315 FXUS64 KTSA 111134 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 634 AM CDT Sat Oct 11 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 628 AM CDT Sat Oct 11 2025 - Unseasonably warm temperatures continue through the weekend, and for much of next week. - Increasing southerly winds and the warm conditions will aid in limited fire weather concerns for the weekend, especially Sunday afternoon. - Low Rain chances return early next week, mainly for areas along and north of I-44. && .SHORT TERM... (Today) Issued at 1213 AM CDT Sat Oct 11 2025 Cluster of showers earlier this afternoon produced a swath of 0.25"- 0.50" rainfall totals from BVO-TUL. This has resulted in patchy fog along and west of Highway 75, which most likely will persist into early morning with local reductions to 1/2 mile or lower. Otherwise quiet conditions overnight with lows mainly upper 50s and lower 60s. South winds will begin to increase to a degree across eastern OK this afternoon under an expanding upper ridge. Temperatures will once again warm well above normal with highs in the 80s, to around 90 west of Highway 75. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Friday) Issued at 1213 AM CDT Sat Oct 11 2025 Further strengthening of the sfc pressure gradient anticipated Sunday as shortwave trough moves into the Northern Plains and flattens the upper ridge. With continued well above normal temperatures, likely a degree or two warmer than Saturday, fire weather conditions will worsen as RH falls into the 25-35% range in much of eastern OK. The area of highest concern will be where these conditions overlap with a corridor extending from the west side of Tulsa metro and south of US 412 that remains several weeks separated from the most recent wetting rainfall. A weak frontal boundary will approach from the north Monday while a surge of tropical Pacific moisture moves over the plains. The latest trends favor less of a frontal push south with the corridor of associated rainfall mainly affecting areas to the northwest of the forecast area. Rain chances Monday remain confined to areas northwest of I-44 with generally light amounts anticipated at this time. Temperatures will be slightly cooler Monday owing more to increased cloud cover versus an actual airmass change. Strong upper ridge expected to re-expand back over the Southern Plains by the middle of next week with a return right back to summer like conditions through Friday at least. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 628 AM CDT Sat Oct 11 2025 Light winds and a moist ground from showers yesterday afternoon has left some light fog at daybreak at KBVO with some fog also observed at KFYV. Outside of these temporary restrictions, VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. Winds will remain light through much of the day then turn southeast and strengthen as the pressure gradient increases in response to lee troughing. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
