Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Norman OK 
352 PM CDT Thursday Aug 7 2008 


Discussion... 
widespread shower activity ongoing in all but far northwestern 
sections of County Warning Area should leave behind plenty of boundaries which may 
help to initiate further showers/thunderstorms into this evening. 
Likely probability of precipitation are included overnight from northwest OK approaching the okc 
metropolitan area...with chance probability of precipitation basically everywhere else. Though convective 
showers maintained by solar heating will dissipate this 
evening...thunderstorm activity to north and west which has continued for 
several hours will finally have a chance to make it to northern OK 
as 500 mb flow becomes stronger and acquires a bit more of a northerly 
component. Appears that flow at middle levels will weaken again on 
Friday night...so probability of precipitation reduced to slight chance then. Rain chances 
return during the weekend as northwest flow regime continues. 


As a result of looking at 850 mb temperatures Friday/Sat and also 12z mav 
guidance...raised high temperature forecast as compared with the previous 
issuance. Much of western/central OK may stay in the low 90s or so 
for a couple of days...warming up by the beginning of next week. 
Much of western North Texas/SW OK should maintain highs in the 
middle/upper 90s through the next few days.
