668 FXUS64 KOUN 061748 AFDOUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 1248 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1227 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 - Low to moderate rain/thunderstorm chances continue through the week. - Hot and humid conditions later this week. && .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). Day && .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. Day && .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. Day && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1227 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 Our terminals east and south of the I-44 corridor should remain under MVFR category between 18-21Z as ceilings gradually rise while eroding stratus will maintain VFR conditions across our remaining terminals. There is a low probability for current TSRA coming up from northern TX to affect terminals KSPS & KDUA so have a PROB30 in place through 22Z. Also low probability for storms coming down off the Central High Plains later this evening so also have PROB30 at our northernmost terminals KWWR, KPNC, and KSWO through 01Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
