AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
336 AM CDT SAT JUL 19 2014

.DISCUSSION...
PERSISTENT LOW CLOUDS SHOULD FINALLY GIVE WAY TO A BIT OF SUNSHINE
TODAY... ALTHOUGH IN SOME AREAS IT MAY TAKE A WHILE TO OCCUR. MAY
ALSO BE SOME PATCHY FOG THIS MORNING... BUT IT SHOULD NOT LAST
LONG. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO RESPOND TO THE SUN AND CLIMB INTO THE
80S BY THIS AFTN. THIS IS STILL 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. A
MINOR WAVE SHOULD RESULT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE HIGH PLAINS OF SOUTHERN CO INTO NORTHERN NM THIS AFTN. THIS
WILL MAKE A RUN AT NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA THIS EVENING... BUT EXPECT
THEM TO DISSIPATE BEFORE GETTING INTO THE STATE. WILL NEED TO
WATCH... BUT FOR NOW WILL LEAVE FORECAST DRY TONIGHT.

MORE SEASONAL TEMPS WILL RETURN EARLY THIS WEEK AS UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS NORTH AND NORTHEAST OUT OVER THE PLAINS. MODELS STILL HAVE
SOME DIFFERING OPINIONS WITH REGARDS TO HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT THE
MID- WEEK SYSTEM WILL HAVE THIS FAR SOUTH. WILL CONT TO KEEP AT
LEAST A LOW CHANCE OF PRECIP TUE NIGHT INTO WED AS SFC FRONT MAKES
ITS WAY SOUTH INTO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND PERHAPS FARTHER IF THE
ECMWF IS RIGHT. WITH THIS POTENTIAL HAVE EXPANDED PRECIP CHANCES
FARTHER SOUTH AND WEST FOR WED.

TEMPS MAY APPROACH 100 DEGREES BY THE END OF THE WEEK HERE IN
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND WILL LIKELY TOP THE CENTURY MARK ACROSS PARTS
OF THE AREA. JUST BEYOND FORECAST MODELS ARE HINTING AT YET
ANOTHER STRONG SFC FRONT WITH COOL DOWN AND CHANCE OF RAIN. WILL
SEE.
