KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 238 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

- Showers/storms possible this afternoon through overnight, especially across parts of northern OK. Some of the storms could be severe.

- Potentially strong storms will be possible again Tuesday afternoon and evening.

- Rain/storm chances continue through the rest of the week into next weekend.

NEAR TERM

(Rest of today and tonight) Issued at 238 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

Although winds and convergence are relatively weak, the pressure analysis continues to show a weak boundary across northern Oklahoma winding back to a surface low in southeastern Colorado. Some cumulus has begun to form near this boundary in Oklahoma and some showers and storms may develop in this area late this afternoon and this evening. Sufficient instability is developing along this area to support strong to potentially severe storms as SPC mesoanalysis is showing 2000-4000 J/kg of mixed-layer CAPE as well as weakening convective inhibition. Winds shear is low given the relatively weak wind field in low and mid levels, so expect storms to be pulse storms in general, although some of the storms last night showed more persistence.

Additional thunderstorms are currently developing over the Colorado High Plains with upslope flow over Kansas and eastern Colorado. Some of the CAMs suggest these storms or additional development tonight in western Kansas may develop into a storm complex that moves toward northern Oklahoma overnight. These storms will also have severe weather potential, especially for the potential of wind.

SHORT TERM

(Tuesday through Wednesday night) Issued at 238 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

Low-level flow tomorrow (such as around 850 mb) is more backed and this shifts the low-level thermal axis farther to the west, and a surface boundary (rather it be a synoptic front and/or an outflow boundary is expected to move south through the area. So temperatures are not expected to be quite as warm tomorrow compared to today. But with this boundary in the area, thunderstorm development is expected again in the afternoon with the focus shifting south with the front through the day. There will be the potential for strong to severe storms as well, but this potential will be dependent on how things evolve overnight and early Tuesday.

With this surface boundary shifting to the south and a broad area of upslope flow onto the High Plains north of the boundary and a shortwave trough approaching in the weak southwest flow aloft, shower and thunderstorm chances increase Tuesday night into Wednesday across the west with storms or a storm complex moving in from the High Plains late Wednesday afternoon or Wednesday night.

LONG TERM

(Thursday through Sunday) Issued at 132 AM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

Active pattern will continue with showers/storms remaining possible across at least parts of the area for the rest of the week into next weekend. With the rain/clouds, temperatures are expected to remain around average for early June for the rest of the week into the weekend as well.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1201 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

Light south to southeast winds will continue across the area today and tonight. Scattered thunderstorms are possible to develop across northern into central OK this afternoon into this evening, with potential for gusty and erratic winds in vicinity of thunderstorm activity. A storm complex is expected to approach northern Oklahoma from Kansas late overnight into tomorrow morning. In addition to storms potentially affecting north central Oklahoma, any outflow from this complex will result in variable wind direction.
