...New UPDATE, AVIATION...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1057 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024

With the showers and storms having dissipated across the Oklahoma
panhandle, the chances of storms is lower overnight and have
updated the forecast this evening.

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 217 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024

A short wave centered over western Kansas is slowly making its way
eastward. Cloud cover and a few showers and storms can be seen along
the lead edge of this wave extending down through western Oklahoma /
eastern panhandles. CAMs appear to be struggling to resolve this
activity.

CAMs generate more organized thunderstorms along an axis of surface
convergence running through the panhandles and northwest Oklahoma
this afternoon. As temperature/dewpoint spreads increase and modest
deep layer shear develops, these thunderstorms could pose a strong
to severe downburst wind risk. These storms will try to make their
way eastward, running mainly on low-level jet energy (so, some
uncertainty in how far east they`re able to make it before
dissipating). One additional factor is we`ve seen signs of a few
MCVs on radar / satellite, including a potential MCV in southwest
Oklahoma that could help sustain a few showers into early morning.

After the passage of this wave, tomorrow should be partly cloudy,
breezy, and warm (highs in the 90s).

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 217 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024

In between a trough over the northwest CONUS and a ridge over the
eastern coast, temperatures are expected to be seasonably warm with
only occasional low rain chances.

Models depict a front approaching (and stalling near) northern
Oklahoma on Tuesday, yielding low (20-30%) rain chances across
northern Oklahoma Tuesday night into Wednesday. We could
additionally see some low rain chances associated with flow from the
gulf around the western edge of the upper high mid to late week next
week.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1105 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024

The showers and thunderstorms that were moving toward northwest
Oklahoma from the Oklahoma/Texas panhandles have dissipated, so
shower and storm chances are low enough to not include in any of
the TAFs. Winds will increase from the south after sunrise on
Sunday.
