AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
419 AM CDT WED JUL 23 2014

.DISCUSSION...
HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TODAY...AND WE WILL RETAIN THE
EXISTING HEAT ADVISORY...WHICH CURRENTLY EXPIRES AT 7 PM THIS
EVENING. TOMORROW AND FRIDAY WILL HAVE SLIGHTLY HIGHER
TEMPERATURES...BUT LOWER DEW POINTS...THAN TODAY. CONDITIONS WILL
BE MARGINAL FOR A CONTINUED HEAT ADVISORY TOMORROW...BUT AFTERNOON
HEAT INDICES WILL BE WELL WITHIN ADVISORY CRITERIA ON FRIDAY.
HOWEVER...WE MAY NOT MEET THE 48-HOUR PERSISTENCE CRITERIA ON
FRIDAY IF THURSDAY IS COOLER THAN EXPECTED. WILL DEFER TO LATER
SHIFTS TO DECIDE ON WHETHER AN EXTENSION TO THE HEAT ADVISORY IS
APPROPRIATE.

A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHWEST INTO OKLAHOMA
TODAY...BRINGING A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR STORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT. ANY
STORMS THAT DO FORM WILL LIKELY BE NEAR OR SOUTHEAST OF I-44.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...FRIDAY WILL BE QUITE HOT AS SOUTHWEST LOW-
LEVEL FLOW BECOMES ESTABLISHED OVER THE REGION...IN ADVANCE OF A
DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM TO OUR WEST AND NORTHWEST.

A STRONGER FRONT WILL ARRIVE LATE IN THE WEEKEND...BRINGING A
BREAK FROM THE HEAT...AND ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. MODELS SUGGEST THAT A FAIRLY HIGH CHANCE
FOR RAIN WILL ARRIVE AROUND THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...BUT THAT IS
BEYOND THE RANGE OF THIS FORECAST.
