...New UPDATE, SHORT TERM...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 923 PM CDT Wed May 8 2024

Primarily to warm overnight lows at this time.

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Friday Night)
Issued at 923 PM CDT Wed May 8 2024

Warm and breezy this evening with fair skies for most. Of course
we still have the Tornado watch until 10p.m and changes will
require the removal of the headline if nothing else, but a few
hail stones on social media could change for us. We still have
some big towers looming over NE TX at this time with active
warnings for large hail and high wind. The HRRR is diminished in
coverage from earlier runs, so we will continue with current pops
and weather for now. More to come with new developing towers. /24/

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 339 PM CDT Wed May 8 2024

Quieter weather briefly returns through the weekend before
precipitation chances are reintroduced early next week. Quasi-
zonal flow aloft will allow for a mid-level trough to drift
eastward across the Four Corners into the Southern Plains. This
trough, in combination with ridging shifting further east across
the Mississippi River, will maintain enhanced southerly flow and
moisture through most of early next week. Precipitation chances
will remain through the same time period as a result. /16/

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 635 PM CDT Wed May 8 2024

Widespread haze originating from Mexico and Central America will
result in some instances of MVFR visibilities at the start of the
period. A complex of strong to severe convection is expected to
enter portions of Southeast Oklahoma and Northeast Texas around
09/02z before moving southeast affecting most TAF sites. The
storms should begin to rapidly weaken after midnight local time,
so convection was not mentioned at KMLU or KLFK. Low clouds are
expected to rapidly develop after the storms dissipate resulting
in widespread IFR/LIFR flight conditions. A slow improvement is
expected after daybreak Thursday, but VFR conditions should return
to most sites by 09/18z. More strong to severe thunderstorms are
anticipated to affect Southeast Oklahoma and East Texas,
potentially affecting KTYR, near the end of this TAF cycle.
