906 FXUS64 KTSA 150206 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 906 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 ...New SHORT TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 348 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 - Odds lean toward another storm complex tonight. But as each round of storms changes the setup for the next round confidence is not high on the details. - Flooding will be possible along the track of the storm complex tonight and Sunday morning. A Flood Watch for parts of eastern Oklahoma has been issued. Since confidence on details is not high, monitor the latest information on changes to the flooding potential. - The chance for nighttime complexes diminishes next week, but a weather system moving through the area will bring increased storms chances from Tuesday night into Wednesday. - Hot and humid conditions are likely the later half of next week. && .SHORT TERM... (The rest of tonight) Issued at 906 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 Scattered thunderstorm development is underway across parts of north central and northeast Oklahoma this evening. This activity is still expected to increase in coverage throughout the rest of the evening hours as a modest (~35 knot) low level jet pick up atop a warm front planted over northern Oklahoma. As storms increase in coverage, it is expected that another convective complex will take shape and begin to accelerate to the south southeast through eastern Oklahoma, with the eastern fringes of the complex impinging on northwest Arkansas. The environment across much of eastern Oklahoma was worked over pretty good from activity this morning and early afternoon, with limited recovery noted across the region at this hour. This should severe to limit the severe potential somewhat across eastern Oklahoma, though a damaging wind threat could still evolve as convectively driven cold pools become more organized during the overnight hours. A limited tornado threat will also exist for a brief period with initial storms near the warm frontal boundary. In addition to the severe threat, a heavy rain and flooding threat will evolve once again tonight as storms redevelop and train over much of the same areas that have seen heavy rain in recent days. Tropical like moisture will lead to efficient rain producing storms with high rain rates. Antecedent conditions will support rapid runoff and with area creeks and streams already running high, it won`t take much to see an increased flash flooding risk where the heaviest rains fall. Have opted to expand the Flood Watch eastward as where trends suggest the heaviest rain will fall through the overnight hours. For the rest of the update tonight, have adjusted PoPs to match latest trends and guidance as well as some minor adjustments to temperatures for tonight. Bowlan && .LONG TERM... (Tomorrow through Saturday) Issued at 237 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 Remnants of what develops tonight will move across the area Sunday and weaken with time. There is some low potential for a storm complex Sunday night, but the probabilities are not too high. Nighttime complex potential will drop early next week, but the chance for storms will tick up from Tuesday evening into Wednesday evening as tough aloft passes and forces a front into or close to northeast Oklahoma. If the front does not make it, outflows will for a time. Following this system heights will rise over the area and heat will build. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 640 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 Today`s MCS has finally weakened and pushed out of our CWA this evening, with VFR conditions at all sites to begin this forecast period. Next round of convection expected late this evening over north central Oklahoma, will have potential to impact nern OK sites, and then spread south and east toward other sites overnight. Still quite a bit of uncertainty regarding this scenario playing out. MVFR CIGS and fog Sunday morning most sites, with MVFR CIGS continuing into midday/early afternoon before becoming VFR late. Convective potential increases again Sunday afternoon, but given the uncertainty of mesoscale boundary placement to focus development as well as other factors, have opted not to include PROB30 groups across the board at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
