.NEAR TERM...
(Rest of today and tonight)
Issued at 1211 PM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025
Lingering clouds continue across western and central Oklahoma from
this morning`s showers and virga. No further precipitation is
expected. Highs today will approach 90 in the Oklahoma portion of
our area and exceed 90 in the Texas portion of our area. A dramatic
expansion of the subtropical ridge will occur tonight. The ridging
argues for a mostly quiet/dry night with warm lows in the low 60s. A
possible exception is closer to the trough in north central
Oklahoma, where there is a weak CAM signal for elevated showers
again.

.SHORT TERM...
(Thursday through Friday night)
Issued at 1211 PM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025
Large-scale ridging will continue to completely dominate the eastern
2/3 of the US on Thursday and Friday. That will make the first few
days of October continue to feel much less like October and much
more like summer. Not seeing a coherent signal for any precipitation
during the short-term period, with highs again sitting around 90
both days. The most noticeable sensible weather outside of the
warmth will be the breeze, especially near the 100th meridian. Seems
reasonable to assume 10-15 knot winds in northwest Oklahoma Friday
with peak gusts getting over 20 knots.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 1238 AM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025
Model guidance remains consistent in tracking a shortwave trough across
the Intermountain region and into the central and northern Plains
Saturday into early Sunday. With better forcing remaining north,
rain and storm chances will remain low (less than 20 percent)
across northern Oklahoma. However, this system may push a cold
front into or close to northern Oklahoma by late Sunday into early
Monday morning. This would bring a better chance of precipitation
to northern parts of Oklahoma. Models diverge by early next week
with the strength and position of a mid-level ridge. Regardless,
there still appears to be a low chance (20%) of showers/storms
across mainly southeast Oklahoma and western and northern Oklahoma
Monday into Tuesday.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1227 PM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025
All of our terminals should remain under VFR conditions through
the entire forecast period. A surface low lee of the Colorado/New
Mexico Rockies will keep surface winds out of the south around
10-15 kts with gusts up to 20 kts across a couple of our
terminals in western Oklahoma through 01Z. Surface winds will back
southeast around 5 kts after 01Z then veer south at 10 kts
gusting up to 15 kts after 16Z. One exception is a weak pressure
gradient across southeast Oklahoma will keep surface winds light
& variable through the entire period across terminal KDUA.
Terminal KPNC could see scattered light rain around 12Z although
that probability is too low to be entered in the TAF.
