SHORT TERM

(Through tonight ) Issued at 1228 PM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026

Expanding cluster of showers and thunderstorms currently moving across far southeast OK with a few stronger embedded cells displaying some rotation on the far edge of local area. This will need to be watched over the next couple of hours as it further expands east and north this afternoon in a region of stronger deep layer flow closer to the base of upper level trough. With increasing instability through the afternoon, storms with severe potential should continue to develop into northwest AR and part of northeast OK.

Heavy rainfall potential remains through today for much of the local areas with PWAT near climatological max and persistent low level moisture advection. Thus storms will be efficient rain producers and produce locally excessive rainfall amounts through this afternoon. Most of the above mentioned activity is forecast to shift to the east by this evening.

A somewhat concerning signal has emerged in some of the latest CAM data as instability continue to re-expand north this evening beneath continued relatively strong flow at the base of the upper trough as it slowly lifts northeast. Most CAMs show fairly robust convection breaking out in a corridor across parts of northeast OK and far northwest AR late this evening, and some potentially lingering into early Monday morning. This will not only lead to another round of severe potential, it will also continue the flooding threat beyond 06z expiration of current watch. Thus have expanded the watch til 18z Monday for a couple of counties in NW AR along the MO border, and a few NE OK counties where the strongest signal currently is shown. This may need to be expanded farther south and/or west depending on later trends in data.

LONG TERM

(Tomorrow through Sunday) Issued at 1228 PM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026

Aside from lingering shower and thunderstorm potential during the morning, Monday will be a quieter day as the upper trough continues to move away front he region and upper ridging begins to expand over the Southern Plains. A period of hot and humid weather will ensue for the first half of the week at least, with heat headlines likely needed one or more days given the recent rainfall and it's potential impact on dew points. More unsettled pattern with increased showers and thunderstorm potential is expected to return for the later part of next week as upper ridge weakens with the passage of a strong upper tough across the Northern Plains.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1228 PM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026

Corridor of showers and thunderstorms expected to impact mainly the western AR terminals through this afternoon, with more isolated coverage remaining possible across eastern OK. Additional area of showers and storms appearing more likely from northeast OK and northwest AR late this evening and potentially lingering into early Monday morning. Prevailing conditions will mostly be VFR through the afternoon with pockets of MVFR ceilings, and sig reduced visibility possible with direct thunderstorm impacts. Overall trend to more widespread MVFR expected tonight through much of Monday morning.
