(Through Thursday)
Issued at 1246 AM CDT Thu Sep 11 2025
Becoming hotter today under a building upper ridge with above normal
temperatures.  All of our forecast area will see highs in the lower
to mid 90s which will be about 3-5 degrees warmer than climatically
normal for early September.

.SHORT TERM...
(Thursday night through Saturday night)
Issued at 1246 AM CDT Thu Sep 11 2025
A persisting hot forecast Friday into the start of the weekend with
lower to mid 90s highs and south-southwest winds.  Well see sunny
skies at least on Friday.  Our upper ridging starts breaking down on
Saturday as a large amplitude trough across the western half of the
U.S. starts digging into the Southern High Plains.  It will be more
cloudy on Saturday with increasing mid to high level moisture coming
up from the southwest through the trough.  Saturday could be a
degree or two cooler than on Friday due to some potential cloud
cover. Energy from the first of a series of mid-level shortwaves
propagating through the trough could bring some rain with a weak
elevated thunderstorm into western Oklahoma late Saturday night.
Best chances for surface-based strong convection on Saturday would
be further west on the panhandles although can`t rule out a few of
them tracking into western Oklahoma as well.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Wednesday)
Issued at 1246 AM CDT Thu Sep 11 2025
The main trough axis starts moving in Sunday with POPs increasing
across northern and west-central Oklahoma and parts of western north
Texas.  Northwest Oklahoma may remain unstable enough for a
thunderstorm although mostly rain precipitation, much of it enhanced
as well during the morning hours by a low-level jet. POPs across our
west will gradually decrease as Sunday afternoon progresses although
instability could be sufficient for a few afternoon thunderstorms as
well.  Models suggest an Omega blocking pattern in the upper flow
across the northern half of the country with very weak ridging down
and over the Southern Plains next week. The weak ridging will keep
our temperatures slightly above normal early next week.  Models also
suggest the upper low over the western U.S. of this blocking system
opening as a trough and start digging into the Central & Southern
Plains by mid-week bringing a return of rain/storm chances to our
area.
