.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of today)
Issued at 1039 AM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024

Complex of showers and embedded thunderstorms continues to slowly
spread eastward into parts of eastern Oklahoma. Coverage and
intensity trends have been down over the last hour or two with the
loss of the low level jet and a more stable airmass in place over
northeast Oklahoma this morning. Nevertheless, scattered showers
with some thunder should continue into the early afternoon before
dissipating as activity tracks further eastward. A couple of
strong to marginally severe storms cannot be ruled out, mainly
near and south of I-40 where more destabilization has occurred
owing to more sunshine this morning. The strongest activity
through the rest of the morning and early afternoon should track
along a theta-e gradient/axis extending from south-central
Oklahoma northeastward into parts of southeast Oklahoma. Heavy
rainfall will be the primary threat with ample moisture in place
over the region, along with some gusty winds.

Uncertainty still exists in the evolution of thunderstorm chances
later in the day as we wait on current activity to wane. Most CAM
guidance continues to indicate additional thunderstorm development
along a weak surface boundary within the broad upper level trough
axis across northeast Oklahoma later this afternoon and evening.
Current satellite trends do show some clearing beginning to hedge
eastward across north-central Oklahoma/south-central Kansas. If
enough sun can break through this afternoon, then sufficient
recovery should allow for this scenario to unfold, with possibly
multiple rounds of storms setting up along the boundary this
evening as the low level jet again intensifies and low level
moisture advection increases into the region. A couple of strong
storms will be possible during this time as well, though the
overall severe threat remains low at this time.

For the update this morning...adjusted PoP's/thunder grids to
account for the latest trends, along with some tweaks to
temperatures and sky grids as morning cloud cover should help
hold temperatures down several degrees across eastern Oklahoma
this afternoon.

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Saturday)
Issued at 248 AM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024

Thunderstorm potential should continue tonight into Monday while
expanding east with time, as Beryl makes landfall along the TX
Gulf Coast Monday and moisture increases across eastern sections.
Heavy rainfall will remain a possibility tonight, particularly in
locations affected by multiple rounds of storms, and become
focused across southeast OK and western AR Monday night and
Tuesday due to the potential impacts of Beryl.

A dry period will ensue in the wake of the tropical system into
mid week, trough with a general weak upper trough in place at
least isolated chances may persist. Temps early in the week
should remain below normal, but summer is likely to return by next
weekend with the upper ridge expanding back into the plains. Nice
while it lasted.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024

Confidence remains low in the evolution of current convection
along with the potential for redevelopment later this afternoon
and evening. Current complex of showers with embedded thunder
should move east of NE OK sites over the next hour with some
lingering showers making it to NW AR sites by mid afternoon.
Better organized thunder will move over KMLC through mid afternoon
with some reductions in VSBYs likely. Later this afternoon and
evening, additional thunderstorm development is possible first
across NE OK along a boundary before chances shift southeastward
through the night. Overall, confidence in widespread
redevelopment before 03Z has decreased as morning storms have
hung around. MVFR cigs are also expected to build in late tonight
into tomorrow as moisture from tropical storm Beryl moves this
way. More showers and possibly some thunder will be possible
during the day tomorrow, especially across AR sites associated
with the tropical system.
