...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of today )
Issued at 1045 AM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024

Forecast remains on track for numerous thunderstorms to develop
along and southeast of Interstate 44 this afternoon and evening.
Conditions are supportive of very large damaging hail and locally
damaging winds especially with early day storms. A tornadic risk
may also develop with the more sustained cellular but low level
shear values are shown to decrease this afternoon before
increasing again by early evening. Storm mode may largely impact
tornadic potential. Updated forecast made minor adjustment to
thunderstorm chances and included mention of severe potential.

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Wednesday)
Issued at 348 AM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024

A cold front will be near Interstate 44 by the start of this
period, and will accelerate southeast through the evening hours.
Storm coverage and intensity will lessen with time this evening,
with most of the activity exiting the area by midnight.

Cooler temperatures will follow the frontal passage for Friday
with some lingering cloudiness at least through the morning. A
brief warmup will occur Saturday ahead of the next cold front due
to arrive Saturday night and early Sunday morning. A few showers
will be possible Saturday night across parts of southeast
Oklahoma, but rainfall amounts look to remain on the light side.

Cooler temperatures will return Sunday and Monday, with a freeze
possible in some places Monday morning. The return of south winds
will bring a quick warmup Tuesday ahead of the next storm system
that may affect the area by next Wednesday night and Thursday.
