183 FXUS64 KTSA 240155 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 855 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 ...New UPDATE... .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, with trends suggesting Tuesday and Wednesday may have the higher coverage. && .UPDATE... Issued at 851 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 The current forecast remains on track this evening with no significant changes required for the evening update. A quiet night is in store with light south winds and lows in the mid to lower 70s areawide. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Tonight) Issued at 204 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 Hot and humid conditions persist across eastern Oklahoma and northwest and west central Arkansas this afternoon, with current heat index values mainly in the 95 to 100 degree range. Best coverage of diurnal cumulus exists across southeast Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas, and this region is where isolated thunderstorms remain expected through sunset. A secondary area for development may be northwest of I-44, where another well developed cu field is evident and the HRRR continues to show development. Otherwise, much of the overnight will be dry and quiet, with low temperatures running near to just above seasonal normals. && .LONG TERM... (Tomorrow through Monday) Issued at 204 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 Near persistent conditions should be expected again tomorrow and Wednesday, with the exception of lower wind speeds than the area has seen the last few days. Diurnal thunderstorms are again expected both days, focused in southeast Oklahoma and western Arkansas, although an uptick in coverage remains likely. Overnights should continue to feature near to just above normal low temperatures. The pattern will begin to breakdown toward the latter part of the week and into the weekend, leading to a lesser potential for thunderstorms and slightly warmer afternoon temperatures given a more westerly 850 mb wind component. Late in the weekend and toward early next week, a low amplitude trough looks to approach the region, which should lead to better coverage of thunderstorms and lower daytime temperatures with an associated front. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 623 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 Diurnal isolated/widely scattered SHRA/TSRA over far ern OK and nwrn AR expected to wane an hour or two into the forecast period. Probability of impacts at any one site too low to mention. Activity did approach the vicinity of FSM and FYV earlier. Convection over south central KS and north central OK should remain west and north of nern OK sites this evening. VFR conditions with a few high clouds expected tonight, with diurnal cumulus developing again tomorrow mid/late morning. Diurnal convection again expected Tuesday in far ern OK and nwrn AR, but again, probability of impacts at any one site is too low to mention in forecasts at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
