399 FXUS64 KTSA 240756 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 256 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 200 PM CDT Sun Jun 22 2025 - Hot and humid conditions will prevail for the next week with daily heat indices of 95-105 F across the area. - Daily isolated to scattered showers and storms likely much of this week. - Storm coverage may increase early next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Today) Issued at 237 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 Persistent upper pattern today with expansive upper ridge to the east, with local forecast area remaining under southerly flow on western side. Expect similar conditions to last few days temeprature-wise with HI values again reaching mid 90s to around 100. Isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected again this afternoon favoring the higher terrain areas of western AR and southeast OK, with most guidance suggesting a minor uptick in coverage. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Monday) Issued at 237 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 Pattern remains essentially unchanged into Wednesday, with temps in a similar range and more isolated convection in the afternoon. By later in the week the ridge does break down some with more westerly mid level flow spreading over the region. This should result in slightly hotter temperatures going into the weekend along with lower thunderstorm chances. Exception may be potential for Central PLains convection to make a run at far northern areas Thursday night into Friday. By early next week, the eastern ridge is forecast to break down further and a weak cold front could move close enough to result in higher storm chances across parts of the area by Mon/Tue. This could also knock temperatures back down at least a few degrees. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1212 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 VFR conditions will prevail thru the period. Will see sct cu at all sites during the day with some sct high cloud throughout. Isolated storm coverage at best over toward W AR doesn`t warrant mention in TAF. Sfc winds will again be lighter and less gusty on Tuesday than they have been the past few days. Lacy && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
