Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 216 PM CDT Sun Jul 2 2017 .DISCUSSION... Rain chances and location of said rain continues to be main challenge moving forward the next several days. MCV moving across southwest toward central Oklahoma expected to be mechanism for development of scattered convection across portions of central into southeast Oklahoma this afternoon and evening. Sufficient instability exists for a few marginally severe storms, but should be more multicell and pulse as wind shear remains very weak. As we move through the next several days it will be tough to really nail down timing and locations, much like today will likely be driven by small scale features that will not show themselves on scales that models are able to get a handle on. Therefore will have to cont to follow the signals the models do pick up on. The first of which is a minor shortwave that drop southeast out of the high plains of CO overnight. This will aid in development of complex of storms that may move back into western Oklahoma overnight and approach central Oklahoma toward morning. This feature then continue to drift south/southeast keeping better rain chances in areas near and northeast of the OKC metro Tuesday. Next feature will be shortwave that drops south through Plains Tuesday night into Wednesday, which may provide one more day with chance of rain come Wednesday. After this we begin to come under the influence of upper ridge that build north and northeast into central Rockies into the central Plains. This will likely shut off the better rain chances and leave us with hot and muggy weather by the end of the week into next weekend. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
