460 FXUS64 KTSA 071507 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1007 AM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 ...New UPDATE... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1140 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 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 95-105F range toward the latter half of next week, with a weak cold front possible by next weekend. && .UPDATE... Issued at 945 AM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Isolated showers noted across eastern OK this morning will continue periodically. Most guidance suggests more robust convection this afternoon, with coverage favored along and southeast of I-44. Precip water values near 2 inches analyzed south of the Red River this morning continue to advect north, thus any more organized storms could produce localized torrential rainfall and potentially wet microbursts, but impactful weather should remain limited in coverage and duration. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Monday) Issued at 1140 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 Showers and storms will gradually end overnight with just isolated showers possibly lingering past sunrise Monday. The overall pattern remains similar however the remnant outflow boundary and weak influence from mid level troughing does raise a chance of afternoon showers and storms over a broader portion of the forecast area Monday afternoon through evening. Expect a similar decline in precip chances into the overnight hours Monday night. Isolated strong storms and heavy downpours remain the primary hazards. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 1140 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 A stronger wave continues to be shown moving across the central CONUS on Tuesday with the influence extending into the southern Plains on the periphery of the upper ridge. A trend upward in overall shower and storm coverage is expected across the local region along with a few more strong to severe storms through the afternoon and evening hours. Daily thunderstorm chances continue Wednesday through Friday though the overall coverage is forecast to trend downward while high temps warm a few degrees. Afternoon heat index values and corresponding heat risk will tend upward for mid to late week. Guidance continues to indicate the upper ridge weakens across the western CONUS allowing a weak cold front to push into the region toward next weekend. This scenario carries uncertainties largely associated with climatology but the trend remains in the guidance. Should this occur expect daily shower and storm chances to increase while temps remain near to slightly below seasonal normals. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 544 AM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Early morning isolated storms have developed near FYV in the past hour or so, making a slow eastward approach to that airport. Depending on where this development is located relative to FYV at TAF issuance time, a short TEMPO may be included at the start of the TAF to cover any potential impacts. Given much weaker development to the west of XNA and ROG, trends will have to be monitored as well for possible mention during the first hour or two of the TAF period at these sites. Other than the immediate thunderstorm potential impacts, mid afternoon into evening development remains expected, with highest coverage from SE OK into W AR. Will keep the existing PROB30s at all 8 sites for now, with both the HRRR and RRFS continuing to show development into the NE OK sites as well. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
