.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of tonight)
Issued at 839 PM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024

Scattered strong to severe storms ongoing across far E OK into NW
AR will continue to steadily spread eastward through the evening.
A slow but steady downward trend in both intensity and coverage is
expected after the next few hours as the boundary layer
stabilizes. Until then a continued tornadic risk will remain with
the ongoing tornado watch gradually being cleared from west to
east. Updated forecasts will capture latest storm coverage trends
and watch configuration.

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Sunday)
Issued at 143 PM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024

After an active last few days, the early part of the work week
will provide a brief break, with surface high pressure bringing
dry weather into much of Tuesday. A storm system in the Northern
Plains toward the middle of the week will drag a front southward
toward the Oklahoma/Kansas border, leading to low shower and
thunderstorm chances on Wednesday. More widespread shower and
thunderstorm chances will arrive Thursday along with a cold front
that is expected to move through the area. Both severe weather and
heavy rain/flooding threats will exist with the Thursday and
Thursday night storms. Low shower and thunderstorm chances will
continue into early next weekend, with a more substantial system
expected toward the end of next weekend along with higher storm
chances.
