404 FXUS64 KTSA 300520 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1220 AM CDT Thu May 30 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of tonight) Issued at 926 PM CDT Wed May 29 2024 Earlier showers and thunderstorms have either dissipated or moved east of the area this evening. Dry weather should prevail for the rest of the night, with a storm complex from the northwest not expect to arrive until later Thursday morning. As such, have removed pops for the rest the overnight hours. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Wednesday) Issued at 227 PM CDT Wed May 29 2024 PoPs to expand Thursday, with the highest PoPs across SE OK as the storm complex tracks towards the the Red River from the morning into the afternoon hours. Expect an overall weakening trend from late afternoon into the evening, but will keep a broadbrush of chance PoPs in between 00-06z. Will increase rain/storm chances after 06z Friday as another complex is expected to develop to the northwest in association with a stronger upper wave. This complex will track towards the forecast area late Thursday night into Friday. Once this wave passes to the east Friday night, much of Saturday should remain dry. A subtle wave passing through Sunday may result in isolated to widely scattered activity, so will carry low end PoPs at this time for the end of the weekend. Overall, the active pattern continues into next week, though some medium range solutions suggest weak, but somewhat `dirty` ridging possibly setting up over the area which may result in lower end coverage of rain and storms. However, any modest mid level height rises will be suppressed by a stronger wave that looks to move through Tuesday night/early Wednesday. && .AVIATION...

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1220 AM CDT Thu May 30 2024 VFR conditions will prevail through the rest of the night. A complex of showers and thunderstorms will likely move into parts of eastern Oklahoma by mid morning and could impact those terminals with MVFR/IFR conditions during any storms. Uncertainty exists in how the complex will evolve and as such probabilities of impacting any one terminal are still on the low side (~30%). Shower/storm chances will shift eastward into the afternoon and evening, with impact to AR sites possible after 18Z. Otherwise, light winds and VFR cigs will be the prevailing conditions. Bowlan
