...New LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 140 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020

Isolate showers and thunderstorms will persist across northern
reaches of Oklahoma this afternoon in the hot and very humid
airmass. Aloft, a weak mid-level wave will approach KS and
northern Oklahoma later today and provide more support for
showers/storms this evening and overnight. A dry line over the
western panhandles this afternoon will initiate more storms as it
moves east into the central panhandles by early evening. Some of
these storms are expected to move into western and northern
Oklahoma this evening and continue across at least the north into
early Tuesday. By this time, the upper trough will move across
northern Oklahoma and keep scattered showers and clouds around
east of I-35 into Tuesday afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 243 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020

The upper-level ridge over the desert Southwest will remain the
main feature affecting our weather through the period. After the
upper-level wave from tonight/tomorrow moves off to the southeast,
there is little in the way of disturbances in the flow until at
least the weekend. Around that time, the upper high shifts north
into Utah and vicinity, altering the northwest flow to more
northerly flow across the southern Plains. This will, assuming it
happens, help bring somewhat cooler air into the region this
weekend. It may also bring more widespread chances for rain.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 140 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020

Thunderstorms are expected to affect northwestern Oklahoma this
evening, mainly affecting KWWR. Otherwise, overnight and early
Tuesday a few storms may affect PNC, but probability is too low
for now to include it in the TAF. Otherwise, VFR conditions are
expected outside of thunderstorms.
