KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 1215 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2025
- SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES THROUGH THE NIGHT.

NEAR TERM
(REST OF TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1057 PM CDT SUN MAY 25 2025
CONVECTION IS ONGOING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH HEAVY RAIN /
FLOODING BEING THE CHIEF CONCERN. DAMAGING WINDS (AND HAIL IN
WESTERN OKLAHOMA) WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE, THOUGH WITH DECREASING
INSTABILITY THIS SHOULD BECOME A DIMINISHING CONCERN.
A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS, PARTICULARLY
IN NORTH TEXAS AND POSSIBLY NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. CAMS CLEAR US
OUT FOR THE REST OF THE MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. THERE IS SOME
SIGNAL FOR A FEW ELEVATED SHOWERS IN CENTRAL OKLAHOMA MONDAY
AFTERNOON. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW MODELS SUGGESTING ANOTHER COMPLEX
COMING OFF THE PANHANDLES INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA MONDAY AFTERNOON
(HRRR) / EVENING (A FEW OTHER CAMS) AND TRAVERSING EASTWARD THROUGH
THE EVENING / OVERNIGHT. ENVIRONMENT MAY SUPPORT A FEW STRONG TO
MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS. THAT ALL SAID, CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN HOW
THE REST OF TODAY / TONIGHT WILL SHAPE UP WITH A LOT OF DEPENDENCE
ON PRIOR CONVECTION.
DAY

WITH THE FRONT SHUNTED SOUTHWARD, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE A

ISSUED AT 1057 PM CDT SUN MAY 25 2025
AFTER OUR MIDWEEK RESPITE, MODELS SUGGEST THE NEXT UPPER WAVE MOVING
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT / THURSDAY WITH AN ASSOCIATED FRONT,
BRINGING MEDIUM RAIN CHANCES WITH IT. TOO EARLY TO START DIVING INTO
MESOSCALE DETAILS AS THE SYNOPTIC LEVEL IS STILL SHOWING SOME MODEL
VARIANCE.
AFTER THIS WAVE MOVES THROUGH, WE SHOULD GET ANOTHER DRY PERIOD
BEFORE ANOTHER SHORTWAVE POSSIBLY ARRIVES SOMETIME NEXT WEEKEND.
