Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 252 PM CDT Sat Jul 2 2022 ...New LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday) Issued at 114 PM CDT Sat Jul 2 2022 Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop later this afternoon along a remnant surface boundary/outflow across northern and west central OK. Enough instability should support some occasional robust updrafts but little deep shear will likely keep organization to a minimum. Strong wind gusts will be the main threat. It's unclear how long this activity will persist through tonight. Lack of sufficient lift and no significant LLJ will be a problem but if a cluster can develop with an attendant cold pool they might make it into the early morning hours. Have pulled mentionable PoPs further south through tonight to account for the aforementioned possibility. For tomorrow, the southern half of the FA may be favored for diurnal moist convection as tropical "debris" lifts northward across west central TX. Otherwise, it will continue to become muggier and warmer for most of the area under the subtropical ridge. A heat advisory may be needed near the Red River valley counties where heat index will rise above 105. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through next Friday) Issued at 251 PM CDT Sat Jul 2 2022 With the diminishing precipitation chances through Sunday, the weather will remain mostly dry Sunday night through early next week. An upper level ridge will continue to shift westward from the southeast US to over the region, which will continue to support dry and above seasonable average conditions. Temperatures will gradually increase into next week, with widespread 100s for high temperatures expected. Heat will continue being an increasing concern, with dewpoints continuing in the 60s and a gradual increase into the 70s across southeastern and central Oklahoma. Precipitation chances this next week continue to be small, with the best chance still appearing to be Wednesday night into Thursday in far northern Oklahoma. A shortwave develops within the ridging upper level pattern, which could be enough to develop some showers and thunderstorms. These storms will mainly be confined to Kansas, however there is a slight chance that they might extend down into northern Oklahoma. There may be some additional perturbations that develop within the ridging flow through the rest of the week with low chances of precip, however conditions will likely remain dry across the region. Zwink && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 114 PM CDT Sat Jul 2 2022 Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop later this afternoon, and perhaps continue through this evening, mainly across northern and west central OK. Have included PROB30 and tempos to account for this at WWR and PNC respectively. They could near CSM also. Cigs will remain VFR but visby could drop into MVFR under heavy downpours. Winds will generally remain light and southeasterly. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
