806 FXUS64 KTSA 271849 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 149 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 155 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 - Hot and humid conditions will continue for the next week with heat indices of 95-102 F across the area. - Daily scattered showers and storms expected much of the next week with locally heavy rains and downburst winds the primary hazards. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight) Issued at 155 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 Scattered storms ongoing this afternoon are likely to persist well into the evening. Strong instability is in place along and south of Interstate 44 with steep low level lapse rates and deep moist profiles. Wet downbursts are likely with the strongest storms. Slow storm motions and intense rainfall rates will allow for locally heavy rains. Uncertainty remain in how long into the overnight hours storms can continue to develop but the moist profiles with minimal overnight capping may allow storms to persist into the overnight hours. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Friday) Issued at 155 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 Near persistent pattern continues Saturday and Sunday with the plume of deep moisture remaining across the local area supporting good coverage of afternoon showers and storms. Expect daily heat index values to remain near seasonal normals. Weak cold front may move into the region on Monday and pushing slowly southward through Tuesday. The front would mark a focused corridor of higher showers and storms and may usher in slightly drier air across northern locations but this scenario remains uncertain. The pattern shows no large changes through late next week and the forecast will continue with daily shower and thunderstorm chances with temperatures near seasonal normals. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1235 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 Periodic scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast to impact E OK and NW AR through much of the forecast period. However, VFR conditions are likely to persist for all sites outside of any direct thunderstorm impacts. Storms may produce heavy rainfall and gusty winds, with locally reduced vsbys. PROB30s have been maintained for all sites this afternoon, but amendments may be required if any stronger cell appears more likely to directly affect any site. A lull in precip is possible this evening and overnight before additional showers/ thunderstorms develop tomorrow morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
