.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 223 PM CDT Mon May 4 2020

As of 19Z, the prefrontal trough extended from Osage - Canadian -
Beckham counties with northwesterly winds behind the axis. The
cold front was located near the OK/KS border with temperatures in
the 60s behind the front. The front is expected to quickly
progress south across Oklahoma and western north Texas this
evening and overnight. The 19Z sounding shows a strong cap over
the OKC area, and is unlikely to break unless sufficient
ascent/cooling arrives. A tornado watch has been issued for
Seminole, Hughes, Pontotoc, and Coal counties until 10PM. Latest
trends indicate convective initiation will likely be
east/southeast of the OKC metro by 7PM. The primary hazards for
our CWA will be large hail and damaging winds, although, a tornado
cannot be ruled out.

Northerly winds and strong cold air advection will keep
temperatures much cooler tomorrow - maximum temperatures will be
in the 70s and near 80 degrees (SW Oklahoma and western north TX).

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 223 PM CDT Mon May 4 2020

Surface high builds over the plains and provides for mild
conditions on Tuesday and Wednesday. A surface cyclone develops on
Thursday in advance of a midlevel shortwave, though models
continue to show a considerable difference on the placement of
the low through 00Z Friday. Daytime high temperatures for Thursday
have been lowered as the trend is for the surface low to pass
south of the TX/OK border, placing most of our area on the cool
side. Chances for showers/thunderstorms return on Thursday and
again Sunday afternoon/evening.

Below average temperatures are still expected Friday through early
next week.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Mon May 4 2020

A period of post-frontal MVFR cigs will be possible at KPNC this
afternoon, otherwise VFR conditions expected to prevail. TSRA
will develop near a fast moving cold front late this afternoon and
we currently expect this convection to be east and south of
terminals. Gusty southwest winds will become north and northeast
as front moves by, with gusts 20 to 30 KT common.
