062 FXUS64 KTSA 131050 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 550 AM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and Tonight) Issued at 250 AM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024 Warming trend continues today under mostly sunny skies and increasing southerly winds. Cold front extending from central MO through western KS by early evening will be a focus for storm development. These storms will spread east and south through the evening and may move into areas near the OK/KS border as they steadily weaken. Confidence remains low in both coverage and southward extent of any storms and most areas are likely to remain dry through tonight. && .LONG TERM... (Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 250 AM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024 The cold front / thunderstorm outflow boundary will likely slide into portions of NE OK / far NW AR on Friday before steadily losing definition. The boundary will likely pool a corridor of higher dewpoints and resultant higher afternoon heat index readings. Additionally, isolated storms are possible along the boundary but, again, confidence remains low in both storm development and overall coverage. Shortwave trough passes across the central CONUS late Saturday into early Sunday. The majority of storms associated with this feature are expected to be north of local region with a low chance extending across northeast OK. Upper ridge centers over the SE CONUS by Monday with strengthening southerly flow on its periphery drawing deeper moisture northward into the region. Isolated to scattered afternoon storms are expected both Monday and Tuesday and primarily across far E OK / NW AR. High temps will cool a few degrees from previous days but remain above mid June normals. && .AVIATION...

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 550 AM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024 Few to scattered mid and high clouds are forecast to develop/spread into the CWA during the day today. A slight chance of storms for Northeast Oklahoma and far Northwest Arkansas after 00z as storms try to develop along a frontal boundary stretched across Kansas. At this time will continue to keep a mention out of the TAFs due to limited coverage and uncertainty of convection reaching/impacting any one terminal. Thus...few to scattered high clouds are forecast overnight. Winds through the period increase out of the south to southwest during the day and become light again tonight. VFR conditions are forecast through the TAF period.
