AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
210 PM CDT SAT AUG 21 2010
.DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUALLY FORM ALONG A SLOWLY-MOVING FRONT FROM SOUTHWEST INTO
EAST-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON AND TOWARD THE RED RIVER EARLY
THIS EVENING. FOLLOWING THIS FRONT THERE ARE SLIGHTLY LOWER
TEMPERATURES. THE HEAT INDEX IS EXPECTED TO BE NO HIGHER THAN 105
SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA OR ADJACENT PARTS OF NORTH
TEXAS, SO THE HEAT ADVISORY WILL END AT 7 PM TODAY. AFTER TWO MORE
NOT-QUITE-AS-HOT DAYS, A STRONGER FRONT ON TUESDAY IS EXPECTED TO
BRING AT LEAST ONE DAY OF COOLER WEATHER AND A CHANCE FOR RAIN. A
WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL LIKELY HELP PUSH THE
FRONT THROUGH SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA LATER TUESDAY. HOWEVER, MODELS
HAVE RECENTLY FORECAST FRONTS STRONGER THAN THEY ACTUALLY HAVE
BEEN SEEN WITH THEIR ARRIVALS. FOR NOW THE FORECAST REFLECTS THIS
ONE DAY - WEDNESDAY - OF A COOLER AIR MASS. BUT THE UPPER RIDGE IS
FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE U.S.
THROUGH THE WEEK. TEMPERATURES MUCH ABOVE NORMAL ARE ONCE AGAIN
EXPECTED LATE IN THE WEEK.
