030 FXUS64 KTSA 011722 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1222 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 ...New AVIATION... .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. Lacy && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1219 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Fog has dissipated but some low MVFR ceilings linger across northeast OK. However, VFR conditions should prevail shortly after 18z. Isolated thunderstorms remain possible this afternoon but still expect coverage to remain too sparse for inclusion in the forecast. Some potential again tonight for fog, most likely across NW AR, but not expected to be as extensive. POssible weakening storm cluster may make a run at NE OK very early Sunday morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
