.SHORT TERM...
(Today)
Issued at 204 AM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024

A decaying MCS is ongoing over NW/N-Central OK this morning. The
MCS maintenance composite parameter per SPC mesoanalysis suggests
conditions over NE OK are not that favorable for MCS to continue
across NE OK thru the morning. CAMs agree as well, showing
dissipation. Nevertheless, KVNX radar shows outflow surging east
and this could maintain some showers and storms into parts of NE
OK. Some low PoPs were maintained thru the morning across NE OK,
but this is probably overkill. As we head into the afternoon, CAMs
suggest very little shower/storm coverage, with the better chances
across central/western OK so went with a low PoP west of hwy 75.

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Saturday)
Issued at 204 AM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024

The MPAS and HRRR suggest there is much better potential tonight
into Monday morning for one or more MCSs to move into the area. An
MCV or convective-induced vort will likely be sliding over the
region Monday morning as well. By Monday afternoon, the better
rain/storm chances will be shifting east, with rain/storm chances
trending lower in the wake of the MCV. PoPs Monday night have been
lowered to chance across the north with a slight chance thunder
prob given low confidence and lack of a convective signal coming
in from the High Plains.

Focus then turns to a strong shortwave trough to slide across the
northern tier of states later in the week, on the nose of a
powerful cross-Pacific upper jet. This system will force a
formidable frontal boundary south down the Plains which will
become the focus for what will likely become one or more MCSs to
track southeast across the region Tuesday night into Wednesday. A
reinforcing front will slide thru Thursday, bringing at least low
thunder chances. The GFS and EC differ with the details beyond
Thursday, but indications are that there will be some potential
for more MCS activity late week on into next weekend.
