146 FXUS64 KTSA 250220 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 920 PM CDT Mon Jun 24 2024 ...New SHORT TERM... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of tonight) Issued at 916 PM CDT Mon Jun 24 2024 Heat headlines for today have been allowed to expire as Heat Index values continue to slowly fall this evening, with most spots well below 100 degrees. Otherwise generally clear conditions overnight with very warm lows in the 70s to lower 80s. Forecast appears to be trending well. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Monday) Issued at 209 PM CDT Mon Jun 24 2024 Have expanded the heat advisory to include the entire CWA on Tuesday with heat index values expected to be in the 105 to 110 degree range during the afternoon. The chances of showers/storms ramp up Tuesday night into Wednesday as the upper level ridge retrogrades enough to the west to allow a brief window of northwesterly flow aloft. A mid level shortwave embedded within the northwesterly flow aloft will aid in thunderstorm development during this time as will an associated weak surface boundary. A few of these storms could be strong to severe with damaging winds and large hail the concern. Above normal temperatures are expected to continue through the forecast period as the upper level ridge builds back over the area. Low chances of showers/storms are still possible across northern portions of the area over the weekend as a weak frontal boundary attempts to push in from the north. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 623 PM CDT Mon Jun 24 2024 Scattered mid/high clouds, in association with weak upper disturbance, will continue shifting southeast this evening/overnight. Light winds tonight will become gusty from the south by midday Tuesday. VFR conditions are expected through the forecast period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
