.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of today )
Issued at 1028 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024

Surface obs and vis satellite indicate fog has dissipated for the
most part, thus the advisory expired as scheduled at 10 AM.
Earlier cluster of storms that was approaching western Osage Co
has also dissipated, so removed POPs through 18z. Still potential
for at least isolated storms this afternoon from north central
into southeast OK. For now the POP configuration looks good.
Updated products have been sent.

.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...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 527 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024

Areas of fog have developed across much of NE OK and portions of
NW AR this morning with flight impacts into LIFR levels at times.
Expectation is for a slow improvement after sunrise becoming MVFR
to VFR levels from mid to late morning. Any afternoon storms are
expected to remain too isolated to warrant mention. Additional
storms will attempt to move into the region late tonight however
most guidance remains pessimistic on eastward extent and thus no
mention at this time. Patchy light fog again possible tonight.
