287 FXUS64 KOUN 011124 AFDOUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 624 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 1212 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Complex affecting portions of western north Texas early this morning is expected to continue to slowly weaken through the early morning hours. Another area of showers and thunderstorms across western Kansas will make a run at northwest Oklahoma this morning, but these too are expected to weaken as they move into the area toward morning. A few residual showers and thunderstorms that last into first part of the day today will gradually dissipate. There is a signal for a few isolated to widely scattered storms this afternoon, but most of the area will remain dry through much of the day and into this evening. Otherwise today will see the beginning of warming trend that will likely through at least the middle of the upcoming week. As we go through the afternoon and into this evening, again expect convection to develop across much of the High plains. This activity will grow upscale into several complexes of storms (MCS) that will make their way east and southeast out into the Plain states. These are expected to make their way into western sections of Oklahoma and western north Texas by late evening and will likely remain stronger longer given sufficient instability as well as a stronger llj across west Texas and western Oklahoma. These will make their way east across the area tonight with a damaging wind risk as well as some hail potential. Isolated heavy rainfall will also be a concern. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Friday) Issued at 1212 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Much like the last few days, some lingering morning shower/thunderstorm activity is possible Sunday, but much of the area should see dry conditions through a majority of the day. More of a signal across the northern/central Plains Sunday night into Monday with the aid of a weak surface boundary. Although a rather deep waa layer could result in a few storms further south across our area. These lower-end precip chances continue into mid-week with better chances to the north of the area. Much of the area will also see daytime temps warm into the 90s as we go through this time frame. A cold front looks to move south across the area Wednesday, which will temper the warming trend, no real cold air is associated with the boundary. It may however shift any lingering precip chances off to our south and east for the second half of the week. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 615 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Tricky forecast for PNC/SWO this morning. Dense fog has develop over the past 1 to 2 hours with visibility near 1/2 mile. Meanwhile, convection has developed ahead of an MCV over southern Kansas. A little unsure if this precipitation will reach PNC or SWO, but the increase in cloud cover may help improve visibility from fog. It appears the northern Oklahoma convection will remain east of WWR. Otherwise, MVFR to VFR conditions will prevail through much of the day. It is possible for storms to form near DUA, as a remnant MCV moves across southern Oklahoma this afternoon. Thunderstorms may move into western Oklahoma late this evening and overnight and should mainly impact WWR/CSM. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
