LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND BACK SIDE OF DEPARTING LOW
RESULTING IN EXPANSION OF LOW CLOUDS ACROSS NORTHEAST OK INTO FAR
NORTHWEST AR PRESENTLY. THIS WILL CONTINUE WITH CLOUDS BECOMING
MORE PREVALENT IN MUCH OF THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING. SOME PATCHY
DRIZZLE OR LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED ACROSS PARTS OF
SOUTHEAST KS AND SOME VERY LIGHT PRECIP WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE NEAR
KS AND MO BORDERS INTO SATURDAY MORNING, HOWEVER MEASURABLE PRECIP
CHANCES REMAIN LESS THAN 20%. OVERALL ANTICIPATE A COOLER

LONG TERM
(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1050 PM CST FRI NOV 21 2025
LOW CLOUDS SHOULD EVENTUALLY CLEAR FOR ALL AREAS BY SATURDAY
EVENING. SURFACE HIGH WILL SETTLE OVER THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT
WITH AREAS OF FOG DEVELOPING. SCENARIO WILL FAVOR AT LEAST
LIMITED POTENTIAL FOR DENSE FOG GIVEN THE RECENT RAINFALL. DRY AND
WARMER CONDITIONS EXPECTED SUNDAY IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER UPPER
LOW, WITH ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE BY LATE SUNDAY RESULTING IN
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL CHANCES RETURNING BY SUNDAY EVENING WITHIN
WARM CONVEYOR BELT AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW. A FEW EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS ALSO POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT.
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS CONTINUE INTO MONDAY, WITH STRONGER DEEP LAYER
WIND FIELDS SPREADING OVER THE AREA DURING THAT TIME. THE HIGHER
INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO BE DEPICTED OVER SOUTHEAST OK INTO WEST
CENTRAL AR, AND THIS AREA SHOULD BECOME FOCUS FOR HEAVIEST
RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1-2" AND LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. FLOODING
POTENTIAL WILL BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER WITH THIS ROUND BEING ONLY A FEW
DAYS REMOVED FROM RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS MAY DEVELOP WHERE THE STRONGER WIND FIELDS OVERLAP SOMEWHAT
HIGHER INSTABILITY, AGAIN OVER SOUTHEAST OK AND WEST CENTRAL AR.
AFTER THIS SYSTEM DEPARTS, DRY WEATHER EXPECTED TO PREVAIL
THROUGH THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, WITH TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO
NORMAL LEVELS BEHIND A MORE SUBSTANTIAL COLD FRONT.
