283 FXUS64 KTSA 010558 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1258 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1258 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 - Low to medium shower and thunderstorm chances and well below normal temperatures forecast for the Labor Day holiday. - Those with outdoor plans for the holiday should consider sheltering options and remain weather aware, with lightning and low potential for locally heavy rain in the forecast. - Stronger cold front by late week will drop temperatures even further through next weekend, maintaining well below normal temperatures. && .SHORT TERM... (Today) Issued at 1258 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 Upper level disturbances moving southeast in the northwest flow aloft will continue to generate scattered showers and a few thunderstorms today. Locally heavy rainfall will again be possible in a few spots much as what occurred Sunday. Temperatures will remain well below normal, with afternoon highs ranging from the upper 70s to mid 80s. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Monday) Issued at 1258 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 A stronger upper level disturbance will pass just to our northeast Monday night allowing a weak cold front to drop south across our area. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible, with the brunt of the precipitation shifting east into far eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas during the day Tuesday. Temperatures Tuesday will remain well below the seasonal averages. Wednesday looks to remain dry, with temperatures warming into the mid to upper 80s. Another cold front will move into the area Wednesday evening and overnight bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday evening and overnight, and cooler temperatures to northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas Thursday. The frontal boundary will be washing out by late Thursday across southern parts of the area, so temperatures there will be similar to those seen Wednesday. A stronger cold front now appears likely to move across the area Friday, with well below normal temperatures then expected through next weekend. Precipitation chances during this period remain uncertain and will be tied to the eventual southward push of the Friday cold front. Stayed with the NBM solution for now with the main shower and storm chances across the southern part of the forecast area next weekend. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1258 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 Isolated to scattered rain showers are forecast to continue into the overnight hours across much of the CWA, with additional chances remaining into the morning hours Monday. Late morning Monday, there could be a lull in isolated/scattered showers before additional showers drop south out of Kansas Monday afternoon/early evening. Will carry Prob30 groups for timing of greater potential of showers Monday morning and again Monday afternoon. Storm potentials develop Monday afternoon and have added a mention of thunder to KBVO for now. Cloud cover through the period should remain scattered to overcast mid and high clouds with the potential for a period of MVFR conditions within the stronger showers and any storm development. Winds through the period continue to be variable to an east/southeast direction. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
