AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
256 PM CDT SAT JUN 10 2006

.DISCUSSION...
A SLIGHT COOLING TREND...AT LEAST COOLER WITH RESPECT TO 100+
TEMPS...WILL COMMENCE TOMORROW AS WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS STILL
FORECAST TO PROGRESS SLOWLY THROUGH THE REGION. THE EFFECTS WILL
BE MOST NOTICEABLE ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA...LEAST NOTICEABLE
ACROSS OUR WESTERN NORTH TEXAS ZONES. MODERATE SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
TODAY ARE RESULTING IN NEAR OR RECORD BREAKING HEAT. THIS WILL BE
SEEN AGAIN TOMORROW JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WITH ONLY
FAR NORTHERN OKLAHOMA EXPECTED TO SEE A DROP IN HIGH TEMPS FOR
SUNDAY. MENTIONED FRONT IS FORECAST TO OOZE ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND
NORTH TEXAS SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY...WHICH IS DEPICTED MOST
AGRESSIVELY BY THE GFS. GIVEN UPPER RIDGE IN PLACE...FORECAST IS
MORE IN LINE WITH NAM/WRF MODELS IN BRINGING IN A MORE GRADUAL
BACK-DOOR FRONT. THIS WILL STILL YIELD SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES
FOR A FEW DAYS...MAINLY MONDAY AND TUESDAY...BEFORE UPPER 90S AND
100S RETURN.

AS FAR AS POPS...WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHANCES POPS GOING ACROSS THE
NORTH AND WEST TONIGHT WHERE MID-LEVEL MOISTURE PLUME AND WEAK
S/WV TROF COULD ALLOW FOR ISOLATED DEVELOPMENT. LOW POPS WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS THE NORTH AS POSSIBLE MCS DIVES SOUTHEAST OUT OF
KANSAS LATE TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. DURING THE DAY TOMORROW
WILL KEEP LOW POPS NEAR FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND WITH THE POSSIBILITY
FOR HIGH PLAINS MCS ACTIVITY AND NORTHWESTERLY FLOW...WILL KEEP
LOW POPS ACROSS ABOUT THE NORTHERN HALF OF OKLAHOMA INTO MONDAY
AFTERNOON. AFTER THAT...DRY FORECAST WILL BE MAINTAINED.

TIMING...
2 PM THROUGH 8 PM.

DISCUSSION...
A TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE SURFACE TO MID LEVELS WILL MOVE INTO
NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND THE EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON.
LIFTING AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE WILL COMBINE WITH WEAK TO MODERATE
INSTABILITY TO PRODUCE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. THE MOST LIKELY AREA
FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT IS BETWEEN CHEYENNE AND WOODWARD...WITH
MOVEMENT TO THE NORTHEAST. MORE ISOLATED ACTIVITY MAY DEVELOP IN THE
TEXAS PANHANDLE AND MOVE TOWARD FAR SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN
NORTH TEXAS...BETWEEN ELK CITY AND KNOX CITY. WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS
TODAY...THE HOT AND DRY ENVIRONMENT WILL SUPPORT STRONG WIND GUSTS
OR MICROBURSTS WHICH COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS. THE
ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH BY MID EVENING.

PROBABILITY TABLE...
VALID THROUGH 700 AM CDT SUNDAY JUN 11.
PROBABILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING IN THE
              NWS NORMAN COUNTY WARNING AREA...50 PERCENT.
PROBABILITY OF SEVERE STORMS IF STORMS OCCUR...20 PERCENT.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
CONTINUED HOT AND DRY WEATHER WILL STRESS BOTH PEOPLE AND
VEGETATION. PEOPLE INVOLVED IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITY WILL NEED TO TAKE
PRECAUTIONS TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF HEAT RELATED ILLNESS.

IN DRIER PARTS OF WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. PLEASE

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
ALTHOUGH COVERAGE WILL BE LIMITED...A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
AGAIN SUNDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SAG SOUTH ACROSS PARTS OF
OKLAHOMA DURING THE DAY. CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY AND STRONG
SURFACE HEATING MAY AGAIN SUPPORT THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHERN AND
WEST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
FROM MICROBURSTS.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
TEMPERATURES WILL COOL ONLY BRIEFLY IN PARTS OF OKLAHOMA.
OTHERWISE...THE UNSEASONABLE HEAT WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY AND INTO NEXT
WEEK. PEOPLE INVOLVED IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITY WILL NEED TO TAKE
