.SHORT TERM... (Through tonight ) Issued at 1216 PM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025
Well above normal temperatures and plenty of sun in most places will prevail this afternoon, with little in the way of impact weather. That should continue into tonight, with signals for widespread valley fog much lower than in previous nights. HREF probabilities for visibilities under a mile are 5 percent or less through 7 am tomorrow. As such, no fog mention will be included for late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning at this time.

.LONG TERM... (Tomorrow through Wednesday) Issued at 1216 PM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025
Besides the aforementioned lack of fog in the forecast, the other forecast challenge Thursday morning is the very low to low potential for showers in the western fringes of mainly Osage and Pawnee counties near to just after daybreak, resulting from a passing wave. NBM probabilities for rainfall are under 5 percent, and this forecast will feature a slight upward adjustment to 10 percent given CAM output. If this signal persists, addition of mentionable POPs may be necessary later today. Widely scattered thunderstorm potential Thursday afternoon remains more likely to the east of the forecast area, although both CAM and synoptic model output is enough to keep the 20 percent chance advertised by the NBM across areas just east of I-49 in the official forecast. Highs Thursday will likely reach 90 degrees in several locations.
Toward the weekend, upper level ridging will build into the area, bringing a multi-day stretch of dry weather and continued well above normal temperatures. Highs will flirt with 90 degrees again in favored locations in eastern Oklahoma and the Arkansas River Valley on most days through at least Sunday and possibly into Monday.
The ridge looks to break down on the north to northwest side for the early part of next week as upper level troughing in the west approaches. With the southwesterly upper level jet positioned near but still north and west of the area, only low shower and thunderstorm chances mainly across northern parts of the area currently look to result. An infusion of moisture from the south into portions of Arkansas could also aid in low rain chances in the east Conditions should be cooler by mid week, albeit still a bit above normal.

.AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1216 PM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025
VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period. Patchy fog may again develop near lakes and rivers in NW AR Thursday morning, with some chance that a light east wind may temporarily advect some over KROG around sunrise...likely to a lesser degree that observed this morning. Expect an increase in mid clouds across northeast OK early Thursday morning with a non-zero chance of a light shower or two.
