...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of today )
Issued at 1100 AM CDT Thu May 9 2024
A few elevated showers/thunderstorms across northeast Oklahoma
late this morning. This activity is moving into a more stable
air-mass, so overall coverage will likely be very isolated at best
before weakening. Additional, mainly elevated, showers/thunderstorms
are expected across southeast Oklahoma this afternoon as mid level
disturbance approaches from the southwest. A storm or two could
become marginally severe near the Red River, closer to the cold
front, before shifting southeast.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Wednesday)
Issued at 320 AM CDT Thu May 9 2024

High pressure builds across the region Friday into Saturday with
dry weather and near normal temperatures. The pattern aloft will
feature a near stationary closed low over the southwestern CONUS
which is expected to finally move across the southern Plains
Sunday through Monday. Shower and thunderstorm chances will
increase accordingly with widespread rains appearing likely Sunday
night through Monday. Overall the severe weather potential appears
rather low at this time with limited instability and stronger flow
more south the region.

The flow aloft remains northwesterly through the central CONUS in
wake of the passing upper low and likely beyond as amplified
ridging develops over the western CONUS. This should allow several
stronger cold front to move through the region with the severe
weather potential remaining much less than has recently been seen.

Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected with scattered high clouds into
