.NEAR TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 233 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

Showers and storms are most numerous early this morning across
northeastern Oklahoma associated with a remnant MCV that moved
across our area yesterday. Additional isolated development has
been observed in the last hour across northern Oklahoma and also
southwest Oklahoma and western north Texas, but overall expect
less in the way of coverage this morning than we have seen the
past few days.

For the rest of today, subtle height rises are forecast over the
region as the upper ridge that has been positioned across the
southeast US begins to retrograde westward. The question is whether
or not this will be enough to suppress convective development within
an otherwise moist and unstable airmass. With no apparent MCV`s over
the area to help serve as a focus for initiation, convective
coverage is expected to be more isolated, so PoPs were capped at
15%. Highs will inch slightly higher this afternoon given the
subtle height rises mentioned earlier, but overall the change
should not be that noticeable compared to recent days.

.SHORT TERM...
(Sunday through Monday night)
Issued at 233 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

The upper ridge will continue to retreat westward Sunday into
Monday, bringing a pattern transition towards weak northwest flow
aloft. Much of the area is forecast to remain dry during the day on
Sunday, but by Sunday night we should see convection working its way
into northwest/western Oklahoma, aided by a weak front pushing south
out of Kansas. As this front slows over the area on Monday,
expect scattered to widespread shower and thunderstorm development
Monday afternoon and evening. The overall severe risk is low
during this period given relatively weak shear, but could still
see isolated instances of damaging wind gusts with the stronger
storms. Heavy rainfall and localized flooding will also be a risk
Monday given a high PWAT airmass in place and relatively slow
storm motions.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Friday)
Issued at 233 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

Shower and storm chances will continue into midweek as the cold
front washes out and eventually dissipates over the area. The
upper ridge is then forecast to reposition itself to our
southeast mid to late next week, which will leave us with fairly
nebulous forcing over the area. This will most likely bring a
reduction in shower/storm activity but not a total removal of
rain chances with a moist and weakly capped airmass still in
place.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1153 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

VFR conditions expected this TAF period with mid and high clouds.
S to SW winds this afternoon will back to S and SE early this
evening before shifting back to the S and SW again on Sunday.
Scattered light showers will continue to move across parts of
central and southern OK early/mid afternoon. This activity is
currently expected to not impact TAF sites but will need to be
monitored. There is also a low chance for some additional
isolated/widely scattered showers/storms to develop later this
afternoon into this evening across the area. With the low chances
and low coverage expected, this activity was not mentioned in any
TAFs at this time but will also continue to monitor for impacts
to TAF sites with this activity as well.
