.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 313 AM CDT Wed Jul 13 2022

Some spotty showers have developed across Oklahoma, mainly along the
I-40 corridor. Similar to yesterday morning, these are developing
in an 850mb baroclinic zone, however in a much worse convective
environment with close to nil instability or shear. Aside from
these relatively short lived showers, Wednesday is expected dry
with seasonably normal high temperatures in central and northern
Oklahoma with highs in the 90s, while southern Oklahoma and
western north Texas will remain hot and above average with
temperatures in the 100s. With the upper level ridge remaining
positioned over the southwestern United States, skies will remain
mostly clear and this will likely be the beginning of a very
boring stretch of weather.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 313 AM CDT Wed Jul 13 2022

Mid to upper heights will increase Thursday within the eastern
extent of the ridge, with subsidence following a subtle mid level
shortwave trough moving into central TX. High temperatures will
again climb into the triple digits under these conditions.
Thankfully, drier boundary layer air will keep heat index values
below 105 for most of the area. The exception may be across far
southeastern OK. The hot trend will continue well into the weekend
as the upper ridge expands and heights increase over the Southern
Plains. Surface dewpoints will likely increase a couple degrees
Friday with some low level moisture advection expected under the
influence of more SSE flow. Would then expect at least a few
locations reaching or exceeding heat advisory criteria, especially
across north central OK.

A mid level shortwave trough will make its way around the ridge and
into the Central Plains during the day Saturday. A stalling cold
front and accompanying moist convection will near our northern
border during the evening but it will remain very hot ahead of it
with another possible heat advisory for a portion of the forecast
area. Some of the aforementioned convection may continue southward
overnight through the morning hours along and east of I-35 as mid
level WAA increases. For now, will only include SChc PoPs
considering most of the forcing and better moisture will remain to
our east. After this feature passes Sunday, precipitation chances
should return to near zero Monday and Tuesday.
