SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY EARLY
THIS MORNING AS THEY MOVED INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. THIS ACTIVITY
WILL CONTINUE WEAKENING AS IT MOVES EAST THIS MORNING. ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON NEAR AND
AHEAD OF A WEAK COLD FRONT THAT WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA,
AND AN ISOLATED STRONG OR SEVERE STORM CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. HIGH
TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S IN FAR NORTHEAST

LONG TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 356 AM CDT THU MAY 29 2025
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT ACROSS
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN ARKANSAS. A WARMING TREND WILL THEN
COMMENCE FRIDAY, WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING BACK TO NEAR THE
SEASONAL AVERAGES OVER THE WEEKEND. THE MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF ON
RAIN CHANCES FOR SATURDAY NIGHT, SO HAVE KEPT POPS BELOW
MENTIONABLE LEVELS IN LINE WITH THE NBM, BUT THEY ARE NON-ZERO.
UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL DEVELOP NEXT WEEK AS AN UPPER TROUGH MOVES
OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST U.S. INTO THE PLAINS. THE MODELS HAVE SHOWN
LITTLE RUN-TO-RUN CONTINUITY ON THE EVOLUTION OF THIS TROUGH, BUT
CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE
MOST LIKELY TIME PERIOD FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS IN OUR AREA.
THE LATEST DATA SUGGESTS TEMPERATURES MAY THEN COOL DURING THE
MIDDLE TO LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK WITH CONTINUING RAIN CHANCES,
BUT THIS IS A BIG SHIFT FROM 24 HOURS AGO, SO FORECAST CONFIDENCE
IS LOW FOR WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND NEXT WEEK.
