.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 145 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022

Somewhat complicated setup ongoing early this morning as several
areas of convection continue, with one area across the panhandles
and southwest KS tied to warm air advection along the nose of the
low-level jet, and a second area across central/eastern KS
associated with the cold front progressing southward. Hi-res model
guidance has been struggling to properly resolve both areas of
convection so confidence continues to be lower than normal
regarding the evolution of convection this morning.

The most likely scenario will be for initially more isolated
convection across western Oklahoma to increase in coverage as the
cold front moves southward, with additional convection developing
further eastward along the front as well into northern and
central Oklahoma with time. There remains the possibility of one
or more linear segments to organize with an associated risk for
damaging wind gusts, along with a risk for isolated large hail.
Some risk also exists for flooding if storms can train over the
same areas, but at least as of now the progressive nature of the
front appears to be somewhat of a limiting factor, with only
isolated flooding expected.

The front will continue southward through the morning, with
convection moving south and eastward out of the area by late
morning. Scattered showers will remain possible behind the front
into early afternoon before diminishing. Chances for organized high
plains convection tonight appear very low as the front pushes well
to the south and takes the better moisture with it. Still, retained
slight chances for showers/storms tonight across our southern
counties closer to the front where moisture will linger the longest.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 256 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022

Another round of thunderstorms, but looks to be the final one of
this week, will be possible across at least portions of the area
Thursday night into early Friday.

Models show NW upper flow setting up late this week with southerly
sfc winds returning during the day Thursday and a boundary moving
into parts of the area Thursday night/Friday. Higher dewpoint
moisture will spread back north across the area Thursday ahead of
this boundary. Models show thunderstorms developing N and NW/W of
the fa Thursday afternoon/evening then becoming one or more storm
complexes that affects the region. There is more confidence that an
MCS will develop in KS and move into parts of OK which could affect
at least NE/E portions of the fa, although there is some uncertainty
on how far W/SW the MCS will affect the area. A few models even show
that the majority of the MCS would stay N and E of the fa.
Meanwhile, there is lower confidence that any storms that develop in
the High Plains to the NW and W will make it into the fa but there
is a chance some of this activity could make it into portions of the
fa as well. Strong to severe storms will also be possible Thursday
night/early Friday, with the highest potential with the MCS.
Damaging winds, hail, and heavy rain will be the main concerns.

After this last round of storms, models show an upper ridge
affecting the region this weekend into early next week leading to a
dry forecast. Temperatures will also begin to warm with above
average temperatures late this weekend into early next week. It
looks like southwest portions of the fa will climb above 100 for
several days next week. Breezy winds are also expected early next
week.
