983 FXUS64 KTSA 251718 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1218 PM CDT Wed Jun 25 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 146 PM CDT Mon Jun 24 2025 - Hot and humid conditions will prevail for the next week with daily heat indices of 95-105 F across the area. - Daily isolated to scattered showers and storms likely much of this week. - Storm coverage may increase early next week. && .UPDATE... Issued at 1000 AM CDT Wed Jun 25 2025 Surface high continues across the Deep South with southerly low level flow over the CWA. Area remains on the edge of summertime high pressure ridge centered over the Tennessee Valley. Isolated, diurnal convection expected south of I-44 this afternoon in moderately unstable airmass. Weak deep layer shear will promote strong downdrafts with more robust updrafts. Will need to monitor high temperatures as some locations yesterday exceeded forecast values by a couple of degrees. && .SHORT TERM... (Today) Issued at 240 AM CDT Wed Jun 25 2025 Conditions today will largely mimic what we saw yesterday. Seasonable temperatures and humidity will yield HI in the 90s to around 100 degrees in most locations. Isolated, largely terrain- driven convection is expected once again, perhaps with slightly greater coverage and a bit farther to the west. Again though, most locations remain dry, and any storms will dissipate quickly after sunset. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Tuesday) Issued at 240 AM CDT Wed Jun 25 2025 Subtle pattern shift Thursday and Friday will focus storm chances more toward areas near the OK/KS border as some flattening of the ridge occurs. This may allow some influence of the large plume of subtropical Pacific moisture over the high plains to push farther southeast. By early next week a series of waves moving across the northern sates may push a backdoor cold front toward our region with the net result being higher precip chances. Temperature-wise, conditions will not change much the next few days, possibly trending up slightly this weekend but remaining below heat advisory levels in all likelihood. The arrival of the backdoor front may cool things down a tad next week. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1214 PM CDT Wed Jun 25 2025 VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period. Southerly winds will be gusty this afternoon then diminish with sunset. Winds on Thu expected to be lighter as surface gradient weakens. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
