.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 311 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024

A nearly stationary MCV over Knox and Baylor counties will continue
to support the development of showers and thunderstorms, mainly
north and east of the MCV.  Although instability is rather weak,
slow storm movement and high PW values will result in a risk of
some flooding through the early evening. The area of heavy rain
currently over western north Texas is expected to gradually
build/shift eastward through the early evening and may impact
parts of south central Oklahoma. Otherwise, cloud debris from the
convection over northern Texas, will add some shade from the early
June sun angle. As the mid-level low/MCV moves slowly southeast
tonight into early Wednesday, modest height rises are expected
over the southern Plains. This will bring more sunshine for
Wednesday along with warmer afternoon temperatures.

We will allow the Flood Watch for parts of western north Texas
to expire at 7 pm.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 311 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024

The center of an upper level ridge to our west, will build eastward
through Friday.  This will bring mainly dry weather along with
hotter temperatures. The exception may be far northwest Oklahoma
Thursday evening near a cold front. A shortwave trough is forecast
to move across the southern Rockies and into the central Plains
on Saturday. Lift associated with this feature and a rather strong
low level jet Saturday evening/night, may result in scattered
thunderstorms. The storms should mainly be confined to the
northern third of Oklahoma.

After Saturday, the forecast is a little more unsure.  It`s possible
another disturbance may approach the area from the west early next
week.  This would likely bring better rain chances to northwest
Oklahoma.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 618 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024

Most of the showers in southwest Oklahoma and north Texas have
been dissipating, but there still is one shower at KSPS and others
are close enough that they may still a shower and associated MVFR
ceiling for an hour or so before the activity finally dissipates.

KLAW has been reporting 6SM visibility at best since 12Z and it
looks like that is likely a sensor issue as nearby KFSI has been
10SM all day. So will keep the TAF at generally VFR, although
with some potential for actual 5SM BR around sunrise Wednesday.
