   back up after midnight tonight and will continue off and on

   half of next week, with cooler and eventually drier conditions
   expected to arrive behind a cold front for the middle to
   latter part of next week.

.SHORT TERM...
(Through Saturday night)
Issued at 107 PM CDT Fri Sep 19 2025
Expect mainly quiet weather in the wake of the morning MCS through
this evening. After midnight, showers and storms will begin to
develop across SE KS down into NE OK in a waa regime within NW
flow aloft, with a loosely organized MCS to eventually evolve and
drop southeast across NE OK and NW AR into Saturday morning.
Isolated to widely scattered storms are expected Saturday
afternoon mainly along and west of an outflow boundary laid out by
these storms. There will be a limited severe threat with these
storms. CAMs and global models hint at more nighttime storms near
the KS border Saturday night and the possibility of another
southeastward moving MCS into Sunday morning.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 107 PM CDT Fri Sep 19 2025
Models have a wave slowly traversing across the region in a more
zonal flow Sunday into Monday, keeping higher storm chances in
the forecast. Ensemble data from 00Z still suggests that the more
likely scenario will be for an upper low to develop/organize over
the central Plains by the middle of next week in a split-flow
blocking pattern over the CONUS. A cold front is now expected to
push through the region sometime Tuesday, with an associated
uptick in rain/storm chances followed by cooler and drier
conditions for the middle to latter part of next week. That said,
there are other possibilities that still carry a meaningful
percentage of ensemble solutions, such as upper low dig farther
west or upper low no dig, which would have implications on the
forecast. There`s also the possibility that the upper low sits and
spins overhead or nearby for longer, prolonging the transition to
drier weather.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 613 PM CDT Fri Sep 19 2025
Mainly quiet aviation conditions expected for the evening and much
of the overnight hours. Winds will be light wind scattered clouds.
A few areas of patchy fog could develop, especially near KFYV if
clouds remain thin enough.
Near dawn an area of showers and thunderstorms will move into
northeast OK bringing periods of heavy rainfall, lightning, and
locally gusty winds (15-25 kts). Some reductions in visibility
(2-4 SM) and ceilings (3-5 kft) may occur under heavier storms.
These storms will then move into northwest AR by mid morning with
similar impacts. Some guidance brings additional storms into the
area for the afternoon but the probability is too low to include
in the TAFs at this time.
