-- Changed Discussion --
(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.

(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... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1152 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Scattered mid and upper level clouds as well as a few showers will continue through the afternoon and evening, but the odds of precipitation at any given terminal are 10% or less. Winds will be breezy out of the south to southwest through this evening as well. Overnight tonight, a line of storms is expected to approach northeast OK along a boundary. As the boundary moves through a period of gusty northwest winds will occur for the northeast OK terminals before winds become lighter and out of the northeast. Additionally, a few showers and thunderstorms will form near the boundary. CIGs will develop behind it and come down to 2-3 kft. This boundary may just be reaching the terminals in northwest AR by 17-18Z tomorrow. For terminals south of the boundary, breezy south to southwest winds will continue with scattered mid and high clouds and low rain chances. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
