320 FXUS64 KTSA 111721 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1121 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1115 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 - Warming trend begins Tuesday, with much above normal temperatures Wednesday through Saturday. - Dry weather will persist until Saturday with breezy conditions Thursday through Saturday. - Shower and thunderstorm chances return this weekend continuing into early next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Through tonight) Issued at 1115 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 Winds will relax early this evening and fire weather conditions will improve. Overnight lows will trend trend nearer seasonal normals. A weak front will move into the region overnight with no impact other than a wind shift expected. && .LONG TERM... (Tomorrow through Tuesday) Issued at 1115 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 Warming trend continues on Wednesday with light winds in wake of the weak frontal passage. A more notable warm up occurs Thursday with temperatures well above seasonal normals persisting through Saturday. Winds will increase Thursday and remain breezy into the weekend. Increasing low level moisture will help maintain higher afternoon humidity values which will help limit fire weather concerns, however the recent killing freeze and curing fine fuels will be increasingly receptive to fire starts and breezy winds and warm temps could locally enhance spread rates. Guidance is in good agreement on a weak cold front passing late Saturday into Sunday in advance of a wave ejecting from the southwest CONUS into the Plains during the Sunday to Monday time frame. This scenario likely shunts the more unstable warm sector south of the local region but chances for showers and isolated to scattered storms continue to increase as confidence in the system timing grows. Temps will trend lower behind the weekend cold front and with the increasing cloud cover and rain chances. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1115 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 VFR conditions will prevail through the period, with scattered to broken high cloud deck. Sfc winds will continue to gust 25-30knots in many areas early in the forecast period, then begin to relax from NW-SE later this afternoon into the early evening while becoming more Southwest. Another period of LLWS is forecast early tonight at the AR and KMLC terminals, but should relax after 06z while sfc winds trending more light and variable into Wed morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
