AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK 248 PM CDT MON AUG 14 2006 .DISCUSSION... POPS FORECAST WILL BE SOMEWHAT TRICKY TONIGHT AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY PRESENTLY FROM ABOUT A MIAMI TO PAWNEE LINE SAGS ACROSS PART OF THE AREA DURING THE NIGHT. IN ADDITION...AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM SOUTHERN KANSAS STORMS EARLY THIS MORNING REMAINS PRESENT SOMEWHERE NEAR I-40. A FEW STORMS HAVE BEGUN TO FIRE ALONG THESE TWO FEATURES AND SHOULD CONTINUE ON THROUGH THE EVENING. MODIFIED MORNING SOUNDINGS INDICATE DEEP INVERTED-V STRUCTURE AND A FEW STRONG OR DAMAGING DOWNBURSTS SEEM LIKELY THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...WITH BETTER CHANCES TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. MEANWHILE A WELL DEFINED MCV CLEARLY SEEN ON VIS SATELLITE NEAR ABILENE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY LIFT NORTH NORTHEAST. MODEL TRENDS HAVE BEEN TO LIFT THIS FEATURE ALMOST DUE NORTH AND EVENTUALLY SHEAR IT APART AS IT ENCOUNTERS THE FRONTAL ZONE ACROSS NW OKLAHOMA. THIS FEATURE COULD SERVE TO ENHANCE CONVECTION ALONG FRONT SHOULD IT MAINTAIN ITSELF LONG ENOUGH AND WILL THUS KEEP MEDIUM TO HIGH CHANCE POPS GOING THROUGH THE NIGHT MOST AREAS. FRONTAL POSITION AND POSSIBLE ONGOING CONVECTION EARLY MAKE FOR TRICKY TEMP FORECAST TUESDAY. BOTH WRF/GFS FROM 12Z SUGGEST FRONT WILL NOT CLEAR SE OKLAHOMA AND GIVEN UPPER FLOW PATTERN AND TIME OF YEAR THIS SEEMS PLAUSIBLE...BUT IF CONVECTION BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD OUTFLOW COULD PUSH MUCH FURTHER SOUTH. HAVE STUCK WITH IDEA OF GOING ABOVE GUIDANCE TEMPS WITH FAR SOUTHERN AREAS AGAIN TOPPING 100. RETURN FLOW SETS UP QUICKLY MIDWEEK AS FRONT WASHES OUT AND BRINGS MORE HOT WEATHER. AGAIN HAVE GONE WELL ABOVE GUIDANCE TEMPS THROUGH THE LATER PERIODS. STILL SOME POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH BY THE WEEKEND...BUT FOR NOW HAVE KEPT HOT AND DRY FORECAST THROUGH DAY 7. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
