A few isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon northwest of Interstate 44 as a weak cold front approaches from the north. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Thursday) Issued at 1237 AM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025 Showers and thunderstorms will become more likely tonight through the weekend with the aforementioned frontal boundary in the area and a weak upper trough moving across the area. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible in some places with slow moving storms, along with the potential for a few marginally severe storms, with damaging winds being the main severe weather threat. Temperatures will be below normal over the weekend due to all the clouds and rain. Shower and storm coverage will diminish next week, but not completely go away. Added sunshine will push temperatures back up closer to the seasonal averages. Another frontal boundary will approach the area by Wednesday or Thursday leading to another uptick in shower and storm coverage and a slight drop in temperatures. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1237 AM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025 VFR conditions should prevail through the forecast period. Increased south/southwest winds slightly from previous forecast, with occasional to frequent 20 to 25 knot gusts beginning as early as mid-morning and through the afternoon at most TAF sites. Otherwise, anticipate few to scattered mid-level and upper-level clouds through the period. An isolated shower or storm could develop near the OK/KS border late in the period. Decided to include a PROB30 group at BVO reflecting this chance. Better rain and thunderstorm chances are expected beyond this TAF period. Mejia && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
