.SHORT TERM...
(Today)
Issued at 1238 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will persist through much of the
overnight hours as the low level jet carries warm and moist air into
the region. Good low level convergence near a west-east boundary in
southeast OK will continue to focus precipitation. A few isolated
severe storms, mainly for hail and wind, will remain possible,
though the overall trend should be for less severe weather with
time. Locally heavy rainfall could result in some pockets of flash
flooding. Patchy fog may also develop in areas with clearer skies,
such as near the OK-KS border. Low temperatures will mostly be in
the mid 60s to near 70.
Showers and storms will continue Monday, especially across southeast
OK and northwest AR. Overall the intensity and coverage should be
less than yesterday as weak shortwave ridging temporarily moves in.
Afternoon temperatures will be warm, most likely ranging from the
upper 80s in southeast OK to the lower 80s in northwest AR. Some CAM
guidance suggests lower temperatures if low clouds hang on into the
afternoon. This was accounted for by slightly lowering forecast
temperatures beneath NBM guidance.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 1238 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025
A robust upper level trough will arrive late Monday into Tuesday.
This trough will feature good upper level diffluence and relatively
strong mid to upper level flow, resulting in sufficient wind shear
for storm organization. A well defined low level jet will also
facilitate good low level warm advection and moisture advection.
Thunderstorms will blossom in this setup, some of which are likely
to become severe. Wind will almost certainly be a threat, with hail
likely in any strong discrete cells. Low level wind fields support
at least some QLCS tornado threat as well. Some of the CAM guidance
shows redevelopment Tuesday afternoon with additional severe weather
possible along and ahead of the cold front. In fact, upper level
flow is even more strongly curved than during the morning storms. If
sufficient destabilization can occur, supercell development could
result in a more significant severe weather event. This potential
will be monitored closely.
In addition to the severe weather potential, the precipitation
Tuesday morning may focus preferentially along some corridor. If
this does occur, training storms would also pose a flash flood
threat. There is uncertainty, but it does appear the most likely
area for heavy rain will be near and north of I-40. In this zone a
widespread 1-3" may fall late Monday into Tuesday, with locally up
to 5" or so. Areas of river flooding may also develop depending on
the rainfall footprint.
Lingering shower activity will continue Wednesday and possibly
Thursday for areas further east, with dry weather for the remainder
of the forecast. Temperatures will cool Tuesday under the heavy
precipitation, with widespread mid to upper 70s by Wednesday. High
temperatures will remain mostly in the 70s to low 80s through the
end of the forecast period. Low temperatures will drop into the 50s
to low 60s. This will represent temperatures near to slightly below
normal for this time of year.

(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1238 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025
Scattered storm ongoing across west central AR will continue
eastward however a chance for additional development exists
overnight across SE OK through western AR. Further north across NE
OK and far NW AR there will be pockets of locally dense fog and/or
IFR/LIFR ceilings through sunrise. Flight conditions are likely to
improve area wide through the morning w/ storm chances decreasing
and fog and low ceilings eroding. Isolated to scattered afternoon
storms may again develop across the region but chances appear too
low to mention at this time for specific terminals. The next
widespread storm coverage is expected to arrive just beyond this
forecast period.
