.DISCUSSION...
CLOUDS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY ERODE FROM THE NW THIS MORNING WITH NW
HALF OF THE FA NOW MOSTLY CLEAR. SOME PATCHY FOG HAS DEVELOPED IN
NCNTRL OK BUT EXPECT THIS TO DISSIPATE FAIRLY QUICKLY AFTER
SUNRISE. ABUNDANT SUN AND A GRADUAL RETURN TO SW/S WINDS WILL
ALLOW FOR MUCH WARMER TEMPS TODAY.

WEEK. TEMPS WILL WARM INTO THE 70S IN MOST LOCATIONS ON MONDAY
WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY APPROACHING CRITICAL VALUES IN WESTERN
AREAS MONDAY AFTERNOON. ATTM WINDS FOR MONDAY APPEAR MARGINAL FOR
RED FLAG SO WILL HOLD OFF FOR NOW. A STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED
TO PUSH INTO THE REGION ON TUESDAY. VERY WARM TEMPS EXPECTED AHEAD
OF THE FRONT WITH READINGS FROM THE UPPER 70S TO THE MID 80S
ACROSS SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE FA AND FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL
AGAIN BE ELEVATED. STRONG NORTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE
FRONT...ESPECIALLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND WIND ADVISORY
MAY BE NECESSARY. WILL KEEP POPS LOW AND CONFINED TO MAINLY NRN OK
FOR TUESDAY NIGHT AS MOISTURE REMAINS LIMITED AND BEST LIFT WILL
REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA. MUCH COOLER TEMPS EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY
WITH THE STRONG NORTH WINDS GRADUALLY DIMINISHING.

NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL PERSIST WITH GENLY DRY WEATHER EXPECTED
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
