(Through tonight )
Issued at 213 PM CDT Fri Jul 19 2024

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Friday)
Issued at 213 PM CDT Fri Jul 19 2024
A few scattered showers from overnight complex to the northwest could
move move into far northeast Oklahoma Saturday morning. Any storms
will likely be weakening by this time as a relatively dry air-
mass remains in place. Better precipitation chances are expected
Saturday night into Sunday as initial mid level wave/upper jet
streak moves through the region.

Longwave trough will remain over the central/southern Plains with
secondary disturbance/upper low approaching from the north Sunday
night. Another round of scattered showers with a few embedded
thunderstorms are expected Sunday night into Monday. Rainfall
totals through Monday will generally stay in the 0.5-1.0 inch
range, although locally higher amounts are possible in a few
locations.

Modest warming trend will develop for the middle to latter part of
the work next as upper ridging slowly builds in from the west. A few
isolated showers/thunderstorms will remain possible across far SE
OK/NW AR, mainly in the higher terrain areas. Main upper high will
remain over the desert Southwest, keeping temperatures near or only
slightly above normal.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 634 PM CDT Fri Jul 19 2024

Few to scattered mid and high clouds should continue into the
overnight hours across the CWA. Late tonight into Saturday morning
cloud cover is expected to increase from the northwest as an area
of low pressure sags southward into the Central Plains. A slight
chance of precip could become possible for Northeast Oklahoma
Saturday morning...or a possible outflow boundary moving into the
region from ongoing convection in Northern Kansas. For now will
hold of on mentioning in the TAFs due to uncertainties in
coverage/impact to any one terminal. During the day
Saturday...scattered to broken mid and high clouds are forecast.
A slight chance of showers/storms will remain for Northeast
Oklahoma during the day...with the greater chances just outside of
this TAF period. Winds through the period should continue to be
light/variable into Saturday with a shift more toward southerly
winds during the day. VFR conditions are forecast through the TAF
period.
