   medium (10-40%) shower/storm chances each afternoon.

   week bringing increasing rain chances and cooler temperatures

   various disturbances move nearby the local region.

.SHORT TERM...
(Through tonight)
Issued at 1147 AM CDT Mon Sep 15 2025

Another hot and humid afternoon is in store across the area as
temperatures warm into the 90s areawide and heat index values
approach 100 degrees in some locations. Scattered showers and storms
will once again be possible this afternoon, mainly across northwest
Arkansas where terrain enhancements will help spark off some storms
in the heat of the day. Forecast thermo profiles show a well mixed
boundary layer which could lead to some gusty winds within any storm
that can develop. Severe weather remains unlikely owing to the lack
of deep layer shear over the region, but some gusts of 40-50 mph
can't be ruled out with the stronger cells. Storms will likely
linger toward sunset before gradually declining after sunset with
the loss of heating. Another unseasonably warm night is forecast,
with lows mainly in the mid 60s to lower 70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Monday)
Issued at 1147 AM CDT Mon Sep 15 2025

Broad ridging will remain in place over much of the CONUS through
Tuesday. With little change in the overall pattern, much of the same
is expected on Tuesday as that of previous days. A subtle impulse
moving near the region could potentially spark off more numerous
showers/storms tomorrow afternoon across much of eastern Oklahoma
and western Arkansas. Thus, have adjusted PoPs westward somewhat
from the NBM to cover mention throughout the CWA tomorrow afternoon.
Severe weather is still unlikely, but again gusty winds and brief
heavy downpours will be the main impact with any storms. Upper
troughing then begins to impinge on the central CONUS by Wednesday,
leading to increasing precip chances, mainly across eastern Oklahoma
on Wednesday with slightly cooler temperatures.

Troughing becomes more entrenched over the Central Plains on
Thursday with much of the guidance lingering the upper low throughout
the Plains through the weekend. This will likely push a frontal
boundary into the area late Wednesday into Thursday, with more
widespread shower and storm chances expected through the end of
the workweek. Severe chances remain low, but a few strong to
marginally severe storms will be possible in this timeframe.
Damaging winds will be the main concern with any stronger storm
that can develop. Added cloud cover and precip in the area will
also lead to more seasonable temperatures, mainly in the 80s,
through the rest of the period as well. At least low rain chances
will continue through the weekend as various disturbances move
around the parent upper low lingering over the Central Plains.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1240 PM CDT Mon Sep 15 2025

Isolated to scattered showers and storms are forecast this
afternoon into early evening over mainly northwest Arkansas. Gusty
to locally strong winds, brief heavy rainfall, and brief MVFR
conditions will be capable within any thunderstorm development.
Will continue Prob30 groups for timing of greater potential.
Otherwise, scattered to broken mid and high clouds are anticipated
into this evening and become mainly high clouds tonight into
Tuesday morning across the CWA. Like this morning, there remains
a potential for reduced visibility again for KFYV early Tuesday
morning. Thus, will continue a Tempo group for timing. Outside of
any storm impacts and early morning fog for KFYV, VFR conditions
are forecast for the TAF period.

much of Eastern Oklahoma.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...This Afternoon.

HEAVY RAIN.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Far Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...This Afternoon.

DISCUSSION...
Scattered thunderstorms will be possible across portions of far
eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas this afternoon. A few
storms could be strong to marginally severe, with damaging wind
gusts the primary threat with the strongest storms. Storms will
also pose a threat of heavy downpours and lighting through the
early evening hours. Storms should gradually diminish near and
after sunset.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Local Spotter Activation May Be Needed.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.
TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Afternoon and evening thunderstorm development is again expected
on Tuesday across mainly far eastern Oklahoma and into western
Arkansas. Toward the middle to latter part of this week, multiple
rounds of thunderstorms are expected as an upper level trough
moves into and lingers across the central United States. While a
very low chance of severe weather will exist during this time
frame, an increased potential for heavy rainfall currently
appears to the more substantial threat. The potential for isolated
thunderstorms will extend into the weekend.
