&& .SHORT TERM... (Tuesday through Wednesday) Issued at 1225 AM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 Widespread severe thunderstorm activity has moved eastward. We are still watching a wake surge of new development riding NE up our I-30 corridor. Some of these cells may have small hail and gusty winds to 35 mph. Anything stronger will be alerted with additional special weather statements. An isolated storm may become severe, but all of this area is only half way into recovery and even now activity is weakening in Miller County. /24/ && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Sunday) Issued at 253 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 A fairly active weather pattern will continue through the rest of the week into the weekend across the Four State Region. The aforementioned synoptic setup will not change much until ridging across the Four Corners/West Texas builds eastward into our area by the weekend. Until then, additional MCSs cannot be ruled out and are notoriously tricky to catch in their initiation, speed, and intensity by high-resolution guidance, reducing ideal forecast certainty. That said, the best windows for more activity will be on Wednesday and later this weekend as a frontal boundary somewhat interrupts the best environment for convection between those two times. Temperature maximums/minimums will remain near-to-above normal in the lower 90s/mid-70s, respectively. /16/ && .AVIATION...

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 128 AM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 For the 04/06Z TAF period, still dealing with convection across our northern and eastern airspace early this morning but coverage and intensity has greatly diminished. This trend is expected to continue through the remainder of this morning with low stratus returning as we approach daybreak and thereafter with MVFR/IFR cigs likely through the first half of the period before improving back to VFR toward midday/early afternoon. Additional convection during the day Tuesday remains difficult to pin down so have only inserted VCTS starting around midday through the afternoon hours. Otherwise, S/SE winds will prevail between 5-15 kts with higher gusts invof of any convection. /19/
