.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of today )
Issued at 949 AM CDT Tue Sep 17 2024

Morning clouds will thin into the afternoon, with partly to mostly
sunny skies for most areas by this afternoon. High temperatures
will continue to run above normal, in the mid 80s to near 90F. Pop
up storm activity is not expected today with PoPs mostly below
5%. Overall, a warm but quiet day is in store.

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Monday)
Issued at 341 AM CDT Tue Sep 17 2024

A warming trend will take place during the rest of the work week,
with unseasonably warm temperatures expected by Thursday and
Friday as an upper ridge builds over the area. Afternoon high
temperatures may approach the century mark in parts of northeast
Oklahoma, with all locations warming well into the 90s. Shower and
thunderstorm chances look to remain west of our area through
Friday.

By the weekend, an upper trough to the west will begin to break
down the upper ridge, and low rain chances may return to the
northern part of the forecast area. The upper trough looks to move
into the central plains by late in the weekend, allowing a cold
front to at least approach the area by Sunday night. The ECMWF is
now more aggressive than the GFS with the southern push of this
boundary and resultant cooler temperatures early next week, which
is a flip flop from recent days. For now, will stick close to the
NBM showing a much more modest cooldown early next week. More
significant rain chances may eventually develop later next week,
but this too is highly uncertain and beyond the range of this
forecast.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 635 AM CDT Tue Sep 17 2024

LIFR to MVFR conditions across much of the region this morning
are expected to continue into mid morning before beginning to lift
back to VFR. Meanwhile...locations in eastern Oklahoma not
currently observing these low conditions could have a period this
morning of MVFR ceilings before becoming scattered/broken VFR
ceiling late morning/early afternoon. By early afternoon...most
locations should have lifted back to scattered/broken VFR. This
cloud cover should dissipate by this evening with few/scattered
high clouds common for tonight. Winds through the period are
forecast to remain between east and southeasterly through the
period.
