.NEAR TERM...
(Rest of today and tonight)
Issued at 238 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

Although winds and convergence are relatively weak, the pressure
analysis continues to show a weak boundary across northern
Oklahoma winding back to a surface low in southeastern Colorado.
Some cumulus has begun to form near this boundary in Oklahoma and
some showers and storms may develop in this area late this
afternoon and this evening. Sufficient instability is developing
along this area to support strong to potentially severe storms as
SPC mesoanalysis is showing 2000-4000 J/kg of mixed-layer CAPE as
well as weakening convective inhibition. Winds shear is low given
the relatively weak wind field in low and mid levels, so expect
storms to be pulse storms in general, although some of the storms
last night showed more persistence.

Additional thunderstorms are currently developing over the
Colorado High Plains with upslope flow over Kansas and eastern
Colorado. Some of the CAMs suggest these storms or additional
development tonight in western Kansas may develop into a storm
complex that moves toward northern Oklahoma overnight. These
storms will also have severe weather potential, especially for the
potential of wind.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Tuesday through Wednesday night)
Issued at 238 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

Low-level flow tomorrow (such as around 850 mb) is more backed
and this shifts the low-level thermal axis farther to the west,
and a surface boundary (rather it be a synoptic front and/or an
outflow boundary is expected to move south through the area. So
temperatures are not expected to be quite as warm tomorrow
compared to today. But with this boundary in the area,
thunderstorm development is expected again in the afternoon with
the focus shifting south with the front through the day. There
will be the potential for strong to severe storms as well, but
this potential will be dependent on how things evolve overnight
and early Tuesday.

With this surface boundary shifting to the south and a broad area
of upslope flow onto the High Plains north of the boundary and a
shortwave trough approaching in the weak southwest flow aloft,
shower and thunderstorm chances increase Tuesday night into
Wednesday across the west with storms or a storm complex moving in
from the High Plains late Wednesday afternoon or Wednesday night.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 132 AM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

Active pattern will continue with showers/storms remaining possible
across at least parts of the area for the rest of the week into next
weekend. With the rain/clouds, temperatures are expected to remain
around average for early June for the rest of the week into the
weekend as well.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 627 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

Isolated thunderstorms are occurring this evening, but currently
are not very close to any of the TAF sites. The storm potential at
KCSM, KWWR, KOKC and KOUN are not zero this evening, but are too
low to include a prob30 group. But strong and gusty winds will be
possible near any thunderstorms are occurring.

Other thunderstorms developing over western Kansas are expected to
spread southeast this evening and overnight, and there is enough
potential at KPNC and KSWO to include prob30 groups for these
storms late this evening into Tuesday morning. Gusty winds will be
possible near these thunderstorms as well.

Apart from thunderstorms, VFR conditions are generally expected.
