280 FXUS64 KTSA 090549 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1249 AM CDT Sun Jun 9 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Through tonight ) Issued at 228 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 A few showers occurring across NE OK this afternoon ahead of a cold front that is currently across S KS. Very warm and humid afternoon in progress with low to mid 90s across much of E OK and sfc dewpoints in the low to mid 70s. Shower and storm chances will mainly remain across the north overnight in the vicinity of the boundary as an upper wave moves across KS. Boundary will get a push into the area later tonight, but level of convective reinforcement will likely determine how far south it gets into the area tonight. At this time will keep lower end PoPs roughly along and north of highway 412. && .LONG TERM... (Tomorrow through Saturday) Issued at 228 PM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Cold front to make its way through the area Sunday, with cooler temps and drier air filtering in behind the boundary. Slightly higher shower and thunder chances will translate south with boundary trough the day, but will keep low PoPs approximately i-40 and south Sunday night. Sfc ridge axis settles across the midwest early next week which will keep the drier air across the area for a few days, while keeping the better rain chances west and southwest of the area. Another upper wave move across the area Tuesday into Wednesday, and will include lower end PoPs as low level moisture increases on southerly winds ahead of this feature. Dry, but warmer conditions are expected for the latter portion of the week as upper ridging appears sufficient enough to keep showers and storms north of the forecast area. && .AVIATION...
