...New AVIATION, UPPER AIR...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 309 PM CDT Sat Jul 31 2021

Outflow from last nights convection across northern Kansas
currently becoming nearly stationary across far southern Kansas.
Primary cold front progd to move southward across Kansas this
afternoon and continue to move into northern Oklahoma early this
evening. While most organized area of convection is expected to be
where these boundaries meet over southern Kansas, pre-frontal and
highly elevated storms are developing from the Texas Panhandle
eastward into northern portions of Oklahoma in deeply mixed,
veered flow. While this initial storm activity may be more or less
scattered due to lack of strong forcing along mentioned
boundaries, increased storm coverage expected through the evening
as outflow will help enhance low level convergence. Moderate mixed
layer CAPE and deep layer shear progd to increase toward 20 KT
should allow a few organized and persistent storms this evening to
yield damaging wind gusts across northern portions of Oklahoma.
By the overnight hours, aided by anticipated cold pool
development, showers and storms should begin to spread southward
into southwest and central portions of Oklahoma, although less
organized. Highest chances for rain will be retained across
northern and western portions of Oklahoma through the night.

Remnant, elevated shower activity with a few embedded storms
possible through Sunday morning across southwest Oklahoma/western
north Texas up into central Oklahoma. As instability increases
through the afternoon and early evening across the Red River
Valley of southern Oklahoma/northern Texas, redevelopment of
organized strong storms appears likely. During this time,
precipitable water values progd to exceed 2 inches, and with slow
storm movement, high rain totals and damaging wind gusts will be
possible across far southern Oklahoma and northern Texas into
Sunday night.

Temperatures on Sunday, for at least the northern two-thirds of
Oklahoma and portions of western north Texas, will be 15 to 20
degrees cooler than those seen this afternoon. However, ahead of
the front across far southeast Oklahoma, hot and humid conditions
are expected Sunday afternoon, which will yield extension of the
heat advisory over that area.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 309 PM CDT Sat Jul 31 2021

In the system's wake, northerly flow aloft is expected through
much of the week across the Southern Plains. North to northeast
surface winds will advect lower temperatures and dewpoints. As a
result, the weather will be noticeably more comfortable (at least
for early August standards) through mid week with lower humidity
and slightly below-average temperatures.

Temperatures will begin to increase toward the latter half of the
week as mid-level heights rise and a thermal ridge develops to
the west (the Southern Plains will be eastern periphery of the
thermal ridge).

The chance for convection appears quite low through much of the
extended period. While a subtle wave embedded in the
northerly/northwesterly flow could bring in remnant convection or
enhance the ascent, there is limited signal in the deterministic
guidance. The NBM 90th percentile QPF values are very low, which
indicates ensemble guidance is relatively dry as well.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 615 PM CDT Sat Jul 31 2021

Scattered showers and thunderstorms have developed across northern
Oklahoma ahead of a cold front moving through Kansas. The storm
chances and the cold front will both spread south this evening and
into Sunday. VFR conditions are expected in general, with some
areas of MVFR and localized IFR, mainly in and near the showers
and thunderstorms.

.UPPER AIR...
Issued at 615 PM CDT Sat Jul 31 2021
