.SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 133 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024

NW flow prevails aloft, upstream from a shortwave trough over
MO/AR. Storms that are currently going over western KS will make a
run at us, but are expected to dissipate before reaching eastern
OK. With mostly clear skies, cool and relatively moist conditions
in place, some fog has developed across the region. Some of this
fog may be locally dense, but currently not widespread enough to
warrant any headlines. With the shortwave trough now east of us,
we should see more sun, warmer and mainly dry conditions today.
There are some hints of isolated storm chances mainly over central
OK so included some low PoPs mainly west of highway 75 for the
afternoon and early evening.

Indications are that storms developing over the High Plains this
afternoon will make a run at us again tonight, with better
success due to some uptick in westerly flow aloft. PoPs/thunder
probs trend upward especially from Tulsa to the north and west by
late tonight.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 133 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024

Some storms are expected to be ongoing Sunday morning across
mainly NE OK. By afternoon, coverage looks more widely scattered
with hints of a weak convective-induced vort max sliding overhead.
Another shortwave trough is expected to slide across the central
Plains Sunday/Sunday night, forcing a boundary down that will
focus a relative max in storm chances across the north and east
toward Monday morning. Outflow from these storms could fire more
activity Monday afternoon and night. After a relative lull on
Tuesday, a strong shortwave trough is expected to slide across the
north-central US toward the middle of next week on the nose of a
powerful cross-Pacific upper jet. This will force an initial
frontal boundary into the area late Tuesday into Wednesday, with
another reinforcing front pushing thru Thursday. With strong NW
flow aloft in place over the Plains south of deep cyclonic flow
centered over the Great Lakes, models are starting to suggest a
period of active nighttime MCS activity beginning Friday night.
We`ll just have to wait and see.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1148 PM CDT Fri May 31 2024

Ongoing storms across NW AR are likely to wane and gradually move
east over the next several hours with minimal impact to local
terminals. Otherwise, a widely varying mix of cloud heights and
eventual fog development will complicate the forecast through the
mid morning hours. Thereafter, a trend toward rising ceilings
and/or eroding fog will lead to VFR conditions by afternoon. Any
afternoon storm coverage is expected to remain too isolated to
warrant mention.
