583 FXUS64 KTSA 160114 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 814 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 ...New SHORT TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 200 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2025 - A few showers and storms are expected in northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas into the evening, with a chance of a shower or storm in southeast Oklahoma. This activity will diminish tonight. - Dry conditions are expected Monday and Tuesday. - Heat index values jump into the 90s to near 100 degrees on Tuesday. The first days of the season with higher hear stress can be more impactful than expected. - Another weather system will move through the area and will bring increased storms chances from late Tuesday night into Wednesday. - Summer-like conditions are expected behind the mid-week weather system. && .SHORT TERM... (The rest of tonight) Issued at 814 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 Scattered showers continue to feed over parts of northeast Oklahoma and western Arkansas as a remnant mesoscale vortex spins over the region. An isolated thunderstorm remains possible over the next few hours, though meager instability and weak wind shear over the area will limit much in the way of thunder through tonight. Still, scattered showers will likely continue in close proximity to the MCV as it broadens and weakens through the evening. Otherwise, clearing skies and light winds in association with the saturated ground will lead to some patchy fog formation areawide tonight, with greater coverage expected across portions of western Arkansas where temperatures remained in the 70s this afternoon. A mostly quiet night is in store for a change as a lull in the active weather pattern will settle over the region in the near term at least. Seasonably mild overnight lows expected tonight with most locations bottoming out in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees. For the update this evening... incorporated the latest trends to update PoPs/Thunder chances and introduce patchy fog for the whole area tonight. Otherwise, the going forecast is in good shape. Bowlan && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Sunday) Issued at 134 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 Dry conditions are expected Monday into Tuesday as upper-level heights rise a little. The next system is now over the eastern Pacific and will begin to influence the weather over the central Plains on Tuesday. While much of the influence of this system passes to the north, it appears the southern edge of the faster winds aloft will come across far northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas on Wednesday. As outflow boundaries come into the area late Tuesday night and the front gets close, thunderstorm chances will increase. Depending on the timing of the system, and just how far south the faster winds aloft are, the severe storm potential could increase. Prior to the storms on Wednesday, heat index values on Tuesday will likely get well into the 90s to near 100 degrees. It is important to note that the first days of the summer season with higher heat and humidity can be more impactful than expected. Summer-like conditions are expected to develop behind the system on Wednesday. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 609 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 Spotty showers mainly affecting NW AR terminals should tend to decrease in coverage after sunset this evening. Pilots should expect a return of low clouds and some fog toward Monday morning at most sites. Conditions should drop into IFR category or blo, with improvement expected after mid-morning Monday.
