.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Sat Jun 29 2024

Dangerous heat conditions are ongoing and will persist through mid
evening. Focus will be on increase storm chances later this
afternoon through the evening primarily across NE OK into far NW
AR. Sfc boundary currently aligned from NW OK into SE KS will be
the focus for storm development within an increasingly unstable
airmass. Short term guidance does steadily increase the effective
shear profiles across the frontal zone this evening so some degree
of storm organization is likely which will raise potential for a
few severe storms capable of large hail and locally damaging
downbursts. Mean storm motions will generally be east to west
which should confine higher precip coverage across the northern
periphery of the forecast area, however a more southward motion or
development should be expected with any brief supercell structure
and outflow focused new storms. The risk of severe weather will
begin to wane by late evening. Locally heavy rains should also be
expected as deep moisture pools along the frontal zone and storm
motions may track in a generally confined corridor.

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Saturday)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Sat Jun 29 2024

Showers and storms may be ongoing early Sunday along the elevated
frontal zone which will slowly focus southward into the region.
The composite sfc boundary / outflows will likely align further
southward across SE OK into western AR by Sunday afternoon.
Additional afternoon storms are likely along the sfc front while
some amount of persistent elevated convection continue further
north. Temperatures are likely to be highly variable across the
forecast area on Sunday with cloud cover and precip along with
frontal gradients all creating uncertainties. Along and south of
the sfc boundary may again approach heat advisory criteria but
will hold off on headlines at this time given wide range of
scenarios.

Sfc boundary gradually loses definition and realigns more north
south across the region on Monday. Upper ridge will begin to
strength overhead however isolated to scattered afternoon storms
are likely along the remnant boundaries. Heat will intensify
Tuesday into Wednesday and heat headlines likely return.

Pattern change expected by late week with ridging aloft expanding
through the western CONUS and downstream troughing aiding a
notable cold front push southward. The front is currently timed to
pass through the local region Friday with increasing shower and
thunderstorm chances and cooler temperatures into next weekend.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 604 PM CDT Sat Jun 29 2024

Storms developing on a front near the KS border have a better
potential of impacting KBVO in the near term, so maintained TEMPO
group for storm impacts there. I also left the VCTS for the other
NE OK sites and the far NW AR sites given recent radar trends
showing storms gradually shifting south. In the wake of the
frontal boundary late tonight, an area of MVFR cigs is expected
across NE OK. There's low potential for some morning shower and
storm activity near the KS border, so included a PROB30 group at
KBVO for the morning hours. Some scattered afternoon storms are
possible farther south on Sunday close to where front will be and
have included PROB30s for KFSM and KMLC.

DISCUSSION...
Dangerously hot and humid conditions have developed this afternoon
and will continue into the evening across much of eastern Oklahoma
and northwestern Arkansas. Heat indices across much of the area have
increased into the 105 to 115 degree range.

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected to develop across
southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma this evening, ahead of a
frontal boundary that will sag southward into the region. These
thunderstorms are expected to move east-southeast, and will likely
affect portions of northwestern Arkansas by late this evening. A few
storms could produce damaging downburst winds, large hail, and heavy
rainfall during the evening hours.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.
SUNDAY and MONDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Dangerous Heat Potential.
TUESDAY...Dangerous Heat Potential.
WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Dangerous Heat Potential.
THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Dangerous Heat Potential...
Heavy Rain Potential.
FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Storm chances expand across eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas
Sunday as a frontal boundary moves southward through the region.
There is a limited risk of severe weather, especially during the
afternoon and evening over portions of eastern Oklahoma and
northwestern Arkansas.

For the first half of next week, hot and humid conditions will quickly
return with dangerous heat potential. Thunderstorm chances increase
again just in time for the Independence Day holiday and will persist
into next weekend.
