443 FXUS64 KOUN 151727 AFDOUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 1227 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 319 AM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 Hot and humid conditions continue today. This afternoon, a slowly- moving weak upper short wave trough will extend from eastern SD to the TX panhandle. Residual boundaries from Friday evening storms will be in place to provide a further focus for thunderstorm development. Some storms that form along this general axis will probably move into the northwestern third or so of Oklahoma late afternoon and into the evening. A few severe wind gusts are possible. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Friday) Issued at 319 AM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 The weak upper wave and any associated thunderstorms over northern Oklahoma early Sunday will have moved to the northeast of OK by midday. Much of the next week will be dominated by a strong upper ridge across the southern U.S. A long-wave trough over the Great Basin will keep southwesterly flow over the central and northern plains. Above normal temperatures are expected over the southern plains through Tuesday when a front approaches northern Oklahoma. This will bring another chance for showers/thunderstorms likely continuing into mid-week as the front dissipates over Oklahoma. Low storm chances continue into late week. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1223 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 VFR conditions expected to prevail with gusty southerly winds most of the forecast period. TAF mention of TSRA will be confined to KWWR and KCSM this forecast issuance as elevated moist layer interacts with weak and slow moving waves moving out of the Panhandles. There is a chance for another MCV to develop overnight and keep scattered high based SHRA/TSRA going toward and beyond 12Z near KLAW/KSPS but probabilities too low to mention with this issuance. Something to watch for in later forecasts. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
