KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 550 PM CDT TUE MAY 27 2025
- SCATTERED STORMS CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE THE NEXT FEW DAYS
- HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN SHOWERS AND STORMS WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
EARLY THURSDAY
- COOLER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES EXPECTED.
NEAR TERM
(REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT TUE MAY 27 2025
THE MID-LEVEL CIRCULATION CONTINUES TO TRACK ACROSS NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA. MESOSCALE ANALYSIS SHOWS SOME INSTABILITY DEVELOPING
WITH LITTLE INHIBITION, AND THERE MAY BE ENOUGH LIFT TO WARRANT
AT LEAST LOW CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE WE
EXPECT CONTINUED MILD TEMPERATURES.
SHORT TERM
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT TUE MAY 27 2025
UPSLOPE CONDITIONS ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS AND A SHORTWAVE
MOVING SOUTH ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BROAD UPPER TROUGH ARE
EXPECTED TO CREATE STORMS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN ON WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY CREATE A STORM COMPLEX THAT
WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA WEDNESDAY EVENING
AND CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA BRINGING HIGH POPS
INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY ALONG WITH SOME
POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE FOR
SEVERE STORMS, MAINLY ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FA. THIS
COMPLEX WILL MOVE OUT AND/OR DIMINISH DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY.
AS A FRONT MOVES FARTHER SOUTH, UPSLOPE FLOW DEVELOPS FARTHER
SOUTH ACROSS THE TEXAS/NEW MEXICO HIGH PLAINS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING WHICH WILL LIKELY CREATE ANOTHER STORM COMPLEX.
THE STRONGEST SIGNAL IS FOR THIS COMPLEX TO REMAIN SOUTH OF OUR
FORECAST AREA, BUT THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR IT TO AFFECT THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF OUR AREA AND WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS IN THE
SOUTHEAST.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1203 AM CDT TUE MAY 27 2025
LONG TERM WILL DEPEND ON HOW FAST THE SYNOPTIC WAVE SHIFTS EASTWARD.
CURRENT FORECAST HAS US MOSTLY DRY FOR THE WEEKEND, BUT WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED IF LOW POPS GET INTRODUCED SOON AS GLOBAL MODELS STILL
KEEP THE UPPER TROUGH CLOSE ENOUGH FOR US TO BE AFFECTED BY ANY
SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW.
