.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 301 AM CDT Fri Aug 23 2024

Heat and humidity will be on the increase again today. The strong
upper high will range southwest to northeast across Oklahoma.
Temperatures are expected to be several degrees higher this
afternoon than on Thursday and surface moisture a little higher as
well, except in the southwest. Slightly lower dew point temperatures
are expected in southwestern Oklahoma and south of the Red River
today, which will increase fire weather potential. Given heat index
values at or higher than 110, we will add a strip of counties in
south central Oklahoma to the Excessive Heat Warning. Fire
conditions will warrant a RFD in much of western Oklahoma and south
of the Red River. Very low pops exist mostly in northern and western
Oklahoma for an isolated thunderstorm later today. Strong wind gusts
would be possible.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 301 AM CDT Fri Aug 23 2024

Saturday will be another hot and humid day likely
requiring heat advisories again. However, from late weekend and into
next week, there are signs that the strong upper high over Oklahoma
will drift eastward and/or diminish somewhat. By midweek, weak
southwesterly flow is expected over the central and part of the
southern plains. This will make it less likely that heat headlines
will be needed. Additionally, rain chances increase modestly by late
in the week.

&&

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 522 AM CDT Fri Aug 23 2024

VFR ceilings with mid and high clouds except for KDUA where low
VFR, possibly MVFR, ceilings are expected. A few showers/storms
could affect KPNC and KSWO early this morning but chances are too
low for mention in TAF. Breezy/gusty winds from the S and SE
expected.
