AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 1100 AM CDT MON AUG 14 2006 .UPDATE... WITH MAIN SFC FRONT STILL TO OUR NORTH ALONG WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS ALL BUT NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA... TEMPS WILL RESPOND. HAVE THEREFORE RAISED TEMPS ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANGES. OTHERWISE STILL APPEARS BETTER CHANCES OF PRECIP ACROSS NORTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF AREA LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. UPDATES ON THEIR WAY. 30 ----------------------------------------------- 348 AM CDT MON AUG 14 2006 .DISCUSSION...FAIRLY WIDESPREAD CONVECTION CONTINUES EARLY THIS MORNING OVER ABOUT THE NWRN THIRD OF OK. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO PUSH SWD THROUGH CNTRL AND SW OK. DIFFICULT TO SAY WHERE BOUNDARY WILL BE SITUATED THIS AFTN BUT THINK THAT ERN END MAY SLOW DOWN LATER LATER TODAY AS IT PUSHES AWAY FROM MAIN AREA OF CONVECTION. WRN END MAY CONTINUE TO PROGRESS FRTHR SWD AS MORE WIDESPREAD PRECIP PERSISTS THERE. BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL TEND TO BE IN WRN SECTIONS TODAY AS PLUME OF DEEPER MOISTURE INTERACTS WITH SFC BOUNDARY AIDED BY WK IMPULSE LIFTING NEWD FROM NM. WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND SLOW MOVING STORMS HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE IN THAT AREA. A GOOD BET THAT NW WILL BE MUCH COOLER WITH THICK CLOUD COVER AND OCNL SHOWERS/TSTMS. FRTHR SE THINGS ARE MORE TRICKY WITH MAXES DEPENDING GREATLY ON LOCATION OF BNDRY AND THICKER CLOUD COVER. WILL KEEP THE SE AND SCNTRL AREAS FAIRLY HOT AGAIN TODAY WITH COOLER TEMPS FROM SW INTO CNTRL SECS. POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL STORMS TO DEVELOP THIS AFTN ALONG THE BOUNDARY. WITH HOT AFTN TEMPS AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY AND MAYBE A BIT MORE MOISTURE THAN THE PAST FEW DAYS EXPECT DECENT INSTAB BY LATE AFTN. COULD SEE A FEW SEVERE STORMS WITH STRONG WINDS THE MAIN THREAT. PRECIP CHANCES REMAIN FAIRLY HIGH INTO TONIGHT ALONG AND NORTH OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY AS PREVIOUSLY MENTION IMPULSE OVER NM CONTINUES TO DRIFT NEWD. WILL GO WITH MORE SWD GFS SFC BOUNDARY FOR TONIGHT AS EXPECT WIDESPREAD CONVECTION TO HELP DRIVE BOUNDARY FRTHR S THAN WRF INDICATES. MODELS ARE SIMILAR WITH WEAKENING BOUNDARY LIFTING NWD TUESDSAY/TUESDAY NIGHT WITH LESSENING PRECIP CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA. RETURN TO DRY/WARMER WEATHER WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AS UPR RIDGE REBUILDS OVER THE AREA AND DSPTG BOUNDARY LIFTS N OF THE FA. GFS AND TO A LESSER EXTENT ECMWF SHOW ANOTHER FRONT MOVING INTO THE FA LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. DUE TO UNCERTAINTY WITH SWD PROGRESSION OF THIS FRONT FOR NOW WILL LIMIT POPS TO ABOUT THE NW HALF OF THE AREA AND WILL LOOK TO SEE IF LATER RUNS SUPPORT THIS SCENARIO. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
