(Today and tonight) Issued at 216 AM CDT Tue Jun 18 2024 Gusty southerly winds will continue through most of the day as the surface pressure gradient increases. A few locations across northwestern Oklahoma may see gusts around 40 mph, but most locations across the area will see gusts around 30-35 mph. Cloud cover will gradually diminish through the afternoon, helping high temperatures get to the upper 80s to low 90s. Thunderstorms across southwestern Kansas may attempt to move into northwest Oklahoma during the late portions of the afternoon. There is a low chance that these storms are severe as they move into the area. Damaging wind gusts is the main hazard. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 216 AM CDT Tue Jun 18 2024 Storm chances will continue into the overnight hours across portions of western and northern Oklahoma, but any storm will be decreasing in intensity the further into Oklahoma it goes. Surface winds will relax late Tuesday night into Wednesday. High temperatures during the middle of the week will stay in the upper 80s to low 90s, before a warming trend into the weekend. Mid-level ridging will slowly move eastward over our area over the weekend and into next week. With the rise in high temperatures during the latter parts of the period, heat advisory criteria may be met. && .AVIATION...
