499 FXUS64 KTSA 290925 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 425 AM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 350 AM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 - Hot and humid conditions will continue for most of the next week with heat indices of 95-105 F across the area. Some minor relief may briefly occur on Tuesday and Wednesday. - Daily isolated to scattered showers and storms expected much of the next week with locally heavy rains, downburst winds, and lightning being the primary hazards. Monday will be the day of greatest storm coverage. && .SHORT TERM... (Today) Issued at 350 AM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 A few showers and thunderstorms will be possible today across parts of northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas, but most places will see mostly sunny skies, with hot and humid conditions. Afternoon heat index values will reach 100 to 105 degrees in many places, but the current expectation is that any heat index values above 105 degrees will remain isolated. Thus will not issue a heat advisory at this time, but trends will be monitored throguh the day. Afternoon high temperatures will reach the low to mid 90s. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Saturday) Issued at 350 AM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 Shower and storm chances will be on the increase tonight across northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas as a weak cold front approaches from the north. Storm chances will spread south during the day Monday, and it is possible that the greater storm coverage may end up farther south than currently indicated by Monday afternoon. Strong downburst winds and locally heavy rainfall will be possible with the storms Monday. Storm coverage will wane as the week goes on, but never entirely disappear. Slightly drier air may make a brief intrusion into at least northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas Tuesday and Wednesday before hot and humid conditions return for the rest of the week. Afternoon heat index values from 95 to 105 degrees will be common headed into the long holiday weekend next week. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1210 AM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 Overnight tonight few to scattered high clouds are anticipated for the CWA. There remains some isolated potential for patchy areas of reduced visibility in far northwest Arkansas. At this time will continue to hold off mentioning due to uncertainties with development. During the day Sunday, scattered mid and high clouds are again forecast across the majority of the CWA. Slight chance of convection develops Sunday afternoon, though for now will keep TAF sites dry. VFR conditions are forecast for the TAF period. Better signal for thunderstorm development arrives after 00Z as a complex could move out of Kansas and affect NE OK and NW AR sites during the evening. Have introduced Prob30 groups for this scenario until better agreement in guidance emerges. Bowlan && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
