Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 306 AM CDT Sun Jun 4 2017 .DISCUSSION... Upper low will begin to ever so slowly translate south and southeast by late today and tonight. Before this occurs will see another day with showers and thunderstorms developing and drifting slowly around the low. Remains difficult to determine best locations for rain to develop, but better chances should shift south through the day into tonight. Main impacts will again be isolated heavy rainfall, with highest chances across southern half of Oklahoma into north Texas this afternoon into this evening. Some lingering precip chances across the south/southeast on Monday, otherwise most of the area will be dry with warmer temps. As we go through the upcoming week we get into a north/northwest flow regime. Models are a bit more aggressive this morning with the potential for high plains activity making daily runs at/into mainly western portions of Oklahoma. Perhaps a bit stronger signal for complex of storms affecting more of the area Thursday night into Friday. Highs climbing back into the 90s across parts of the area by next weekend. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
