(The rest of today ) Issued at 1028 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Surface obs and vis satellite indicate fog has dissipated for the most part, thus the advisory expired as scheduled at 10 AM. Earlier cluster of storms that was approaching western Osage Co has also dissipated, so removed POPs through 18z. Still potential for at least isolated storms this afternoon from north central into southeast OK. For now the POP configuration looks good. Updated products have been sent.

&& .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Friday) Issued at 133 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Some storms are expected to be ongoing Sunday morning across mainly NE OK. By afternoon, coverage looks more widely scattered with hints of a weak convective-induced vort max sliding overhead. Another shortwave trough is expected to slide across the central Plains Sunday/Sunday night, forcing a boundary down that will focus a relative max in storm chances across the north and east toward Monday morning. Outflow from these storms could fire more activity Monday afternoon and night. After a relative lull on Tuesday, a strong shortwave trough is expected to slide across the north-central US toward the middle of next week on the nose of a powerful cross-Pacific upper jet. This will force an initial frontal boundary into the area late Tuesday into Wednesday, with another reinforcing front pushing thru Thursday. With strong NW flow aloft in place over the Plains south of deep cyclonic flow centered over the Great Lakes, models are starting to suggest a period of active nighttime MCS activity beginning Friday night. We`ll just have to wait and see. Lacy && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 527 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Areas of fog have developed across much of NE OK and portions of NW AR this morning with flight impacts into LIFR levels at times. Expectation is for a slow improvement after sunrise becoming MVFR to VFR levels from mid to late morning. Any afternoon storms are expected to remain too isolated to warrant mention. Additional storms will attempt to move into the region late tonight however most guidance remains pessimistic on eastward extent and thus no mention at this time. Patchy light fog again possible tonight. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
