.NEAR TERM...
(Rest of today and tonight)
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Thu Jun 25 2026

Thunderstorms and potential severe convection are the main topics
for today and again tonight. Mesoscale section has the pertinent
details of the features to be watched.

For the next few hours, there's a little bit of a lull in the
action. Even so, there will be echoes on radar most of the
afternoon. Areas in northwest and north central Oklahoma will be
primary area to watch, as the combination of instability, shear
and boundaries are maximized there. However, as there are surface
boundaries in several locations from earlier storms...severe
thunderstorms are possible anywhere within the slight risk area.

Rain / thunderstorm chances begin in the next hour in the north,
before drifting west and south by the end of the afternoon.

.SHORT TERM...
(Friday through Saturday night)
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Thu Jun 25 2026

After temperatures in the upper 80s today, Friday and Saturday
will be days where the warmup will begin. Highs will be rise into
the lower 90s on Friday (for most areas) and into the mid to upper
90s by Saturday. Over the past week, we have had dew points in the
70s, and there won't be much relief in the low level moisture,
despite the clearing skies. In other words, the humidity will be
borderline oppressive for both days, but especially on Saturday.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Wednesday)
Issued at 157 AM CDT Thu Jun 25  2026

The main long-term story continues to be the potential for a
consistent and possibly long-duration heatwave across our area.
Global, ensemble, and AI-based guidance all indicate an
amplification of the ridge to our east beginning on Sunday and
lasting through (beyond) the end of the long-term period. Because of
that, precipitation chances are going to be slim to nil during that
timeframe. Not only will air temperatures and heat indices approach
Heat Advisory criteria most days, but overnight lows will be little
relief, sitting near 80 in most spots.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 507 PM CDT Thu Jun 25 2026

Storms are expected to impact most sites between 0-12Z tonight
with MVFR ceilings and lower visibilities. Mainly some mid and
high clouds during the day Friday with south winds becoming quite
gusty across much of the area, lighter winds will continue across
the north with lighter north winds behind a front at WWR.
