NWS Norman, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 11, 10:00 AM CST, 3 hours 45 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 1100 AM CDT MON SEP 11 2006 WEAK COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY SWD ACROSS THE FA THIS MORNING. TEMPS AHEAD OF THE FRONT REMAIN FAIRLY WARM AND WITH MORE SUN EXPECTED IN THAT AREA WILL BUMP UP MAX TEMPS A COUPLE OF CATS. A FEW SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED FROM SW INTO CNTRL OK ROUGHLY IN VCNTY OF H8 FRONT. EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE INTO THE AFTN AS ANOTHER MINOR S/W MOVES THROUGH IN NWLY UPR FLOW. ACTIVITY MAY BE STRONGER AND MORE WIDESPREAD IN THE SE AS FRONT MOVES INTO THAT AREA. II AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 307 AM CDT MON SEP 11 2006 .DISCUSSION... LARGE-SCALE PATTERN TRANSITION IS UNDERWAY THAT WILL LEAD TO A LONGWAVE TROF OVER THE WESTERN U.S. AND A SW FLOW ALOFT OVER THE PLAINS BY LATE WEEK. THIS PATTERN HAS BEEN HARD TO COME BY IN RECENT MONTHS/YEARS - OR AT LEAST HARD TO KEEP AROUND FOR ANY SUSTAINED LENGTH OF TIME. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHETHER WE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS LONGWAVE SETUP TO CATCH UP ON MUCH-NEEDED RAINFALL OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. NEAR-TERM ISSUE IS THE DOUBLE-BARREL UPPER TROF NOW OVER THE PLAINS. COLD FRONT CURRENTLY ANALYZED ACROSS NE/CENTRAL OK EXPECTED TO MOVE SE INTO TX AND FAR SE OK BY THIS EVENING... WITH RAIN/TSTORM CHANCES DIMINISHING BEHIND IT. THIS MOVEMENT WILL BE DRIVEN PARTIALLY BY CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW AND PARTIALLY BY SHORTWAVE TROF ACTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEAD UPPER SYSTEM NOW OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS. MAIN SHOT OF COOLER/DRIER AIR IS NOT EXPECTED TO MAKE A STRONG PUSH S UNTIL THE KICKER TROF NOW DIVING INTO THE DAKOTAS REACHES THE CENTRAL/S PLAINS TONIGHT. LOW CLOUDS MAY REMAIN WIDESPREAD TONIGHT AND INTO AT LEAST EARLY TUE BEHIND THE FRONT... BUT THE NAM LOOKS OVERDONE IN PROGGING WIDESPREAD 90+ RH AT LOW LEVELS OVER E KS AND NE OK INTO LATE TUE. THUS EXPECT BREAKS IN CLOUDS AND ENOUGH HEATING TO WARM N OK AT LEAST INTO MID-UPPER 70S. ALL IN ALL WE HAVE FOLLOWED MOS AND PERSISTENCE. EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS TROF WILL BE FOLLOWED BY INCREASING RIDGING SFC AND ALOFT OVER THE AREA WED-THU... AS TEMPORARY DOUBLE-VORTEX BLOCK OVER THE SW IS BROKEN DOWN BY STRONG HEIGHT FALLS OVER THE PACIFIC NW. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO A DRY AND RELATIVELY PLEASANT LATE-SUMMER REGIME WITH WARM DAYS AND MILD NIGHTS. S PART OF THE BLOCK... IN FORM OF AN UPPER LOW NOW SETTING UP NEAR S CA... WILL BE EJECTED INTO THE S PLAINS THU-FRI. THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE LIMITED TIME TO TAP THE GULF... AND THUS WILL LIKELY BE STARVED FOR MOISTURE BY THE TIME IT GETS HERE. MORE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT WILL BE AN INTENSIFYING SFC AND UPPER STORM SYSTEM OVER THE N ROCKIES/PLAINS NEXT WEEKEND. ALTHOUGH STRONG DYNAMIC FORCING APPEARS LIKELY TO REMAIN MOSTLY N OF THE AREA... RETURN FLOW FROM GULF AND INCREASING W-SW FLOW ALOFT COULD LEAD TO DECENT INSTABILITY & SHEAR ALONG THE TRAILING COLD FRONT BY AROUND SUNDAY. WE HAVE BUMPED POPS UP TO CHANCE CATEGORY ON SUNDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
