...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of this afternoon )
Issued at 231 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2023

Weak sfc boundary/shear axis across far NE OK and NW AR
this afternoon will be the primary focus for scattered
storms into the evening. Isolated storms will remain possible
elsewhere. Strongest activity may pose a marginally severe wind
threat before activity dissipates this evening with the loss of
daytime heating. Additional storms are expected to develop NW of
the area late tonight and form into a complex as it moves E-SE.
These storms may start impacting parts of far NE OK around
sunrise. Severe wind potential will exist with the leading edge of
the complex.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Friday)
Issued at 231 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2023

The aforementioned complex will continue to move further into E OK
and NW AR tomorrow morning, along with the potential for severe
winds along the leading edge. Some weakening may take place by
late morning, but at a minimum, residual outflow boundaries will
allow for additional convection for the afternoon across SE OK and
WC AR. Severe potential will be higher across far SE OK as any
heating will further destabilize the atmosphere. Most of this
activity should clear the area during the early evening.

An upper level trough diving out of the high plains will push a
cold front towards the area Saturday night. Chances for showers
and storms will increase Saturday night, with the highest chances
across far NE OK and NW AR starting after midnight. The higher
chances will remain across NW AR Sunday as an impulse rotates
through in the W-NW flow aloft. The cold front will clear the area
by late Sunday afternoon or early evening and settle across TX for
the next few days, resulting in cooler temperatures  Monday into
Tuesday. Upper split flow pattern develops next week with a west
to east oriented southern stream over the southern plains. The
frontal boundary to the south looks to lift north as a warm front
around mid week. Several disturbances within faster flow along
with a boundary in the vicinity will result in chances for
isolated to scattered storms for locations along and ahead of the
warm front during that time frame.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1233 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2023

Isolated afternoon storms expected across E OK terminals with
scattered to numerous storms forecast nearer the NW AR terminals.
A gradual decrease in coverage is expected after sunset. Late
tonight additional storms will spread into NE OK and continue
eastward through Saturday morning. Away from immediate storm
impacts VFR conditions are expected to prevail.
