261 FXUS64 KOUN 300626 AFDOUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 126 AM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 ...New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 119 AM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 - Marginal risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, with damaging wind gusts the main hazard. - Low (10-30%) chances for isolated to scattered showers and storms continue through the week into the weekend. - Humid conditions continue, with heat indices near 100 degrees most afternoons. && .NEAR TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 119 AM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 A cluster of thunderstorms continues to track southward across northern into central Oklahoma early this morning. Other convection is developing across southern Kansas but has so far not made much progress into our area. Storms may produce strong to marginally severe wind gusts over the next few hours, but expect an overall weakening trend to continue through the morning. A cold front tracking southward into the area could serve as the focus for additional development later this morning, though confidence is low in coverage and placement of storms along the boundary. Greater confidence exists in thunderstorm development this afternoon as the boundary works its way into central and southern Oklahoma during peak heating. The stronger storms will be capable of isolated damaging wind gusts this afternoon into this evening, along with heavy rainfall and localized flooding concerns due to relatively slow storm motions and PWATS approaching 2". Chances for storms appear much lower across northern Oklahoma this afternoon into the overnight period as more stable air works in behind the front. Ware && .SHORT TERM... (Tuesday through Wednesday night) Issued at 119 AM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 A few showers and storms may linger into Tuesday morning across far southern Oklahoma and western north Texas, with redevelopment possible Tuesday afternoon across these areas. Much of the rest of the area will likely be dry Tuesday behind the front, with highs in the mid to upper 80s along with lower humidities, a welcome reprieve from the hot and humid conditions we have seen recently. By Wednesday, the front will begin to dissipate as lee troughing across the high plains strengthens, returning southerly winds to the area. This will bring warmer temperatures and low chances for showers and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon. Ware && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Sunday) Issued at 119 AM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 The center of the upper ridge will reposition itself to our south and east mid to late week, allowing for low chances of showers and storms to continue through the end of week. A trough is forecast to cross the area by the weekend, which may bring more widespread shower and storm activity to the region, though models disagree somewhat on the strength and timing of this trough. Temperatures will remain near seasonal average through the end of the week, generally in the upper 80s to low 90s, then warm into the mid to upper 90s by the weekend. Ware && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1111 PM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 Storms over north central Oklahoma will affect areas around KPNC and perhaps down to KSWO tonight. A front will move south into the area from Kansas with scattered storms expected near the front on Monday. VFR conditions are expected in general apart from the thunderstorms. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
