139 FXUS64 KTSA 121053 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 453 AM CST Wed Nov 12 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 452 AM CST Wed Nov 12 2025 - Well above normal temperatures Wednesday through Saturday. - Dry weather will persist until Saturday with breezy conditions Thursday through Saturday. - Shower and thunderstorm chances return this weekend continuing into early next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Wednesday Night) Issued at 1036 PM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 Winds have relaxed for the overnight period as a weak frontal boundary approaches the region from the north. This boundary will move through the area Wednesday morning. No impact expected from the frontal passage besides a wind shift to generally light northerly winds during the day. Temperatures will top out near where they were yesterday, with highs expected in the low to mid 70s from north to south respectively. Seasonably mild overnight lows are forecast with clear skies prevailing outside of some passing high clouds. Bowlan && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 1036 PM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 The warming trend continues through the end of the week and into the weekend as southerly winds return and become gusty again Thursday through Saturday ahead of another frontal passage. Temperatures will be unseasonably warm through the end of the week with some places approaching record highs in the low 80s, especially Friday and Saturday. A somewhat more active pattern is expected through the end of the forecast period beginning with the passage of a frontal boundary during the day Saturday. The frontal passage itself is expected to be dry in the absence of deep layer moisture and minimal forcing noted in any of the guidance. It will at least bring a cool off back to near seasonal normals into the beginning of next week. The latter half of the weekend into early next week will see a cutoff low off the Southern California Coast get absorbed into the flow and lift northeast out of the Southwest CONUS through the Plains. Latest trends have been farther north with the track of the upper low and thus the better rain chances have shifted north of the local region as well. Still, at least some increasing chances for rain will arrive late in the weekend into early next week, mainly across northeast Oklahoma late Sunday into Monday. The best chances for showers and thunderstorms look to be with the next frontal passage Monday night into Tuesday across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Precip chances could be on the uptick again later in the week as another system moves into the Plains. Guidance remains highly divergent on the details at this range though. Bowlan && .AVIATION...
