670 FXUS64 KTSA 060516 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1216 AM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1122 PM CDT Sat Jul 5 2025 - Daily rain and storm chances will continue through the next week with higher chances for the first half of the week. - Organized severe weather is not expected. However, storms will be capable of producing localized heavy rainfall and gusty winds. - Afternoon heat indices will creep up into the 95-100F range toward the latter half of next week, with a front possible by the following weekend. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Sunday) Issued at 1122 PM CDT Sat Jul 5 2025 Pattern remains similar through Sunday with weak troughing remaining across the local region coincident with a plume of deeper moisture. Guidance does suggest slightly higher coverage of precip Sunday afternoon compared to Saturday especially across NW AR. Temps remain near persistence. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Saturday) Issued at 1122 PM CDT Sat Jul 5 2025 Upper ridge is forecast to remain centered over the western CONUS through the upcoming week. The local area will remain on the periphery of the ridge influence while also largely displaced from the stronger flow across the central and northern states. Periodic waves will pass to the north with the southern extent of each wave likely increasing daily precip chances locally. Additionally the continued presence of ample moisture and daytime heating amidst an unstable and uncapped airmass will offer another source of daily precip chances. This pattern appear likely to persist through the work week. Temperatures and afternoon heat index values are forecast to remain near seasonal normals. A slightly trend toward warmer and drier conditions is possible by late in the work week. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1214 AM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 Light showers are ongoing early tonight across far E OK and NW AR sites, but with minimal impacts expected. Vsbys may briefly drop under any heavier shower, but overall VFR conditions are likely to prevail through tonight. Patchy fog may develop across the region early this morning, but coverage and probability are too low to include in any TAFs at this time, and will amend if necessary. Mid and high clouds will be common again today, with potential to start out as a brief period of MVFR cigs. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase this afternoon and early evening, particularly across far NE OK and NW AR sites, where PROB30 groups have been maintained from 20-02z. Aside from any direct impacts from storms, VFR conditions are likely through the period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
