771 FXUS64 KTSA 060045 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 745 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024 ...New SHORT TERM... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of tonight) Issued at 745 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024 Clear skies and mild temperatures will persist overnight tonight across the region. Current forecast remains on track, with no notable changes for the update this evening. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Saturday) Issued at 200 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024 Cold front passes across the local forecast area tomorrow through tomorrow evening. Much drier air will follow the front coupled with a window of gusty winds across NE OK. Cooler temps are likely to lag the frontal passage and the result will be very low afternoon humidity values across NE OK with a few hours of stronger winds. Grassland fire weather conditions will respond with any fire starts possibly being problematic until winds lessen by late afternoon. The low dewpoint airmass will overspread the region and only slowly modify through mid week. Expect wide daily range in temps with highly variable overnight lows as local terrain effects couple with excellent radiational conditions. The region become aligned on the eastern periphery of the mid level ridge early next week and most guidance depicts a corridor of higher mid level moisture residing across or near the area. Expectation is daily ACCUS field developing overnight and persisting through the morning for several days next week. An isolated shower or storm may also develop though overall coverage and placement uncertainties keeps precip chances very low at this time. Any rains will be light and likely not meaningful to the ongoing drought conditions. General expectation is continued dry and above normal temperatures for much of next week. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 554 PM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024 VFR conditions expected thru the period. A cold front will switch winds from south today to north on Sunday. Winds across NE OK will gust above 15 kts at times thru the afternoon. Lacy && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
