AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
254 PM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

.DISCUSSION...

ANOTHER HOT AND HUMID DAY FOR THIS FIRST DAY OF ASTRONOMICAL
SUMMER. ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MAINLY
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...WITH THE VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWING AN
ENHANCED CU FIELD...AND THE LOCAL RADAR MOSAIC SHOWING A FEW
SHOWERS ALREADY BEGINNING TO DEVELOP NEAR THAT AREA. A WEAKNESS IN
THE UPPER RIDGE WILL PERSIST ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND FAR
EASTERN OKLAHOMA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...ALLOWING ISOLATED
DIURNAL THUNDERSTORMS TO BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN
AREAS THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. AFTER THAT TIME...THE
RIDGE SHOULD REASSERT ITSELF...MAKING DIURNAL STORM DEVELOPMENT
LESS LIKELY...AND CERTAINLY BELOW MENTIONABLE LEVELS IN AN
EXTENDED FORECAST. THE BUILDING RIDGE WILL LIKELY LEAD TO THE
HOTTEST TEMPERATURES OF THE YEAR SO FAR...WITH AREAS APPROACHING
THE UPPER 90S WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. WE MAY FLIRT WITH HEAT
HEADLINE THRESHOLDS AS WELL. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION
LATE NEXT WEEK...WHICH COULD PROVIDE A SMALL MEASURE OF RELIEF TO
PARTS OF OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS BY FRIDAY.
