DISCUSSION...
PER SPC MESO ANALYSIS...AXIS OF HIGH PWS EXTENDS FROM THE
NORTHERN TEXAS COAST INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA. RATHER LARGE AREA
OF RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDER IS LOCATED OVER WESTERN KANSAS
AND THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE...WHICH IS GENERALLY EAST OF A 7H LOW.
FARTHER SOUTH...SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE MOVING EAST/SOUTHEAST WITHIN AN AREA OF WEAK/MODERATE WAA.
MODELS INDICATE SOME DRYING AT MID-LEVEL THIS MORNING ACROSS
SOUTHWEST PARTS OF THE FA. THIS MAY SHIFT THE CURRENT AREA OF
RAIN TO THE EAST.  HOWEVER...A SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE
INTO SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA/NORTH TEXAS LATER THIS AFTERNOON WHICH
WILL INCREASE CHANCES FOR STORMS.

WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL IS STILL EXPECTED TO FALL IN NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. OVERNIGHT...THE FOCUS WILL
SHIFT EASTWARD INTO CENTRAL AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA. THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH HAS BEEN EXTENDED EAST AND SOUTHEAST AND WILL RUN UNTIL 12Z
THURSDAY FOR COUNTIES EAST OF HWY 81.

ON THURSDAY...MID-LEVEL DRYING IS EXPECTED AS THE 7H TROUGH AXIS
SHIFTS EAST OF THE FA. BY THURSDAY EVENING...MOST AREAS WILL BE
DRY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SLIGHT CHANCES OF SHOWERS IN SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA.

OVER THE WEEKEND...AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE SOUTHERN
AND CENTRAL ROCKIES. THIS SHOULD BRING MAINLY DRY WEATHER WITH
AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S.  ANOTHER SYSTEM
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL US AROUND WEDNESDAY.  THIS MAY BRING
ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS TO AT LEAST NORTHERN OKLAHOMA.
