Cool conditions again expected tonight with low temperatures 5 to 10 degrees below normal. && .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... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1154 AM CDT Fri Jul 19 2024 Winds will be mostly light and out of the northeast this afternoon, gradually shifting to southeasterly by Saturday morning. There will be long periods of nearly calm wind speed with a variable direction. Skies will remain mostly clear with patchy high clouds and afternoon low level cumulus at times. By 18Z Saturday a few showers and thicker cloud cover could begin to impact northeast OK, but model guidance was too inconsistent to include in the TAFs at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
