371 FXUS64 KTSA 061650 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1150 AM CDT Thu Jun 6 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of today ) Issued at 1036 AM CDT Thu Jun 6 2024 A weak upper level feature is spreading clouds into northeast OK and northwest AR. A line of showers and thunderstorms across southwest Missouri could clip the far northeastern tip of the forecast area (in northwest AR) early this afternoon, but otherwise dry weather is anticipated through the afternoon. Highs will be warm in the upper 80s to 90s. Pops were cut back through 00z on account of recent CAM trends backing away from storm chances this afternoon. There is still a slight (10-20%) chance for an isolated pop up shower or thunderstorm this evening in northeast OK but any impacts would be minimal. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Wednesday) Issued at 351 AM CDT Thu Jun 6 2024 MCS potential will increase across mainly northern parts of the area Friday night and early Saturday, and area wide Saturday night and Sunday. A cold front will also sag south into the area Sunday, but there is some question on just how far south this boundary will go. As a result, low rain chances will continue Sunday night into early Monday in the southern and western parts of the forecast area. An upper level wave looks to bring another chance of showers and storms Tuesday into Tuesday night, with upper ridging beginning to take hold after that time. && .AVIATION...
