.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 226 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024

Scattered thunderstorms are possible this evening across the
northern half of Oklahoma. A few stronger storms could produce
damaging wind gusts, as downdraft CAPE will be over 1400 J/kg.
Storm intensity will weaken into the evening, and should be out of
the area by midnight or shortly after. A weak frontal boundary
will move in beginning early tomorrow morning, and will continue
through the area during the afternoon. This boundary is expected
to stall south and east of I-44, where severe storms along the
boundary are possible. Thermodynamic profiles tomorrow afternoon
will support large hail and damaging winds with any stronger storm
that develops. Head headlines will also continue tomorrow
afternoon across the whole area. An excessive heat warning will be
in effect starting at 11 am until 9 pm as there is increased
confidence in heat indices over 110 F for southern and
southwestern Oklahoma and western north Texas. A heat advisory is
also in effect for for the rest of the area during the same
timeframe.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 226 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024

Heat headlines will likely be needed through the remainder of the
week and into the weekend. There may be some brief relief of the
heat during the latter portions of the weekend, but temperatures
will quickly bounce back up to upper 90s and low 100s. Daily low
chances of thunderstorms are possible through the weekend, mainly
across the northern half of the area. Looking ahead to next week,
there is no signal for longer duration relief from the heat that
we have been getting recently as we will be sitting under a mid-
level ridge.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 558 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024

Some storms are near Ponca City and could be affecting this TAF
site at the beginning of the period. Otherwise, Isolated/widely
scattered storms will be possible this evening but chances are too
low at most locations along and north of I-40 for current mention
in TAF. Will continue to monitor radar for any storms approaching
TAF sites this evening. Otherwise, VFR ceilings expected this TAF
period. Winds will generally be southerly with winds shifting
towards the NE Wednesday as an outflow boundary/backdoor front
moves across parts of the area.
