Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Norman OK 
231 PM CDT Sat Jul 5 2008 


Discussion...weak surface boundary which was evident across the 
forecast area earlier today has continued to weaken and has lifted NE of the 
area. With abundant sun and return to southerly low level flow temperatures 
are running above readings at this time yesterday. Although an 
isolated shower or thunderstorm can not be ruled out this evening...with 
lack of surface focus and no support aloft will leave forecast 
dry. Upper ridge center is expected to migrate eastward Sunday and 
Monday with dry hot conditions expected to continue. Weak short wave 
trough will move slowly eastward from The Rockies into the Central Plains 
early in the week with frontal boundary drifting southward toward the 
forecast area. Thus will keep trend of previous forecast with thunderstorm 
chances in the northwest Monday night and into most of the forecast area Tuesday. 
Will continue precipitation chances through midweek as surface boundary 
lingers in the area and weak upper trough moves little. By latter 
part of the week upper ridge begins to build in from the southeast with 
warmer temperatures and diminishing rain chances for the forecast area.
