AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK 317 PM CDT SAT AUG 19 2006 .DISCUSSION... ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE WEAK WIND SHIFT BOUNDARY. EXPECT SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS TO PRODUCE STRONG DOWN BURST WINDS GIVEN THE TEMPERATURE/DEW POINT SPREAD. THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DISSIPATE QUICKLY AS WE LOOSE HEATING. WEAK SHALLOW BOUNDARY WASHING OUT WITH TIME AS IT CONTINUES A SOUTHWARD DRIFT. AIR MASS REMAINS WARM AND RELATIVELY MOIST. MORE SIGNIFICANT BOUNDARY REMAINS TO OUR NORTHWEST. EXPECT THIS TO BECOME MORE ACTIVE DURING THE EVENING AND GIVE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA DECENT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH RAIN DOES DEVELOP AND HAVE ACTUALLY SHADED THEM TO THE LOW SIDE DUE TO RAIN IN THE NORTH AND LACK OF CLOUDS IN THE SOUTHEAST. TEMPERATURES AND RAIN CHANCES ON SUNDAY VERY DIFFICULT. COULD SEE LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS LIMITING HEATING FOR A GOOD PART OF THE DAY. IF THE RAIN ENDS AND SOME CLEARING OCCURS...TEMPERATURES COULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY WARMER. NOT SURE THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE PUSHING SOUTH OF THE AREA MORE LIKELY WILL TURN INTO A VERY BROAD AND DIFFUSE ZONE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. HAVE BROAD BRUSHED LOW POPS DUE TO THIS. FOR WEDNESDAY AND THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST HAVE PUT IN SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND NO MENTION OF RAIN WITH UPPER AIR PATTERN KEEPING MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WELL NORTH OF OUR AREA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
