.NEAR TERM...
(Through Monday)
Issued at 1230 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025

Numerous thunderstorms have developed along a stationary boundary
draped across northern Oklahoma this evening, supported by a
modest south-southwesterly low-level jet nearly perpendicular to
the boundary. Ample atmospheric moisture (PWATs 1.7-1.9"), along
with training of storms over the same areas, will lead to a
continuation of flooding concerns along this corridor over the
next several hours. Localized amounts of 3-5" have already been
reported, with flash flooding ongoing in some areas. Several more
inches of rain are possible in some spots before activity
diminishes later this morning. In addition to the flash flooding
threat, the stronger storms will be capable of damaging wind
gusts, possibly in excess of 70 mph.

There will likely be a lull in shower and thunderstorm activity from
late morning through mid afternoon before another round of storms is
expected to develop along the outflow/frontal boundary. Highest
storm chances will be along and northwest of the I-44 corridor
during the afternoon and evening, with activity then likely
weakening as it drifts southeastward across the rest of the area
overnight. The stronger storms will be capable of gusty winds and
heavy rainfall with localized flooding a concern once again.

.SHORT TERM...
(Monday night through Wednesday night)
Issued at 1230 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025

Shower and storm chances continue into Tuesday and Wednesday, though
overall coverage is expected to decrease during this period as
troughing begins to weaken and forcing becomes more nebulous. As of
now the highest PoPs (20-40%) are centered across central and
southeastern parts of the area. Temperatures will remain on the
cooler side of average with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s each
day.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 1230 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025

Upper ridging will begin to rebuild across the southeastern US as we
head into the end of the week into the weekend. This should lead to
a rebound in temperatures, with highs pushing near or slightly
above seasonal averages (mid to upper 90s) by Saturday and Sunday.
Rain/storm chances are expected to decrease during this period
but not disappear altogether as the center of the upper ridge will
be far enough from the area to allow for at least slight chances
(10-20%) for storms to continue into the weekend.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 620 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025

An outflow boundary associated with widespread convection across
northern Oklahoma overnight will continue to push southward this
morning before stalling. Widely scattered showers and
thunderstorms will continue through about 15Z with lingering
clouds through the day. Additional thunderstorms will redevelop
this afternoon, perhaps along and near a SWO to CSM boundary. MVFR
to perhaps IFR ceilings and visibility will occur with the
stronger storms this evening and overnight.
