388 FXUS64 KTSA 111122 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 622 AM CDT Mon May 11 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 621 AM CDT Mon May 11 2026 - Decreasing shower coverage late this evening, with cool overnight temperatures tonight. - Temps near to above mid May normals forecast for the week ahead with low rain chances. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Monday) Issued at 1122 PM CDT Sun May 10 2026 A cool and largely low impact overnight period is expected ahead of your Monday, behind today/s frontal passage. A few lingering showers remain in the vicinity of far southeast Oklahoma and also across parts of northwest and west central Arkansas that should clear out just after midnight as the upper level trough axis pushes south and east of the area. The low impact weather will extend into Monday with surface high pressure across the region leading to light winds, decreasing cloudiness and seasonable afternoon temperatures. && .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through Sunday) Issued at 1122 PM CDT Sun May 10 2026 Southerly winds make a return to the region Monday night and into Tuesday as surface high pressure pushes to the east and another front approaches the area from the north. Warmer conditions will accompany the southerly winds, aided by the location of the pre- frontal warm nose during the afternoon. Low shower and thunderstorm chances accompany the front across far northeast Oklahoma and into far northwest Arkansas Tuesday night, with severe weather unlikely. Temperatures will not drop off much behind the front, with above normal temperatures expected Wednesday afternoon as well. Upper level ridging builds into the region briefly in the Wednesday night into Thursday time frame, bringing even warmer temperatures and breezy conditions for Thursday afternoon. For Friday and Saturday, largely zonal flow aloft is forecast, with periodic disturbances moving through the region leading to increased cloud cover and shower/thunderstorm potential. There is low confidence in the timing of each potential disturbance at this range. Late in the weekend, a more substantial upper level system is depicted in medium range models, likely bringing more widespread and substantial precipitation to the area. Well above normal temperatures are favored Friday through the weekend, although potential cloud cover and precipitation could serve as a limit on just how high afternoon temperatures get on any given day. && .AVIATION...
