253 FXUS64 KTSA 220533 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1233 AM CDT Tue Sep 22 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1231 AM CDT Tue Sep 22 2026 - A few showers possible through Tuesday morning. - Cooler, but still above average temperatures persist through the week. - Some thunderstorm chance returns by the weekend and early next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Tuesday) Issued at 1132 PM CDT Mon Sep 21 2026 Surface high pressure will filter into the region tonight in the wake of a cold front that has moved through the area. Partly cloudy conditions and light winds will be the result through much of the night, as temperatures drop into the 60s to upper 50s areawide by Tuesday morning. A few showers will be possible from near sunrise through mid morning Tuesday along the southward advancing mid level frontal zone. Generally any rain amounts will remain light with only very isolated thunder chances. This activity should wane toward midday leaving behind another relatively pleasant day mostly in the low to mid 80s across the north to low 90s across the south. Bowlan && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday Night through Monday) Issued at 1132 PM CDT Mon Sep 21 2026 Near persistent conditions will continue through mid week and toward the weekend as an extensive surface ridge axis extends southwestward from southwestern Canada into northeast Oklahoma. Dry weather will largely prevail through the work week as mid level ridging builds back over much of the Southern Plains. This will lead to mostly sunny days with a slow, but steady warmup as we near the weekend. Another system could clip the local region this weekend as the ridge shifts southward, bringing some more rain chances and a slight cooldown. Signals point to a potentially more active pattern heading into the next week with more widespread rain chances and a more seasonably significant cold front potentially on the horizon. We will have to wait and see how that plays out in the coming days. Bowlan && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1231 AM CDT Tue Sep 22 2026 Corridor of mid level ceilings and isolated showers will spread across portion of the region through sunrise. Additionally, low ceilings currently across SW MO are likely to expand across NE OK into far NW AR before sunrise and persist through mid morning. Once ceilings lift then VFR conditions are expected area wide through the remainder of the forecast period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
