531 FXUS64 KOUN 041652 AFDOUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK Issued by National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1152 AM CDT Wed Jun 4 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1141 AM CDT Wed Jun 4 2025 - Showers and thunderstorms possible late tonight and every day through the weekend with an increased severe risk. - Cooler temperatures today before a warming trend with normal temperatures by Friday. && .NEAR TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 213 AM CDT Wed Jun 4 2025 Storms along the cold front have moved out of our southeast CWA further into southeast Oklahoma. Our area will see below normal temperatures behind the cooler drier air mass as much as 10 degrees below average. Although western Oklahoma and adjacent western north Texas will see sun by this afternoon with temperatures warming into the upper 70s, much of the central two- thirds of Oklahoma will have persisting cloud cover and slightly cooler with highs in the lower to mid 70s. Not as chilly tonight as north winds veer east advecting in some warmer air. Storms will develop late tonight into the early morning hours as a shortwave expelled from longer wave trough over the western U.S. digs across our area. A few severe storms initiating on the Southern High Plains fed by a low-level jet may track into our far southwestern CWA late with large hail & damaging winds gusts as potential severe hazards. && .SHORT TERM... (Thursday through Friday night) Issued at 213 AM CDT Wed Jun 4 2025 Dryline convection may initiate on the Southern High Plains with more widespread storms moving into our area late Thursday into Friday when additional shortwave disturbances may move through. We may see a complex of storms more widespread across our area as well as an increased severe risk of large hail and damaging wind gusts, with the tornado risk staying in the panhandles for now. A potential outflow/surface boundary may be stretched across across our area Friday night for additional storm development. Warmer temperatures by Friday returning to more seasonably normal temperatures. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 213 AM CDT Wed Jun 4 2025 Another shortwave trough approaching in northwest flow this weekend, and a surface front/elevated boundary, may bring another round of strong storms late Saturday into Sunday morning. At this time, it appears southern Oklahoma and northern Texas will be the favored area for this activity. It`s possible that enough drier air will advect into the southern Plains that most of Sunday will be dry. The active pattern will likely persist into early next week with additional chances of thunderstorms. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1141 AM CDT Wed Jun 4 2025 Widespread MVFR to IFR ceilings will continue through the period. Areas the see improvement in ceilings today, will likely see additional reduced ceilings later today into tonight. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
