.NEAR TERM...
(Rest of tonight)
Issued at 1141 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025

A line of storms is expected to continue to move through the
western and central of the area tonight into Monday morning.
Strong to severe wind gusts may accompany this line as it moves
through the area. By sunrise, most of this activity should be
south of the area, although there may be some lingering showers
until mid morning. The remainder of Monday should be mostly dry
with highs into the mid 80s to low 90s. Overnight lows Monday into
Tuesday will dip down into the upper 60s to low 70s.

.SHORT TERM...
(Monday through Tuesday night)
Issued at 1141 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025

Tuesday will begin our warming trend as a mid-level ridge moves
closer to the southern Plains. Afternoon highs will get up to the
low to mid 90s across the entire area. There is a low chance of
thunderstorms to move off the central Plains Tuesday afternoon and
evening, but confidence in this activity is too low to warrant any
mentionable precipitation chances.

Wednesday will be even warmer with highs in the mid 90s to low
100s. Heat indices are expected to be in the 105-110F range for a
good portion of the area, so if this trend continues, would expect
heat products to be issued across much of the area. Once again,
we will remain dry through Wednesday.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through next Sunday)
Issued at 1141 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025

During the long term, we will see increased temperatures across
the whole area as a mid-level ridge hangs out to the west. 850mb
temperatures will begin to increase as the low-level thermal ridge
strengthens. Southerly surface flow will continue to advect low-
level moisture into the area with a potential for dangerous heat
indices towards the end of the week. Any precipitation chances
will be contingent on the progression of the ridge and any
developing shortwaves. Northwesterly flow aloft can bring an
increased potential for overnight convection off the High Plains.
As of right now, the forecast remains dry, but some longer range
guidance suggests that the the ridge breaks down by the end next
weekend with the potential for cooler temperatures and additional
rain chances.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1228 AM CDT Mon Aug 4 2025

A thunderstorm complex moving across central and southern
Oklahoma will impact terminals at OKC/OUN/LAW/SPS with gusty
winds and MVFR conditions. Most of the precipitation is expected
to end by 8Z at these sites. There is a lower chance of storms in
and around PNC/SWO, but MVFR conditions are possible if storms
occur. The precipitation has ended at WWR/CSM and mainly VFR
conditions will prevail at these sites. If the storms hold
together, they may impact the DUA site after 9Z.
