183 FXUS64 KTSA 101653 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1153 AM CDT Mon Jun 10 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of today ) Issued at 1008 AM CDT Mon Jun 10 2024 A few lingering showers across far southeast OK will wind down in the next couple of hours as elevated forcing moves out of the area. Otherwise, scattered clouds, light winds, and mild temperatures will prevail for the remainder of the day. Highs will max out in the low to mid 80s with dew points in the 50s to 60s. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Sunday) Issued at 332 AM CDT Mon Jun 10 2024 The cooler conditions are forecast to continue into Tuesday before surface high pressure exits to the east/northeast. In the wake of the departing high pressure...a weak shortwave is progged to drop southeast across the Southern Plains Tuesday into Wednesday. With influence of high pressure not expected to exit until Tuesday afternoon/evening...the track of the weak shortwave is progged to now be more southwest of the CWA. Thus...shower/storm chances now look to remain west and southwest of the CWA into Wednesday. In response...the temperature warming trend is now forecast to begin Wednesday for the CWA and continue into the weekend. Warm and more humid conditions increase late week and the weekend with heat index values of mid 90s to around 100 deg as a ridge of high pressure builds over the Southern Plains. This ridge should keep a shortwave lifting out of the Desert Southwest during the weekend to the northwest of the CWA. Thus...no significant precip chances are in the forecast through the weekend. One thing to note...is just outside of this forecast package...latest extended model solutions indicate an area of low pressure lifting northward from the Gulf into the region for early next week. This will be something to monitor over the coming week. && .AVIATION...
