Discussion... 
showers and thunderstorms that developed over central Oklahoma 
earlier this morning have been making slow progress to the 
east and into the western portions of the tsa County Warning Area. This activity 
is partially the result of isentropic lift along the 305k surface 
and that is expected to weaken over the next several hours. Would 
expect the showers and thunderstorms to persist into the early 
afternoon before diminishing. 


Have and will continue to make adjustments to the grids to better 
reflect latest trends and model data. Have lowered maximum temperatures 
for today a few degrees area-wide due to the extensive cloud cover 
and convective activity.
