Hail and Damaging Wind in Texas, July 4, 2005

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
200 PM CDT MON JUL 4 2005

.DISCUSSION...
SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS MAY LINGER NEAR THE RED RIVER EARLY THIS
EVENING FROM NORTH OF THE MORNINGS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY BEFORE THEY
DIE. WITH NORTHWEST FLOW PERSISTING THROUGH THURSDAY, EACH NIGHT
MAY SEE AN MCS IN SOME PART OF OK. STORMS EARLY THIS EVENING
DEVELOPING IN THE UPSLOPE FLOW OVER CO AND NORTHERN NM WILL BE
AIDED BY A WEAK CENTRAL ROCKIES WAVE. AS THE UPPER-LEVEL JET MAX
ROUNDS THE SOUTH PART OF THIS WAVE ACROSS NORTHERN NM LATER THIS
EVENING, THE LOW-LEVEL JET WILL SET UP THROUGH THE PAN HANDLES.
THE SOUTHEAST BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW WILL ADD TO THE MAINTENANCE OF
STORMS AS IT DID LAST NIGHT. TONIGHTS COMPLEX MAY BE FARTHER WEST
GIVEN THE ORIENTATION OF THE UPPER FLOW AND THE LOW-LEVEL JET.

TUESDAY NIGHT, AND TO A LESSER EXTENT, WEDNESDAY NIGHT MAY SEE THE
SAME PATTERN OF NIGHTTIME STORMS OVER OK AND NORTH TX. POPS HAVE
BEEN SPLIT BEFORE AND AFTER MIDNIGHT AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES
LOWERED SLIGHTLY THE NEXT 3 DAYS IN AREAS EXPECTED TO BE WELL-
BEHIND THE NIGHTS OUTFLOWS.

MODELS SUGGEST THAT BY FRIDAY, THE MEXICO RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO
BUILD INTO THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS WITH A WEAK UPPER TROUGH OVER
THE SOUTHERN MS VALLEY. THIS SHOULD GREATLY DIMINISHES CHANCES FOR
NIGHTTIME STORMS IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.

HIGHEST DURING THE LATE NIGHT AND MORNING HOURS.
