Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Norman OK 
309 am CDT Sat Jul 5 2008 


Discussion... 
upper high will move slowly east from the S rockies to the S plains 
by Sunday resulting in dry period with seasonably hot days and 
mild to warm nights into early next week. Upper trough will move 
into west states Sunday and into High Plains by Monday... eventually 
remaining over the S plains as a weakness in the subtropical ridge 
that may linger over or near the area Tuesday through Thursday. 
This and a weak front sagging into the area... providing weak low- 
level convergence... is enough to maintain low chances of convection 
during this time along with slightly lower temperatures. Middle- 
tropospheric high prognosticated to build west from the Atlantic late 
next week... with high center relocating to the central Gulf 
Coast area by end of week per operational GFS with support from 
ensemble mean. Stronger ridging westward into Texas/OK suggests 
return to warmer/drier by late week.
