.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 255 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024

Continue to monitor convection acrs eastern OK this aftn. CAMS have
struggled to get a good handle on things. Based on latest radar
trends, wl include some low PoPs early this evening acrs some our
western zones as the activity is expected to wane close to sunset.

Otherwise, aftn conds have been tranquil acrs the FA, with partly
cloudy skies and temps in the mid 80s to the mid 90s.

Tonight...

Expect some lingering convection early in the west. There are still
indications that sctd convection may affect parts of northwest AR
later tngt as a weak CDFNT apchs fm the northwest. Also, the outer
affects fm Beryl wl bring sctd PoPs into the state fm the southwest
later tngt.

Monday through Tuesday...

Beryl is fcst to make landfall along the TX coast before daybreak on
Mon. The latest NHC guidance conts to take the remnants northward
over east TX Mon, then eventually turn more northeast and track acrs
northwest AR on Tue. The system wl accelerate acrs the FA as it is
absorbed into the long wave upper trof to our northwest.

We continue to emphasize that some deviation in the official track
wl occur with later fcsts. The main impacts on AR fm Beryl cont to
be heavy rainfall and the possibility of flash flooding. Based on
the latest FF guidance, as well as office coordination, we have
opted to hold off on a Flood Watch for our area. It still appears
that the timeframe for heavy rainfall wl be durg the Mon night into
Tue mrng.

The potential for a few tornadoes wl also exist as the remnants
tracks acrs AR. The main focus is generally for locations that are
to the north and east of the center/s track. Abundant cloud cover
and rain chcs wl keep daytime highs well below normal in most areas
Mon and Tue.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday Night through next Sunday)
Issued at 255 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024

After the remnants of Beryl depart the area, mid-level ridging
across the middle of the country will be pushed east by an expanding
ridge across the western US. This will provide warming temperatures
through the end of the period along with little to no rain chances.
No major disturbances look to approach the forecast area through next
weekend.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 622 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024

Moisture continues to increase in advance of tropical system
Beryl but the majority of the impacts will be felt after the TAF
period concludes. Convection will gradually overspread the region
but overall VFR conditions will prevail for the majority of the
period. Occasional MVFR conditions are expected in some of the
heavier precipitation later in the period. Winds will generally
be light and from the east to southeast.
