.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 610 AM CDT Thu Apr 2 2026

 - Severe weather chances winding down overnight.

   especially across northeast Oklahoma.

 - Additional round of strong to severe thunderstorms Friday
   evening with increasing heavy rainfall potential.

 - Cooler and drier conditions Sunday into early next week.

.SHORT TERM...
(Through Thursday)
Issued at 1053 PM CDT Wed Apr 1 2026

Broken line of storms extending from near BVO to OKC metro and
back into northwest TX continues to slowly progress eastward, with
lingering potential for sporadic strong wind gusts with some
embedded bowing segments as low level shear has strengthened over
the past few hours. However the thermodynamic environment ahead
of the storms trending less favorable with time and eastward
extent. Thus the severe threat will continue diminishing through
the night. Localized heavy rainfall of 2-4" estimated across parts
of Osage and Pawnee counties and some additional threat of
localized heavy rain exists, but flooding potential remains low
due to antecedent dry conditions.

Upper level shortwave will continue to move east across the
Central Plains overnight through Thursday with persistent strong
low level jet, and sfc low tracking eastward across Kansas. This
will spur an increase in south-southwest winds later tonight into
Thursday with gusts 30-35 mph likely. A few advisory level gusts
will be possible across northeast OK and higher terrain areas to
the east as well. Low level airmass doesn't change much Thursday
afternoon save for some mixing of dry air in parts of northeast
OK. Given this the RH should remain high enough to largely offset
any fire weather concerns. The upper trough axis remains in close
enough proximity to keep a low potential for a few shower or
thunderstorms Thursday, but most areas will likely remain dry.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday Night through Wednesday)
Issued at 1053 PM CDT Wed Apr 1 2026

Low level moisture will surge north again Thursday night into
Friday as an upper low moves across the Central/Northern Rockies
and low level southerly flow re-strengthens. Warm advection
regime will keep the potential for a few showers or thunderstorms
Thursday night into Friday. More robust and widespread
development expected by Friday afternoon along a cold front that
will enter northeast OK and surge southeast during the evening
and overnight hours. Severe weather potential will increase during
this period, with wind gusts likely becoming the main hazard
given the linearly forced nature of the convection. This period
will also likely feature an increase in heavy rainfall potential.

A cooler and drier airmass will push south behind the front
Saturday with ridging over the western CONUS eventually expanding
over the Southern Plains early next week. The result will be quiet
weather for much of next week with temperatures starting out
a bit below average for the weekend, then trending gradually
upward through the week.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 610 AM CDT Thu Apr 2 2026

Showers will continue eastward across NW AR terminals through mid
morning while pockets of MVFR ceilings possibly persist area wide
until late morning. Gusty winds expected through the day. Low
chance of showers and storms redeveloping near NW AR this
afternoon but any higher chances currently appear further east of
the local terminals so no mention included. Expect low clouds to
make a rapid spread northward late tonight into Friday morning.
