.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of tonight)
Issued at 808 PM CDT Sat Oct 25 2025

Low to moderate elevated instability has expanded northward into
the southwest corner of the CWA. While the latest mesoscale 
analysis indicates wind fields remain unfavorable for the
developing activity to become organized, there remains a low
(<20%) chance that one or two cells pulse enough to produce
marginally severe hail. The activity across southeast Oklahoma is
expected to gradually weaken through 09Z as it lifts northeast
while additional showers or drizzle develops closer to the low
center moving along the Kansas border. Earlier PoP updates
accounted for both the increase in storm coverage across southeast
Oklahoma and the showers to the north. Winds remain gusty across 
northwest Arkansas where surface gradient continues to remain
tight with the surface ridge holding in place as a low pressure 
center moves across north Texas. Expect low clouds and areas of 
fog to continue in the resultant easterly flow through the
overnight hours.

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Saturday)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Sat Oct 25 2025

The upper level low and trough axis finally begins to shift east 
of the local region during the day tomorrow. Rain chances will
diminish from west to east during the day tomorrow as the trough
axis moves through the region. Continued cloudiness will keep
temperatures down in the low 60s once again, though some clearing
is expected during the afternoon across southeast Oklahoma leading
to some 70s along the Red River. As this system finally exits,
another system is still progged to follow on its heels, bringing a
cold front through the area early next week. An upper low is
progged to drop southeastward out of the Northern Plains and
become cutoff and intensify over the Ozark Plateau Tuesday into
Wednesday. Moisture return ahead of the frontal boundary will be
very limited in the wake of the current system. Therefore rain 
chances remain low with the frontal passage, with better chances
being south and east of the CWA. A few light showers will be
possible Tuesday into Wednesday, mainly in close proximity to the
upper low across far northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.
Any amounts are expected to be light if any rain does occur.

The bigger impact from the next system remains the likelihood or 
gusty northwesterly winds both Tuesday and Wednesday behind the 
front. Advisory level wind gusts appear possible both days for 
parts of the region with gusts of 40 plus mph. As the system exits
Wednesday, surface ridging will settle into the region Wednesday 
night and as skies clear, lows will drop into the 30s and lower 
40s across the region. Some patchy frost could be possible by 
Thursday morning for some of the normally colder locations. weak 
upper ridging returns for the latter half of the week with a 
warming trend expected into next weekend and dry conditions.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 628 PM CDT Sat Oct 25 2025

With the upper low over north-central OK moving slowly east 
through the period and moist easterly surface flow, there is high
confidence of IFR conditions developing at all sites overnight and
continuing through early Sunday afternoon. Occasionally LIFR
ceilings and visibility are forecast with -DZ toward daybreak 
with continued poor flying conditions through the remainder of the
morning. There is a medium chance that conditions improve to MVFR
across OK TAF sites as the upper low moves into Missouri Sunday 
afternoon.
