AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
435 AM CDT THU JUN 28 2007
.DISCUSSION...
THE SEEMINGLY ETERNAL UPPER LOW REMAINS THE MAIN FEATURE ON THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS WEATHER MAP THIS MORNING. RAIN CONTINUES TO
CIRCULATE AROUND THIS LOW... AS A VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE REMAINS
OVER THE REGION... AND ADDITIONAL MOISTURE IS SLOWLY DRAWN FROM
THE GULF OF MEXICO.
SHORT-TERM MODELS SEEM TO AGREE QUITE WELL THAT THE CURRENT RAIN
PATTERN WILL SHIFT INTO A STRETCH OF FAIRLY HEAVY RAIN ROUGHLY
ALONG I-44 THIS MORNING... AND REMAIN THERE THROUGH TONIGHT AT A
MINIMUM. CURRENT TRENDS ON RADAR DO SEEM TO VALIDATE THIS
FORECAST... BUT THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY DUE SIMPLY TO THE
COMPLEXITY OF THE ENTIRE WEATHER SYSTEM.
THE UPPER LOW IS SLOW TO MOVE TO THE EAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS... AND THE MODELS DO DIFFER SOMEWHAT ON DETAILS. HAVE TAKEN
MORE OF A BROAD-BRUSH APPROACH TO RAIN FORECASTS INTO THE WEEKEND
AS A RESULT. SURROUNDING OFFICES HAVE ALSO EXTENDED THEIR FLOOD
WATCHES THROUGH TONIGHT... AND WE HAVE DONE LIKEWISE... AND ADDED
THE THREE TEXAS COUNTIES THAT WERE NOT ALREADY IN THE WATCH...
HARDEMAN... FOARD... AND KNOX.
IN GENERAL... HAVE FAVORED THE ECMWF MODEL FOR THIS FORECAST. THIS
MODEL IS NOT ENCOURAGING REGARDING THE OVERALL EVOLUTION OF THE
UPPER LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED RAIN PATTERN. THE UPPER LOW NEVER
REALLY GOES AWAY OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS... AND LOW-LEVEL FLOW OFF
THE GULF ALSO NEVER REALLY ENDS IN THAT TIME. HOWEVER... THE
POSITION OF THE UPPER LOW DOES SUGGEST LOWER POPS IN THE LATTER
HALF OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THERE IS SOME HOPE BEYOND DAY 7...
WHICH IS NEXT WEDNESDAY... THAT THE UPPER RIDGE TYPICAL OF THIS
TIME OF YEAR WILL FINALLY BUILD INTO THE PLAINS... BRINGING MORE-
TYPICAL HEAT AND DRYNESS. WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE....
