.AVIATION...
0Z TAFs - VFR conditions expected with clouds continuing to
decrease over the next hour or two and just some high clouds

a low chance that some reduction in visibility may occur Tuesday
morning at KSPS but right now confidence is too low for mention
in TAF.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 321 PM CDT Mon Jun 19 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Circulation around weak surface high pressure over northeast
Oklahoma, will keep a rather humid air mass over southern
Oklahoma and north Texas from advecting northward this afternoon
and tonight.

An upper ridge centered over the southwestern United States will
build eastward Tuesday. This will bring a return of 90 degree
temperatures which will last through the end of the work week.

Thunderstorms are expected to develop over the higher terrain
Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. A few of these storms may move
across northwest and west central Oklahoma during the late evening
or overnight hours.

Models differ on the timing, but around the end of the week, a
trough is expected to move across the northern half of the
Rockies. This system is expected to push a cold front through
the area, perhaps as early as Friday night Saturday morning. This
should bring a decent chance of scattered showers and
thunderstorms along with cooler temperatures.

Over the past 30-45 days, parts of central, west central,
and southwest Oklahoma & parts of western north Texas have
received little in the way of precipitation. Meanwhile, fuels
for grass and wildland fires are increasing. Therefore, breezy
southerly winds Wednesday into Friday may elevate fire weather
concerns, especially across western Oklahoma.
