SPOTTER ACTIVATION NOT EXPECTED. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... AS THE UPPER LOW OVER THE HIGH PLAINS DRIFTS SOUTH THE NEXT FEW DAYS A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SET UP WEST TO EAST ACROSS OUR REGION. THIS WILL LIKELY GENERATE THUNDERSTORMS FROM TIME TO TIME OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. WIND FIELDS WILL BE RELATIVELY BENIGN SO THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE PRIMARY FOCUS FOR STORMS COULD SHIFT SOUTH AND WEST OF OUR AREA SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. WWW.SRH.NOAA.GOV/TULSA CONTAINS ADDITIONAL TABULAR AND GRAPHICAL INFORMATION.
