894 FXUS64 KTSA 292330 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 630 PM CDT Fri May 29 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 624 PM CDT Fri May 29 2026 - A thunderstorm complex may move into northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas late this evening and overnight with a limited severe weather threat. - Rain chances decrease and temperatures warm this weekend into early next week. Afternoon heat index values may reach tripke digits in a few spots. - Unsettled weather returns later next week with daily shower and storm chances. && .SHORT TERM... (Through tonight ) Issued at 1240 PM CDT Fri May 29 2026 Scattered showers and thunderstorms have developed across northwest Arkansas early this afternoon. This activity will persist until around sunset before diminishing. Slow moving storms may result in locally heavy rainfall. A storm complex is expected to develop late this afternoon and early evening from southern Kansas into northwest Oklahoma. These storms may maintain their intensity into northeast Oklahoma and possibly northwest Arkansas by late this evening and overnight, with a limited severe weather potential, mainly in the form of damaging winds. && .LONG TERM... (Tomorrow through Friday) Issued at 1240 PM CDT Fri May 29 2026 An upper ridge will build over the area this weekend into early next week, with afternoon temperatures warming to near or above 90 degrees in most places by Sunday and Monday. With a humid airmass remaining in place, afternoon heat index values may reach 100 degrees in some spots. Thunderstorm chances look limited during this time frame, but a few storms may drift into northeast Oklahoma from the west Saturday evening before the ridge strengthens. Unsettled weather looks to return Tuesday through the end of next week as a weakness in the upper ridge develops over the southern plains. This will result in a return of daily shower and thunderstorm chances and temperatures cooling back closer to the seasonal averages. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 624 PM CDT Fri May 29 2026 Clusters of thunderstorms developing this across northeast OK will eventually move into northeast OK this evening, and result in at least brief deterioration of flight conditions at NE OK terminals through around 06z. Potential impacts farther east into northwest AR remain less certain though PROB30 will continue to be carried overnight. Potential for low clouds and fog appears less tonight and likely will be dependent on evolution of storms tonight. Outside of storm impacts and potential fog, VFR conditions will prevail with a bit stronger south winds Saturday afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
