.NEAR TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 101 AM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025

As we start the new week, shifts in the weather pattern will be
subtle. A strong moisture plume continues over the I-35 corridor in
south central Oklahoma, yielding abundant cloud cover and isolated
showers/storms again this afternoon. We`ll see temperatures warm
into the low to mid 90s over the northwest half of Oklahoma where
more clearing is expected, while south central Oklahoma and north
Texas are more limited to the 80s.

A ridge is establishing itself over New Mexico putting us into
northwest flow. CAMs suggest a couple of potential complexes late
this afternoon and tonight. This afternoon would be storms
initiating off a front in southern Kansas, then pushing south into
Oklahoma through the evening (southward extent is uncertain, though
several models have storms reaching the I-40 corridor around mid
evening before dissipating). Then, overnight there is some potential
for a storm complex off the high plains to surge toward northwest
Oklahoma. Both rounds will carry some marginal severe risk
(primarily wind).

.SHORT TERM...
(Monday through Tuesday night)
Issued at 101 AM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025

Monday will largely be another repeat, with south central diurnal
storms and northern OK overnight MCS potential. Temperatures will
again tend to be at or just below normal (perhaps slightly lower
where cloud cover is more persistent and afternoon showers form).

Models are now showing a shortwave approaching on Tuesday, which
will enhance rain chances somewhat. Otherwise, the pattern continues
to look fairly similar.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 101 AM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025

PWATs go down as we enter into mid to late week. Reduced cloud cover
will allow for temperatures to gradually warm (though the forecast
does appear to be coming in slightly cooler than previous runs).
Northwest flow will favor nocturnal storm complexes approaching
northern Oklahoma.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 954 PM CDT Sat Jul 5 2025

Mainly VFR/MVFR ceilings this TAF period although a few sites
could see IFR ceilings early Sunday. Storms in the Panhandles this
evening are expected to remain west of any TAF sites.
Isolated/scattered showers and maybe a few storms will be possible
again Sunday across parts of central and southern OK and north TX
much like what occurred today. Additional storm development will
be possible late tomorrow afternoon and evening in southern KS and
northern OK. This activity is expected to move south Sunday
evening.
