318 FXUS64 KTSA 120131 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 831 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024 ...New SHORT TERM... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of tonight) Issued at 826 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024 A fairly quiet night is on tap, featuring light winds and seasonable overnight temperatures. Mainly high cloud cover currently atop the region this evening will continue to shift south and eastward through the night, bringing mostly clear skies by daybreak tomorrow. The going forecast has things well handled, and no update is planned this evening. && .LONG TERM... (Tomorrow through Tuesday) Issued at 213 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024 Overall conditions will be trending in the direction of summertime as upper ridge expands over the southern states and surface high moves off to the east allowing s warmer and more humid airmass to expand over the region the next few days. NBM seems under-done at this time and have trended dew point temps more toward higher CONSMOS values. Combined with daytime highs in the low/mid 90s, will begin to see Heat Index values around 100 in many areas, possibly as early as Thursday. Overall precipitation chances will remain low in this pattern, however both Thursday night and Saturday night could see at least a low chance of storms moving into northern parts of the area. Thursday night convection along a frontal boundary in the Central Plains could eventually make a run at northeast OK, but given the expanding upper ridge this appears unlikely at this time. A few storms associated with an upper wave moving out of the Rockies this weekend could also flirt with northeast OK Saturday night or Sunday morning. The ridge axis should be pushed far enough east by early next week to allow a surge of deeper Gulf moisture into the area for at least isolated showers and thunderstorms. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 615 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2024 VFR conditions will prevail through the period with some mid to high cloud over the region through tomorrow. Winds will mainly stay light and variable tonight before becoming southerly during the day tomorrow around 5-10 knots. Bowlan && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
