...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(Through tonight )
Issued at 238 PM CDT Sun Jul 14 2024

A light south breeze will persist overnight keeping temperatures
on the warm side. Overnight lows will be in the 70s to near 80,
with the warmest readings in the Tulsa metropolitan area.

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Sunday)
Issued at 238 PM CDT Sun Jul 14 2024

Monday is expected to be the hottest day of the year thus far,
with afternoon high temperatures from the upper 90s to near 105
along with breezy south winds. Afternoon heat index values will
reach near or above 105 in all areas, so have issued a heat
advisory for the entire forecast area for Monday afternoon. Parts
of northeast Oklahoma will be near excessive heat warning
criteria, and this area will need to be monitored for a potential
upgrade to a warning.

Tuesday will be another hot day, but a weak frontal boundary will
be approaching from the north. This may result in a bit more
cloudiness, and some potential for late day convection near the
Kansas and Missouri borders. This may hold temperatures down a bit
in northern areas Tuesday afternoon.

Shower and storm chances will be on the increase Tuesday night and
Wednesday as the aforementioned frontal boundary sags south across
the area. Rain chances continue into Thursday, especially south
where the frontal boundary may still be nearby. Overall, the
models have sped up the progression of the front and associated
rain chances, so have adjusted pops accordingly from those
suggested by the NBM.

A welcome break from the heat will occur from Wednesday through
next weekend, with below normal temperatures expected. Rain
chances will start to increase again later next weekend as an
upper level trough persists over the area, but models differ on
the details, so the chances will remain low at this time.
