.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 346 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

   - Hot and humid conditions will continue for the next week with

.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of today )
Issued at 1022 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

Widespread morning convection has produced an extensive cold pool
with the outflow boundary generally along Interstate 40 and arcing
northwestward through north central OK. Persistent upglide with SW
oriented low level jet has maintained numerous showers across NE
OK and the overall complex continues to slowly move eastward.
Associated MCV will be a source of lift this afternoon as
continues continue to destabilize outside of the rain cooled
influence. Expect scattered storms to redevelop through the
afternoon with the higher coverage from SE OK through western AR
and points eastward. Forecast will adjust for observed trends but
the afternoon forecast generally reflects the mentioned scenario.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Friday)
Issued at 346 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

Daily shower and thunderstorm chances will persist through the
upcoming week, with an uptick in shower and storm coverage early
next week as a weak frontal boundary sags south into the area.
Locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds will be the main threats
with the storms. Precipitation coverage will wane during the
latter half of next week, but at least isolated convection is
likely each day. Temperatures will remain near the seasonal
averages, with most places seeing highs in the low to mid 90s and
lows in the low to mid 70s each day. Afternoon heat index values
will range from 95 to 105 each day.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1222 PM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025

Scattered showers remain from the early morning convection with
additional isolated to scattered storms likely this afternoon from
SE OK through NW AR. Coverage is uncertain but with continued
destabilization through the afternoon and presence of MCV the
forecast will retain of flight impacts. Guidance is generally
quiet from precip overnight into early Sunday. Possibly some
patchy fog but will later forecasts address this potential.
