Area forecast discussion, Aug 6, 3:22 AM CDT, 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 322 AM CDT Sun Aug 6 2023 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Today) Issued at 321 AM CDT Sun Aug 6 2023 Showers and storms continue to move across NE OK and will push into NW AR and SE OK over the next few hours. Overall instability is somewhat limited, but one or two marginally severe storms will be possible before the bulk of activity shifts east and southeast of the area between 12z-15z. Dry conditions are expected areawide after 18z. Most areas will see afternoon temperatures in the lower to middle 90s, though far SE OK will still be quite warm with highs near 100. Afternoon heat index values may briefly top out at 105 degrees at a few locations across SE OK, but will not issue an advisory at this time. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Saturday) Issued at 321 AM CDT Sun Aug 6 2023 W-NW flow pattern across the southern plains will remain in place for most of the upcoming week. Several disturbances within the upper flow with result in at least lower end chances for showers and storms most days this week. By Wednesday, temperatures will begin to warm, however, another frontal boundary moving through late Wednesday will result in temps a few degrees cooler for most of the area Thursday before warming back into the middle and upper 90s for most locations late in the week and into the weekend. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1147 PM CDT Sat Aug 5 2023 A thunderstorm complex expected to move from northwest to southeast across the area should affect all the terminals in the first 6 to 9 hours of the valid TAF period, including potential for convective wind gusts and IFR conditions. Latest CAM solutions take the complex a little further south than earlier expected and as a result, have slightly reduced the forecast impacts at the far NW AR sites. VFR conditions and wind speeds of 10 kts or less will prevail outside of the impacts from the complex. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
