.SHORT TERM...
(Today)
Issued at 254 AM CDT Thu Oct 10 2024

Weak E-W oriented upper trough axis drifting into the NE OK today
will bring some increase in mid cloud cover, along with low
chances for a few showers and isolated thunder. Otherwise, a warm
day is expected areawide with afternoon high temps some 5 to 10
degrees above seasonal averages.

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Wednesday)
Issued at 254 AM CDT Thu Oct 10 2024

The upper trough axis will continue to drift through the rest of
the forecast area tonight and into Friday, with low chances for
showers and isolated thunderstorms expanding some to the south
later tonight and into Friday. This upper feature will dissipate
during the day Friday so will not include PoPs after 18z. Warm
weather will continue areawide into the weekend with a very warm
afternoon expected Saturday ahead of an approaching cold front.
The dry boundary will move through the area Sunday, though
locations roughly south of I-40 wont see frontal passage until
after peak heating, so another warm afternoon is expected for
those locations. Cooler temperatures settle across the area by
Monday, with a secondary/reinforcing push of cooler air arriving
overnight Monday or early Tuesday. Some extended guidance
indicates low QPF signals Tuesday, but will leave PoPs out at this
time. Cool and dry weather is expected to prevail for the
remainder of the forecast cycle.
