299 FXUS64 KTSA 281917 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 217 PM CDT Tue May 28 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Through tonight) Issued at 216 PM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Bulk of shower and storm activity gas remained to the west this afternoon, though some activity is noted across parts of NE OK. Rain and storm chances will continue tonight with any weak waves traversing the area in W-NW flow aloft. Slightly higher PoPs will be focused across the western portion of the CWA. && .LONG TERM... (Tomorrow through Tuesday) Issued at 216 PM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Deep gulf moisture will continue to feed into the area through Friday while the upper pattern remains active. As is often seen, model spread regarding timing and placement of an any individual upper wave problematic, so including PoPs everywhere in most if not all periods of the forecast cycle is reasonable given the upper pattern. At this time, best chances for rain/storms appear to be late Thursday night into Friday as a more notable upper wave moves through. Additional, but lower chances for rain and storms will continue through the weekend and into next week as little overall change in the upper pattern is expected. Widespread severe weather is not expected over the next several days, though an isolated strong to marginally severe storm is possible. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1213 PM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Outside of any influence from showers/ storms, VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the forecast period for all TAF sites. TEMPO groups were maintained through ~21z for NE OK/ NW AR sites for scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. For MLC & FSM (and beyond 21z elsewhere) confidence remains too low to mention precip, but will amend if needed. Another opportunity for precip/ reduced cigs arrives early tomorrow morning through the end of the forecast period, and have introduced PROB30 groups for all sites. Sfc winds are mostly expected to remain under 10 kts through the period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
