.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Thursday)
Issued at 200 AM CDT Fri Apr 11 2025

The upper pattern will be predominantly NW flow over the Plains
thru the forecast. A pair of shortwaves will traverse from the Pac
NW southeastward across the country, pushing thru cold fronts
Monday and again on Thursday.

A LLTR expands from the High Plains to the east over the forecast
area Sunday ahead of an approaching front, in response to a
downslope flow regime. As a result, forecast highs are expected to
be the warmest of 2025 thus far, with points from Tulsa and
Bartlesville westward reaching the upper 80s and possibly close to
90. Winds will remain gusty, in the 30 to 35 mph range, which will
raise fire weather concerns to limited (recent rains and green up
limit overall potential).

Cold front pushes thru Monday morning and is expected to come thru
dry. Highs will drop back to near or slightly below average across
the north behind the front. North winds will be gusty for a time
behind the front before backing off toward the end of the day.

Models show a signal for WAA storms Tuesday night into Wednesday
morning with retreating front mainly across NE OK. Storm chances
continue Wednesday night into Thursday with another cold front.
