AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK 249 PM CDT TUE AUG 15 2006 .DISCUSSION... SYNOPTIC FRONT IS VERY HARD TO FIND AT THIS POINT...BUT SEVERAL BOUNDARIES EXIST ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW STORMS DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON ALONG AND SOUTH OF BOUNDARY STRETCHING ACROSS FAR SE OKLAHOMA...AND ALONG ANOTHER SITUATED FROM NEAR MKO TO FYV. OVERALL ACTIVITY THIS EVENING SHOULD BE LESS ORGANIZED... BUT STILL A LIMITED GUSTY WIND THREAT WITH STRONGER CELLS. UNLIKE LAST NIGHT NO WELL DEFINED UPPER AIR FEATURES WILL BE PRESENT...BUT SOME DEGREE OF ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BE PRESENT ESPECIALLY ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF I-40. AGAIN...EXPECT LESS ORGANIZATION COMPARED TO LAST NIGHT BUT STILL A DECENT CHANCE OF STORMS OVER ABOUT THE NORTH 2/3 OF CWA TONIGHT. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL REGAIN STRENGTH OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THE LATE PART OF THIS WEEK...MEANING THAT THE HEAT WILL BE ON ONCE AGAIN. PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD END AFTER WEDNESDAY AS WELL. WRF 850 TEMPS BY WEEKS END SUGGEST A MAJOR WARM UP COULD BE IN STORE AND THIS IS REFLECTED IN PROGGED SFC TEMPS...GFS IS A LITTLE COOLER BUT STILL SUPPORTS TEMPS OVER 100 FOR MUCH OF THE AREA BY THU/FRI. SWATH OF 1-2 INCH RAINFALL FROM NORTHERN CREEK THROUGH ROGERS COUNTY IN NE OK WILL LIKELY KEEP TEMPS A FEW DEGREES BELOW FULL POTENTIAL. EXCESSIVE HEAT HEADLINES MAY ULTIMATELY BE NEEDED AND WILL ALSO HAVE TO WATCH FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL VERY CLOSELY IN AREAS THAT DO NOT RECEIVE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INCLUDING ENSEMBLE GFS CONTINUE TO SAG A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY THE WEEKEND...AND EVENTUALLY INTO NORTHERN OK/AR BY ABOUT SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY. WILL GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE LOW POPS IN THE NORTH BEGINNING SAT NIGHT INTO MONDAY. WILL ALSO INDICATE A MODEST COOLING TREND AND IF THIS FRONT CAN PUSH FARTHER SOUTH WE MAY ACTUALLY SEE TEMPS BELOW NORMAL BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT THAT IS PROBABLY WISHFUL THINKING. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
