Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Norman OK 
426 am CDT sun Jul 20 2008 


Discussion...mid/high clouds across north central OK this morning 
in vicinity of upper shear axis. Some light elevated echoes 
showing up on area radars but doesn't appear that much more than a 
few sprinkles is reaching the ground. With upper ridge building 
over the area will leave forecast dry for today although an 
isolated shower/thunderstorm can not be ruled out for later today in 
northern OK in the vicinity of the weakening shear axis. Upper 
ridge will remain the dominant weather feature through the 
remainder of the extended period. A weak cold front will approach northestern 
OK late Tuesday/Wednesday as a short wave drops southeastward through the upper 
Midwest. Think that thunderstorms associated with this will generally remain 
northeast of the forecast area as upper ridge persists over OK. Also tropical 
wave over the western Caribbean prognosticated to move toward far south 
Texas late in the period. It appears any effects from this system will 
remain south of the forecast area. Thus dry and very warm weather expected to 
prevail through the period.
