038 FXUS64 KTSA 160139 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 839 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 ...New SHORT TERM... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of tonight) Issued at 839 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 Both surface and mid-level ridging across the Southeast CONUS continues to drive in modest warm air advection into the region this evening. A mid-level shortwave trough over the Central/Northern Plains, currently causing showers/storms in far Northwest OK and Central KS will continue to lift northeastward tonight and will likely have little to no impact on the forecast area. Thus, a quiet, warm and sultry night under partly cloudy to mostly clear skies is expected. Overnight low temperatures will bottom out the low-mid 70s -- generally about 5-7 degrees warmer than seasonal average. Mejia && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Saturday) Issued at 203 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 High temperatures will remain a few degrees above normal Sunday and again Monday. As upper high shifts over the Eastern Seaboard, a weak mid level impulse will lift north with low level Gulf moisture slowly increasing through mid week. This may allow isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop each afternoon with peak heating. Warming trend returns Friday into Saturday as upper ridging builds back into the southern Plains. Rain chances should remain very low to nil as easterly low level flow advects a drier air-mass into the region with PWATs decreasing. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 624 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period. South winds will gust over 20 knots at times Sunday at the northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas sites. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
