.SHORT TERM...
(Through Tonight)
Issued at 146 PM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025

Persistent conditions continue through tonight. Highs this
afternoon will top out in the low to mid 90s with heat index
values around 100 degrees in most locations. Scattered shower and
storm development expected over the next couple of hours across
parts of southeast Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Brief downpours
and some gusty winds could accompany any storms this afternoon.
Coverage should be a little more than yesterday, but still widely
scattered in nature. Storms should dissipate with the loss of
daytime heating toward sunset. The rest of the night will be mild
and dry area wide.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Tuesday)
Issued at 146 PM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025

The forecast will remain consistent through the rest of the
period. More isolated to widely scattered thunderstorm development
within the higher terrain on Wednesday afternoon similar to the
previous few days. After that, the ridge begins to weaken and
flatten somewhat over the eastern CONUS which will allow some
thunderstorm activity to become possible across the northern
portions of the forecast area in the late afternoon and evening
hours through the end of the week. Several waves moving across the
northern state could push a weak backdoor frontal boundary into
the region by late in the weekend toward early next week. If this
occurs, this would provide more of a focus for more widespread
storm development, but model uncertainty remains high at this
time.

Temperatures will mostly run near seasonal average with heat index
values ranging from 95 to 105 across the region through the
period. Any exception would be with any shower/storm that moves
over a location during the afternoon could provide a short term
relief.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 620 PM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025

Any lingering ongoing showers should weaken and dissipate after
sunset with the loss of daytime heating. Few to scattered mid and
high clouds will become mainly few high clouds this evening and
remain common into Wednesday morning. During the afternoon hours
Wednesday, scattered mid clouds are forecast to develop once
again. Isolated showers/storms are also forecast again Wednesday
afternoon, though will continue to keep TAFs dry at this time due
to limited coverage and uncertainty of impacting any one terminal.
Southerly winds are forecast through the period with the
exception of KFSM where an easterly wind develops for the
overnight/morning period. VFR conditions are anticipated through
the TAF period.
