.SHORT TERM... (Through tonight) Issued at 1230 PM CDT Sun Sep 7 2025
Quiet conditions are likely across E OK and NW AR today and tonight under the influence of sfc high pressure. High clouds within the NW flow will continue to stream into the area, but plenty of sunshine is expected this afternoon. Combined with light winds, another pleasantly cool September day is in store for the region with highs in the lower 80s and overnight temps in the 50s.

.LONG TERM... (Tomorrow through Sunday) Issued at 1230 PM CDT Sat Sep 7 2025
Overall, the extended forecast looks to remain mostly uneventful, though recent guidance has slightly ticked up precip potential for parts of NE OK Monday into Tuesday. The upper air pattern through mid week features ridging across the southwestern states and N Mexico, and troughing over the eastern US. This will maintain NW flow aloft for the central and southern Plains. High pressure will gradually shift east over the next couple of days, allowing for the return of low level southerly flow and increasing moisture. A subtle wave embedded within the NW flow is forecast to navigate into the plains Monday into Tuesday.
Latest CAMs suggest convection will be impacting portions of S KS during the day Monday... mostly dissipating as it nears the increasingly stable airmass over our CWA. Some showers or weak storms cannot be ruled out over far NW parts of the FA tomorrow afternoon/ evening, but will keep PoPs just below mentionable at this time. As the wave remains in the vicinity and mid-level moisture expands into the area Monday night into Tuesday morning, isolated to scattered convection will be possible along the moist axis extending into NE OK. Most ensemble members suggest QPF will remain light, with CAMs indicating spotty coverage... though low PoPs were expanded slightly to account for this potential. Some guidance suggests periodic additional low rain and storm potential through mid week (mainly in NE OK), but overall, predominantly dry conditions are expected at this time given the increasing influence from upper level ridging. Temperatures gradually warm back to near or slightly above average by mid-late week... generally in the 80s/

.AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 523 PM CDT Sun Sep 7 2025
VFR conditions will prevail through the period at all sites, with largely mid and high clouds expected. Southerly winds will increase late morning tomorrow at the NE OK terminals in response to a disturbance moving through the Central Plains. Expect gusts through the afternoon from 15 to 20 kts. The gusts may drop off during the last couple of hours of the TAF period but will not include a separate FM group showing that just yet.
