SHORT TERM

(Through tonight ) Issued at 1214 PM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

Isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon into early evening, mainly from southeast Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas. A limited severe weather threat will exist with these storms, mainly in the form of damaging winds. Once the storms dissipate this evening, dry weather is expected overnight, with low temperatures ranging from the mid 60s to lower 70s.

LONG TERM

(Tomorrow through Monday) Issued at 1214 PM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

Mainly dry weather is expected Tuesday through Thursday, with only low...below mentionable levels...chances for an isolated diurnal shower or storm each afternoon over the higher terrain areas. Temperatures will increase by Wednesday and Thursday, and heat headlines may be needed in some places, especially by Thursday.

Shower and thunderstorm chances will return by late Thursday night through the weekend, with the better chances Friday night into the weekend, as a weak surface boundary moves into the area. Temperatures will cool slightly at this time, but will remain near or slightly above the seasonal averages.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1228 PM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

Aside from any impacts related to thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, VFR conditions are likely to prevail through the forecast period for all sites. Greatest shower and thunderstorm chances exist across SE OK and W-Central AR through 02z. Potential was high enough to maintain the PROB30 group at KFSM, but too low for all other sites. Amendments may be required elsewhere. Storms may produce sudden strong wind gusts as well as brief heavy downpours and locally reduced vsbys. Convection will trend down this evening before dissipating/moving out of the region tonight. Winds remain light through the forecast period.
