.SHORT TERM...

(Tonight)

Issued at 140 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025



Plume of deeper moisture has expanded across E OK and is

downstream of the subtle weak wave extended through NW OK. These

elements combined with ample heating will support isolated to

scattered storms later this afternoon through early evening with

the higher chances northwest of Interstate 44. Locally strong

downburst winds will be possible with any stronger storms. The

convection may wane this evening but bulk of guidance maintains

a signal for continued precip chances through the overnight hours

into early Friday.

.LONG TERM...

(Tonight through Thursday)

Issued at 140 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025



Weak sfc boundary slides into the forecast area tomorrow while

remnant troughing remains aloft as the upper ridge has weakened.

A broader expanse of deep moisture will also be present and

expectation is shower and storms will be ongoing early Friday

steadily expand in coverage through the afternoon with a drift to

the east and south. Any stronger storm will be capable of locally

gusty winds. Heavy downpours should be expected with the slow

storm motions.



Storm chances continue on Saturday but overall lesser coverage is

expected. Another glancing influence from a passing wave aloft is

likely to increase shower and storm coverage Sunday into Monday.

Overall temps and afternoon heat index values expected to remain 

near seasonal normals. Outdoor activities should be mindful of 

lightning safety through the weekend.

.AVIATION...

(18Z TAFS)

Issued at 1213 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025



VFR conditions are likely to persist through the forecast period

for all sites, outside of direct influence from thunderstorms.

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across N-Central

OK this afternoon and move east, potentially impacting BVO/TUL/RVS

between 00-05z. Storms may produce gusty outflow winds and heavy 

rainfall, but should be weakening as they approach NE OK TAF

sites. A low probability for showers and isolated thunderstorms 

continues across E OK overnight and into the morning hours, with 

minimal impacts expected during this period. Additional 

thunderstorm chances are forecast late in the forecast period/ 

tomorrow afternoon.
