.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 302 PM CDT Tue Sep 19 2023

Area of showers and thunderstorms continues to develop and gradually
move east across the fa this afternoon. This activity is expected to
continue to slowly shift east the rest of the afternoon/evening.
Some strong to severe storms will continue to be possible with this
activity with hail and heavy rain being the primary concern.

Meanwhile, water vapor shows a shortwave moving into NW OK early
this afternoon with a dryline currently in parts of far western OK
where skies have cleared some and sfc heating is occurring. CAMs
show some storms developing near the dryline late this
afternoon/evening and moving east across the area. The most likely
area for this development to occur will be in west central and
southwest OK and western north TX. This activity is expected to move
east across the fa. These storms could also become severe with large
hail and strong winds the main concerns. However, a tornado or two
also can not be ruled out, especially as the LLJ strengthens. The
potential for severe storms is expected to diminish overnight but
showers and storms will remain possible into Wednesday morning as
the shortwave continues to move across the region.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 302 PM CDT Tue Sep 19 2023

Storms could linger over eastern parts of the fa Wednesday morning
as the previously mentioned shortwave continues to move across the
region and until the LLJ weakens. Models show shortwave ridging
trying to move into the region tomorrow afternoon/evening which
could hinder storm development after Wednesday morning, except for
maybe near a remnant outflow boundary/effective front left from the
overnight/morning convection. Models show the better chance for
storms could be Wednesday evening/night as WAA develops with most of
the activity remaining east of the fa. However, some storms could
develop westward into eastern portions of our fa, mainly E of I-35.
If these storms do occur, a few strong to severe storms may be
possible with hail and wind.

Rain chances increase and become more widespread again on Thursday.
Models show closed low continuing over the western U.S. with a speed
max heading towards the Plains. This will cause a sfc low to develop
in SE CO with a dry line extending from the low. LLJ is expected to
increase across the region Thursday afternoon/evening with
increasing moisture advection. With the approaching speed max and
strengthening LLJ, showers and storms will be possible
Thursday/Thursday night with strong to severe storms possible.
Locally heavy rain will also be a concern.

Showers and thunderstorms will remain possible across at least parts
of the area through the weekend into early next week as the upper
low gradually begins to slowly move east and disturbances move
through the flow. There are some differences in timing of the upper
low. Models also show a cold front moving across the area over the
weekend which would be another potential focus for storm
development.

&&

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 529 PM CDT Tue Sep 19 2023

Showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop through this
evening across portions of north TX and southwestern OK. There's
also a >30% chance of storms developing northwest of OKC and then
moving southeast to near OKC/OUN ~02Z. This has been reflected in
the TAFs. The highest chances for TSRA will be near SPS and LAW
after ~01Z. Strong wind gusts will be possible there, along with
large hail, so we'll be watching for potential amendments.
Expect southeast winds tonight around 10-15 kt. The likelihood
for MVFR cigs appears high enough (> 60%) at PNC by early
Wednesday AM.
