEAST. SOME QUESTION REMAINS ON THE EXACT EVOLUTION AND TRACK OF THE CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES... BUT BELIEVE THE HIGHEST PCPN CHANCES WILL BE ACROSS THE WEST. ELSEWHERE... NARROW BAND OF TSTMS THAT HAD DEVELOPED OVER THE EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE EARLIER TODAY... CONTINUES TO BE IN A DOWNWARD TREND... NOT A LOT UNLIKE ACTIVITY THAT OCCURRED THE PAST DAY OR SO. ITS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THERE COULD BE A STORM OR TWO DEVELOP NEAR A SURFACE WIND SHIFT LINE OVER WESTERN NORTH TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER... CONVERGENCE LOOKS PRETTY WEAK AND SATELLITE NOT CURRENTLY INDICATING ANY CLOUD LINES IN THE AREA. ALSO COULD SEE A LITTLE ACTIVITY NEAR THE MCV OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS... BUT ANYTHING THAT FORMS WITH THE MCV SHOULD BE NORTHEAST OF OUR AREA. COULD SEE YET ANOTHER OVERNIGHT MCS EVENT WEDNESDAY NIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY. WILL LEAVE IN LOW POPS FOR NOW FOR THURSDAY NIGHT... BUT CONDITIONS FOR CO/NM TSTM DEVELOPMENT ARE BECOMING LESS FAVORABLE. IN THE LONGER TERM... GFS STARTS TO PULL TROPICAL SYSTEM DENNIS INTO THE AREA NEXT WEEK... BUT THATS STILL A GOOD BIT OUT. MORNING CLOUDS/PCPN GENERATED BY OVERNIGHT MCS WILL CONTINUE TO HELP KEEP TEMPS FROM HEATING UP TOO QUICKLY. SHOULD SEE HIGHS JUMPING UP A LITTLE FASTER AS WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND AND PCPN DROPS OFF. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
