...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday Night)
Issued at 239 PM CDT Fri May 10 2024

Quiet post-frontal weather will continue through the next 36 hours
across the Four State Region. This is due to surface ridging that
is making its way across the Intermountain West into the Great
Plains. It will quickly traverse the Southern Plains toward the
southeast U.S. in the next 36 hours, beginning to reintroduce
southerly winds by Saturday night. Temperatures will remain near
seasonable levels in response with maximums/minimums in the
80s/60s. /16/

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through next Thursday)
Issued at 239 PM CDT Fri May 10 2024

Active and wet weather returns through the rest of the weekend and
through most of next week across the Four State Region. This is
due to a quasi-zonal synoptic pattern augmented by a series of
slower troughs and faster embedded shortwaves across northern
Mexico and the Southern Plains. The first of these disturbances
will arrive late Sunday into most of Monday, then a break in
activity precedes the next round of activity is expected late
Wednesday into early Friday. Day 1-7 QPF values continue to trend
wetter with widespread 3-5 inch totals expected and isolated
higher amounts not out of the question (especially with rainfall
expected later next week). Temperature maximums/minimums will be
moderated by this activity as a result, remaining in the low-to-
mid 80s/upper 60s. /16/

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1217 PM CDT Fri May 10 2024

For the 10/18Z TAFs, VFR conditions will prevail at area terminals
throughout, primarily in the form of scattered to broken high
clouds, though some lower VFR cigs are possible with the
development of a small Cu field this afternoon. Northeast winds
will continue at 10 to 15 kts sustained with a few gusts in
breezier areas, before becoming lighter and variable overnight.
