DISCUSSION...
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CONTINUES TO SLOWLY TRACK ACROSS SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING...WITH IMPRESSIVE RAINFALL RATES MEASURED
WITHIN AN AIRMASS CONSISTING OF 2+ INCH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES. THE PRECIP WILL CONTINUE ITS SLOW ADVANCE EASTWARD THROUGH
THE DAY...WITH THE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL CONTRIBUTING TO A CONTINUED
FLOODING RISK. OUTSIDE OF THE HEAVIER PRECIP AXIS THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED. UNSEASONABLY COOL HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE TODAY.

PREVAILING NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT AND PERSISTENT SFC RIDGING THROUGH
THE AREA WILL MAINTAIN BELOW NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A
WEAK WAVE LOOKS TO PASS OVERHEAD TOMORROW W/ LIGHT QPF SIGNALS
SHOWN IN VARIOUS DATA. HOWEVER THIS MAY ALSO BE NOTHING MORE THAN
HEAVY FOG TOMORROW MORNING WHICH IS POSSIBLE SHOULD CLOUD COVER
DIMINISH SUFFICIENTLY. EITHER WAY PRECIP CHANCES WILL REMAIN LOW
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

HEIGHTS GRADUALLY RISE INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK AND SFC
RIDGING WEAKENS ALLOWING MORE SEASONABLE TEMPS TO RETURN
BRIEFLY...BEFORE THE NEXT COLD FRONT ARRIVES WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY. THIS WILL INCREASE PRECIP CHANCES AND LIKELY PUSH TEMPS
BACK BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE WEEK.
