.SHORT TERM...
(Through tonight )
Issued at 1235 PM CST Mon Nov 2 2026

Forecast has remained consistent through tonight. Initial
convection will spread into NE OK this afternoon with a limited
severe risk as updrafts largely remain elevated per 16z KOUN
sounding. A steady increase in sfc based storms is likely by late
afternoon from north central OK into N TX with expanding coverage
into several larger broken line segments by early evening as
storms move into E OK. The line of storms will continue eastward
overnight and move east of the local forecast area by mid Tuesday
morning.

The evening and overnight severe weather potential will be a
balance between meager instability and strong shear profiles
especially in the lowest levels. Bulk of guidance has favored
organized bowing segments along the line of storms into E OK with
a less organized structure further east into the early morning
hours. This evolution is plausible given the expected instability
gradients, however there remains concern for deeper moisture
advecting into SE OK and portions of western AR during the early
morning hours and the resultant influences. Forecast hodographs
become more enlarged across the forecast area from mid evening
through the overnight hours and, should sufficient instability
remain to balance this shear, then the severe weather potential
will remain defined through western AR as the line passes.
Specifically shear within the lowest 1km is forecast to increase
within ranges typically seen for at least sporadic wind damage
with even less intense updrafts and quickly developing tornado
identification will be a warning and communication challenge
through the entire event. The ability to be alerted to severe
weather warnings through the night time hours is a good reminder
for all.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Monday)
Issued at 1235 PM CST Mon Nov 2 2026

Cooler and breezy conditions follow the system on Tuesday as early
morning storms move east of the region and wrap around light
showers pass across NE OK and NW AR during the afternoon. Another
notable shortwave rotates across the region on Thursday with light
precip potential with guidance remaining varied in overall
coverage. Otherwise, a dry forecast will prevail into next weekend
with temperatures nearer early November normals.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1158 AM CST Mon Nov 2 2026

MVFR cigs will likely continue through much of the period. Brief
periods of VFR conditions will be possible for a time this
afternoon before increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms
from mid afternoon through this evening first across NE OK sites
and then into NW AR sites overnight tonight. Gusty southerly winds
will gradually veer to more southwesterly and then westerly by the
end of the period. Cigs are progged to clear out behind the
passing line of storms during the early morning hours across NE OK
before MVFR cigs fill back in behind the cold front as it passes
through the region on Tuesday.
