(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 229 AM CDT WED JUN 25 2025
A WEAK DISTURBANCE OR TWO ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ALONG THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY OF AN UPPER RIDGE TO OUR EAST. THIS ALONG WITH RATHER
HIGH PWAT VALUES WILL RESULT IN AT LEAST ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS
ACROSS MAINLY SOUTH CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. IF STORMS DEVELOP, LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS
COULD OCCUR ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL
BE DIURNAL, BUT SOME MAY LINGER WELL INTO THE EVENING. OTHERWISE,
HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST TODAY WITH HIGHS
MAINLY IN THE LOW TO MID 90S, AND HEAT INDEX VALUES AROUND 100
DEGREES.
SHORT TERM
(THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 229 AM CDT WED JUN 25 2025
ON THURSDAY, A SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND NORTHERN ROCKIES. AS THIS OCCURS, A
DISTURBANCE ACROSS NEW MEXICO WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
PANHANDLES AND INTO WESTERN KANSAS. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN AFTERNOON
SHOWERS AND STORMS, SOME OF WHICH MAY MOVE INTO PARTS OF WESTERN
AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA DURING THE EVENING AND EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS.
SOME OF THE SHOWERS AND PERHAPS STORMS MAY LINGER INTO THE FIRST PART
OF FRIDAY, ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. AT THIS TIME CHANCES
ARE LOW (LESS THAN 20%).
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 229 AM CDT WED JUN 25 2025
THE CENTER OF AN UPPER RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD ACROSS THE
ARKLATEX DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND (SATURDAY). THIS
SHOULD BRING MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ALONG WITH HOTTER DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES. HIGHS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE
MID 90S TO NEAR 100. ON SUNDAY, A SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS MAY PUSH A WEAK
COLD FRONT INTO WESTERN AND NORTHERN KANSAS. THE FRONT, ALONG
WITH INCREASE MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE, WILL BRING A BETTER
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO WESTERN AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA
LATE SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY. WITH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT BY LATE
MONDAY AND TUESDAY, AND A WEAK FRONT BOUNDARY, RAIN AND STORM
CHANCES WILL BE THE (30-50%) RANGE, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN 2/3RDS OF OKLAHOMA.
