AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
853 PM CDT WED APR 9 2003

WILL ONLY MAKE SOME MINOR CHANGES TO FORECAST.  LIGHT WINDS AND 
CLEAR SKIES OVER EASTERN PART OF THE STATE TONIGHT SHOULD ALLOW
TEMPS TO FALL TO AROUND FREEZING BY MORNING (ROUGHLY HWY-81 AND 
EAST).  HOWEVER...DURATION OF FREEZING TEMPS WILL NOT BE AS
LONG AS THIS MORNING.  LIGHT TO MODERATE BREEZE ACROSS WESTERN
PARTS WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM FALLING AS MUCH.  WILL SEND UPDATED
ZFP OUT LATER TO REMOVE TEMPORAL WORDING.

NOT TOO MUCH IN THE WAY OF CHANGES THIS AFTN FROM MORNING FORECAST. 
AS SFC RIDGE SHIFTS EAST...S/SE LOW LEVEL FLOW BEGINS TO TAKE HOLD 
TONIGHT AND CONTS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WILL SEE GRADUAL WARMING 
TREND AS WELL. THERE WILL BE SOME FIRE WX CONCERNS OVER THE 
WEEKEND...ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAY ACROSS WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA 
AS TEMPS WARM INTO THE 80S WITH INCREASING SOUTH WINDS. 

OTHERWISE...QUIET WX EXPECTED INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK BEFORE NEXT UPPER 
WAVE TAKES SHAPE TO OUR WEST. THERE IS SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ON TIMING OF SYSTEM MOVING EAST ACROSS AREA. 
WILL HEDGE THINGS SLIGHTLY SLOWER WITH LINGERING POPS INTO WED AND 
SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS TOWARD END OF FORECAST PERIOD.
