AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 339 PM CDT WED JUN 21 2006 .DISCUSSION... OVERALL... THE WEATHER SYSTEMS SEEM TO BE ABOUT WHERE WE HAVE EXPECTED THEM TO BE... SO THERE ARE RELATIVELY FEW CHANGES IN THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. THE MAIN CHANGES ARE IN THE DETAILS OF WHERE WE EXPECT CONVECTION TO BE OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS OR SO. BASED ON SHORT-TERM MODEL INDICATIONS AND CURRENT SATELLITE/RADAR IMAGERY... IT APPEARS THAT THERE WILL BE A LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX OVER THE HIGH PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING... WHICH SHOULD THEN TRAVEL EAST AND SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA... AND POSSIBLY BEYOND. THIS SHOULD... IN TURN... PLACE AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY OF THE RED RIVER TOMORROW. THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD THEN BECOME THE FOCUS FOR MORE STORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. MEANWHILE... A WEAK COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO DRIFT SOUTH INTO OKLAHOMA... BUT IT WILL LIKELY LOSE DEFINITION DUE TO THE RAMPANT CONVECTION. BEYOND SATURDAY MORNING... FLOW WEAKENS CONSIDERABLY AND THERE IS NO WAY AT THIS POINT TO PINPOINT WHEN AND WHERE ANY CONVECTION MAY FORM... SINCE REMAINING BOUNDARIES MAY... OR MAY NOT... HELP FOCUS ANY CONVECTION THAT DOES GET GOING. AS A RESULT... WE HAVE RETAINED MINIMAL POPS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. IN GENERAL... TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY NEAR THE SEASONAL AVERAGE... AND NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE MADE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
