AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 933 AM CDT MON AUG 28 2006 .UPDATE... CONVECTION CONTINUES TO WEAKEN OVER WEST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AS WELL AS THAT IN SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. WILL DECREASE POPS ALTHOUGH COOLER TEMPERATURES ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW MOVING THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS COULD STILL RESULT IN A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS TEMPERATURES WARM THIS AFTERNOON. ALSO WILL ADJUST GRIDS TO REMOVE THE FOG WHICH HAS LIFTED IN MOST AREAS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 410 AM CDT MON AUG 28 2006) DISCUSSION... NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE MORNING...PRIMARILY ACROSS THE RED RIVER VALLEY REGION...WHERE THEY NEED IT THE MOST. WILL KEEP HIGH CHANCE AND SOME LIKELY POPS INTO THE AFTERNOON NEAR AND SOUTH OF THE RED RIVER. WILL ADD MENTION OF FOG...SOME DENSE...ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF OKLAHOMA...WHERE LIGHT WINDS...WET GROUND...AND CLEARING SKIES HAVE ALLOWED RADIATION FOG TO FORM. A FEW LOCATIONS ALREADY DOWN TO 1/4-1/2 MILE...BUT CURRENTLY DO NOT THINK THAT VERY LOW VISIBILITIES WILL BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT DENSE FOG ADVISORY. GIVEN THAT FAR SOUTHERN ZONES SHOULD BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS MUCH OF THE DAY...INSTABILITY SHOULD BE RELATIVELY LOW...AND WITH WEAK SHEAR...NO ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED. POPS WILL BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE FORECAST LATE TUESDAY AS MUCH DRIER AIR FILTERS INTO THE REGION BEHIND A MORE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE IN AIRMASS. GOING ON COOLER SIDE OF MOS TUESDAY...AS LOW-MID LEVEL THERMAL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVER EXPECTED TO AFFECT NORTHERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. THIS WILL HELP KEEP TEMPS DOWN WELL BELOW NORMAL. WITH LESS CLOUD COVER AND RETREATING RIDGE...A REBOUND IN TEMPERATURES EXPECTED WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE AN EVEN STRONGER FRONT ARRIVES LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH STRONG NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED LOW-LEVEL RIDGE DEVELOPMENT. IF FORECAST TRENDS CONTINUE...IT WILL DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE EARLY FALL BY SATURDAY AND CONTINUING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. WILL KEEP POPS GOING FOR LATE FRIDAY INTO SUNDAY...AND WILL ALSO TRIM TEMPS BACK A LITTLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
