AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
155 PM CDT FRI JUL 14 2006
.DISCUSSION...
MARGINAL HEAT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL BE EXPERIENCED THIS WEEKEND
MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 44 WHERE DEEPER MOISTURE EXISTS.
HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT THE WORST OF THE HEAT IS NOW BEHIND US.
COMBINING THE LATEST FORECASTS OF MAX TEMPS/DEWPTS USING THE NAM FOR
MOISTURE RESULTS IN HEAT INDICES BETWEEN 100 AND 104 ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH NIGHTTIME
LOWS AT OR ABOVE 75 DEGREES. IF A HEAT ADVISORY AND EXCESSIVE HEAT
WATCH WERE NOT IN EFFECT...WOULD PROBABLY NOT ISSUE A HEAT ADVISORY
FOR TOMORROW. HOWEVER...DO NOT WANT TO SEND A MIXED MESSAGE OVER A
WEEKEND WHEN MANY OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES ARE PLANNED. IT WILL STILL BE
HOT...AND HEAT RELATED STRESS MAY STILL DEVELOP. WILL CANCEL THE
WATCH HOWEVER AS THE MODELS SHOW THE MID/UPPER RIDGE PIVOTING
NORTHWARD WITH PROGRESSIVELY DRIER AIR DEVELOPING NEAR THE SURFACE.
FORECAST HEAT INDICES SUNDAY SHOULD BE A COUPLE DEGREES LOWER THAN
SATURDAY. FUTURE SHIFTS SHOULD MONITOR TRENDS/NEW MODELS THOUGH AND
SEE IF AN EXTENSION OF THE ADVISORY IS NECESSARY.
THE OTHER CONSIDERATION THIS WEEKEND WITH BE LOW POPS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TIER THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY. WEAK COLD FRONT OVER NORTHWEST
OKLAHOMA SHOULD DISSIPATE SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF ITS PRESENT LOCATION OVER
THE WEEKEND WITH A VEERING WIND PROFILE INCREASING LATE
TONIGHT/EARLY SATURDAY JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT WHERE AN ELEVATED
MIXED LAYER SHOULD RESIDE. NOT ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT ISOLATED
CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST...BUT THE
AREA COULD ALSO EXPERIENCE RENEWED HIGHER BASED CONVECTION LATER IN
THE NIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS AND VEERS TOWARD MORNING.
THE PRIMARY CHALLENGE NEXT WEEK WILL BE MONITORING CHANGES IN
TEMPERATURES WITH NO DRAMATIC CHANGES EXPECTED. PERSISTENCE WILL BE
THE MAIN GUIDANCE AS THE DROUGHT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE.
