672 FXUS64 KTSA 131933 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 233 PM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Through tonight ) Issued at 208 PM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024 Hot and humid conditions have arrived, with a few spots reporting HI of 100-102. Frontal boundary continues to push through northern/central KS, where sfc temps have reached 100-105. Expect convection to expand along this boundary through the afternoon and eventually propagate southward time. Overall potential for this to reach northeast OK remains fairly low, but non-zero. && .LONG TERM... (Tomorrow through Thursday) Issued at 208 PM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024 Weakening frontal boundary is forecast to eventually push into far northeast OK and northwest AR Friday afternoon. Higher dew points are likely to pool near the frontal zone, with heat indices reaching 100-105 through a large portion of northeast OK. The enhanced moisture could also result in an isolated storm or two Friday afternoon/evening. By Saturday the front will have basically washed out with a bit lower dew points keeping HI values down a few degrees. A shortwave moving across the Central Plains late Saturday into Sunday will enhance storm coverage to our north during that period, with a few potentially drifting into far northern areas. Once this moves east, deeper moisture should surge north as the upper ridge moves east. At least isolated afternoon and evening a few degrees storms expected along with few degrees of cooling, but with higher humidity. Ridge is expected to expand back to the west later in the week. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1218 PM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024 VFR conditions are expected through the forecast period for all sites. Other than some afternoon cumulus, there is a very low chance of a shower or thunderstorm in NE OK later this evening. However, did not mention in TAFs due to low probability of occurring. Either way, thunderstorm cloud debris will probably move into the area this evening & early overnight... providing FEW to SCT mid/ high level clouds. Breezy SW winds this afternoon become light this evening & overnight. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
