.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 1122 PM CDT Sat Jul 5 2025

   - Daily rain and storm chances will continue through the next
     week with higher chances for the first half of the week.

   - Organized severe weather is not expected. However, storms
     will be capable of producing localized heavy rainfall and
     gusty winds.

   - Afternoon heat indices will creep up into the 95-100F range
     toward the latter half of next week, with a front possible by
     the following weekend.

.SHORT TERM...
(Through Sunday) Issued at 1122 PM CDT Sat Jul 5 2025

Pattern remains similar through Sunday with weak troughing remaining
across the local region coincident with a plume of deeper moisture.
Guidance does suggest slightly higher coverage of precip Sunday
afternoon compared to Saturday especially across NW AR. Temps remain
near persistence.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Saturday) Issued at 1122 PM CDT Sat Jul 5 2025

Upper ridge is forecast to remain centered over the western CONUS
through the upcoming week. The local area will remain on the
periphery of the ridge influence while also largely displaced from
the stronger flow across the central and northern states. Periodic
waves will pass to the north with the southern extent of each wave
likely increasing daily precip chances locally. Additionally the
continued presence of ample moisture and daytime heating amidst an
unstable and uncapped airmass will offer another source of daily
precip chances. This pattern appear likely to persist through the
work week. Temperatures and afternoon heat index values are forecast
to remain near seasonal normals. A slightly trend toward warmer and
drier conditions is possible by late in the work week.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 619 AM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025

Mid and high clouds will be common today, with potential for a
brief period of MVFR cigs late this morning/ early afternoon as
the mid layer redevelops... particularly in E OK. Isolated to
scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast this afternoon
and early evening, with the highest potential occurring across NE
OK and NW AR. PROB30 groups have been maintained for sites with
the highest chance of experiencing reduced vsbys and increased
winds from showers/ storms (20-02z). Outside of any direct impacts
from thunderstorms, predominantly VFR conditions are likely to
prevail for all sites through the period. Winds will generally be
light out of the south-southwest this afternoon.
