...New AVIATION, UPPER AIR...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 322 PM CDT Sat Jul 10 2021

Storms are expected to continue to develop across southwest
Missouri, southern Kansas, northeast Oklahoma and eventually
north-central Oklahoma this afternoon.

Storms will continue to develop along and ahead of a cold front that
is moving into northwest Oklahoma this afternoon. Modest instability
and strengthening deep layer sheer will support, storms with
supercellular characteristics, at least initially. These storms will
pose a large hail, damaging wind and at least a very low tornado
risk. However, veered low level flow and more linear forcing along
the surface front will lead to an expected quick transition to a
more linear mode along the boundary. Primary hazard will become
damaging wind gusts and with a secondary heavy rainfall concern as
precipitable water values remain high. However, progressive nature
of this activity is expected to limit the overall heavy rainfall
threat.

HRRR would suggest convection would approach the I-40 corridor 9pm
or a little after. There has been a trend of slowing the southward
progression down in the laster few runs. The storms would then
approach the Red river around 3 or 4 in the morning. Although an
overall downward trend is expected after midnight, some severe risk
does appear possible through the night time hours.

Will keep some lingering precip chances along the Red river Sunday
morning, but most of the activity should be south of the area.
Models are also showing another embedded shortwave rotating around
the upper low to our northeast during the day Sunday. This may
result in a few showers or thunderstorms during the afternoon hours,
mainly along and east of the I-35 corridor. Otherwise, daytime temps
will be a bit lower on Sunday as will the dewpoints as slightly
drier air filters south behind the front.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 324 PM CDT Sat Jul 10 2021

The front exits the area and winds become light Sunday night and
winds veer to the SE/S by Monday afternoon as the surface ridge
axis moves eastward. The NAM/GFS suggest thunderstorm development
over western north TX and western OK Monday evening into early
Tuesday morning as a LLJ develops atop the retreating cold front,
or weak warm front. Left POPs low for now, but will continue to
watch trends.

The midlevel low pressure system that brought us the cold front
moves slowly across the midwest, before lifting northeast across
the Great Lakes on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the broad upper ridge that
has contributed to record heat across the western CONUS begins to
break down and north flow aloft will likewise weaken over our area.

A wave then translates across the northern plains midweek, and
there are low POPs for precipitation for northern Oklahoma on
Wednesday night into Thursday and again Thursday night into Friday.
The associated frontal boundaries and bulk of precipitation,
however, appears to remain well to our north.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 640 PM CDT Sat Jul 10 2021

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to increase along a cold
front currently moving across northern Oklahoma. Although
expecting ceilings with the CBs to lower just above MVFR,
reduced visibilities during heavy rain may produce brief periods
of MVFR to IFR conditions. Otherwise away from the CBs, conditions
should stay VFR. Winds behind the cold front will shift and
become northerly. However, outflow boundaries produced from storms
may result in more variable directional surface winds.
