.UPDATE...
Sent a quick update to account for the higher coverage in pops
northwest of the I-30 corridor for the remainder of the afternoon
hours. Following along the lines of the HRRR that this convection
will begin to lose its punch once it gets south and east of the
I-30 Corridor later this evening. Did not touch the remaining
grids or the overnight grids other than to taper pops downward
during the evening.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 359 PM CDT Thu Jun 7 2018/

SHORT TERM...
The aforementioned MCS from central Oklahoma has finally moved
into our region bringing some much needed rainfall across SE
Oklahoma, SW Arkansas, and NE Texas. Short range models continue
to suggest these storms will dissipate after sunset. Tomorrow,
upper level ridging continues to expand northeastward into our
region. This will result in increased subsidence and subsequently
mostly dry conditions over the next couple of days. A few model
solutions hint at some diurnally driven isolated convection
generated mainly by daytime destabilization across the northern
sections of the CWA, but confidence remains low at the moment, so
decided to keep precip out of the forecast. Above normal
temperatures will continue as daytime highs will reach the
lower/mid 90s with overnight lows in the lower 70s. /20/

LONG TERM...
Upper-level ridge to maintain hot and mainly dry conditions from
Sunday through Tuesday with temperatures ranging from highs in the
lower to middle 90s and lows in the mid 70s. An easterly moving
upper-level trough traveling across the Gulf of Mexico will bring
scattered showers and thunderstorms to the region on Tuesday and
Wednesday. Better rain coverage can be expected across northern
Louisiana and south-central Louisiana on Tuesday, with more
widespread coverage across the ArkLaTex on Wednesday. Otherwise,
temperatures during midweek to range from highs in the lower 90s to
lows in the mid 70s. /05/

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 136 PM CDT Thu Jun 7 2018/

AVIATION...
For the 07/18z Tafs..VFR conditions will continue to prevail
doing the remainder of the Taf period. Scattered CU will
eventually give way to mostly clear skies after sunset across the
region. However, there is currently a MCS across central Oklahoma
that continues to slowly move towards the region. Models suggest
it will make it into the northern portions of our CWA by late
evening before dissipating. At the moment, there is no mention of
-tsra in the Tafs, but may need to amend at ktxk and possible down
to ktyr/kggg although confidence is low given the anticipated
isolated nature of the event. Otherwise, winds will remain
southerly between 5-10 mph then decrease to light/variable after
sunset. /20/
