.SHORT TERM...
(Through tonight )
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

Cool temps again tonight with sfc high settling over the region
and clear skies. Valley locations of SE OK and western AR will
likely fall into the mid 30s. Any late night fog will again be
isolated and variable in density.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Sunday)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

Dry and mild conditions continue through Wednesday. Weak
reinforcing cold front keeps low dewpoints in place through
Tuesday with increasing winds on Wednesday marking the ensuing
warm up and associated moisture return.

Cold front moves into southern KS by late Thursday. Showers and
storms along this boundary may move into portions of NE OK
Thursday afternoon into Thursday night but southward advance is
uncertain keeping rain chances low at this time.

The pattern aloft will become increasing unsettled by late week
and continuing through next week. Multiple shortwave troughs are
forecast to eject across the Plains downstream of a slow moving
upper low tracking slowly across the southwest CONUS through
early next week. Additionally, low level moisture will steadily
increase across a broad sector of the southern Plains and multiple
periods of showers and storms are expected. Details regarding
severe weather potential will be better defined with later
forecasts, however the likelihood of some flooding potential does
increase with the expectation of multiple periods of high rain
chances.
