This is the new area forecast discussion from the National Weather Service, Norman

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
1027 AM CDT FRI MAR 15 2013

.DISCUSSION…
MOST TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING SEVERAL DEGREES BEHIND THE
FORECAST…BUT IT IS LIKELY THAT THEY WILL CATCH UP WITHIN THE
NEXT HOUR OR TWO. MOST OF OUR FORECAST AREA IS ABOUT 5 TO 10
DEGREES WARMER THAN 24 HOURS AGO…AND THIS PLUS THE LATEST MODEL
GUIDANCE SEEMS TO SUPPORT OUR CURRENT FORECAST.

FIRE WEATHER WILL BE A PROBLEM THIS AFTERNOON. IT APPEARS THAT OUR
TEXAS COUNTIES WILL SEE WINDS OF ABOUT 15 MPH AT THE 20-FT
LEVEL…WHICH IS SHORT OF RED FLAG CRITERIA…BUT RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES WEST OF WICHITA FALLS AND ARCHER CITY WILL BE ABOUT 15
TO 20 PERCENT. WITH TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 80S…FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS WILL BE CHALLENGING.

NO FORECAST CHANGES ARE PLANNED FOR THIS MORNING.
