.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of tonight)
Issued at 951 PM CDT Sat Jun 29 2024

Clusters of severe thunderstorms that developed into the area earlier
this evening continue to trend downward. Expect severe threat to
continue to decrease this evening, with ongoing Severe Thunderstorm
Watch for several remaining counties set to expire at 11 pm. Chance
of some of this lingering past midnight, with CAMs continuing to
suggest additional development possible nern OK late tonight. Severe
potential with activity after midnight will be very low. Thunderstorm
cold pools/precip has lowered temps in parts of the area to very
near overnight forecasted low temps. Have made some adjustments to
various parameters based on current trends.

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Saturday)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Sat Jun 29 2024

Showers and storms may be ongoing early Sunday along the elevated
frontal zone which will slowly focus southward into the region.
The composite sfc boundary / outflows will likely align further
southward across SE OK into western AR by Sunday afternoon.
Additional afternoon storms are likely along the sfc front while
some amount of persistent elevated convection continue further
north. Temperatures are likely to be highly variable across the
forecast area on Sunday with cloud cover and precip along with
frontal gradients all creating uncertainties. Along and south of
the sfc boundary may again approach heat advisory criteria but
will hold off on headlines at this time given wide range of
scenarios.

Sfc boundary gradually loses definition and realigns more north
south across the region on Monday. Upper ridge will begin to
strength overhead however isolated to scattered afternoon storms
are likely along the remnant boundaries. Heat will intensify
Tuesday into Wednesday and heat headlines likely return.

Pattern change expected by late week with ridging aloft expanding
through the western CONUS and downstream troughing aiding a
notable cold front push southward. The front is currently timed to
pass through the local region Friday with increasing shower and
thunderstorm chances and cooler temperatures into next weekend.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 604 PM CDT Sat Jun 29 2024

Storms developing on a front near the KS border have a better
potential of impacting KBVO in the near term, so maintained TEMPO
group for storm impacts there. I also left the VCTS for the other
NE OK sites and the far NW AR sites given recent radar trends
showing storms gradually shifting south. In the wake of the
frontal boundary late tonight, an area of MVFR cigs is expected
across NE OK. There`s low potential for some morning shower and
storm activity near the KS border, so included a PROB30 group at
KBVO for the morning hours. Some scattered afternoon storms are
possible farther south on Sunday close to where front will be and
have included PROB30s for KFSM and KMLC.
