AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
342 PM CDT TUE JUN 20 2006
.DISCUSSION...
THE UPPER RIDGE THAT IS SUPPLYING OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES WITH
BLAZING AFTERNOON HEAT WILL BE BEATEN BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS WILL ALSO ALTER THE PRECIPITATION
PATTERN... FROM THE CURRENT SCATTERED STORMS OVER THE HIGH PLAINS
THAT GENERALLY DO NOT MAKE IT INTO OUR COUNTIES... TO MORE OF A
NORTHWEST FLOW NOCTURNAL MCS KIND OF THING. THIS WILL HAVE THE
EFFECT OF INCREASING OUR RAIN CHANCES AND DROPPING DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES BACK TO NEAR NORMAL... IF NOT BELOW... BEGINNING
THURSDAY.
ALTHOUGH THE MEX GUIDANCE DROPS RAIN CHANCES BELOW 20 PERCENT
AFTER FRIDAY... THE GFS DOES SHOW LINGERING BOUNDARIES IN THE
AREA... SO IT SEEMS PRUDENT TO RETAIN OUR POPS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.
FIRE ISSUES SHOULD IMPROVE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS WINDS
DECREASE... AND AFTERNOON HIGHS DROP BACK A FEW DEGREES PER DAY.
