.SHORT TERM...
(Through tonight)
Issued at 1223 PM CDT Thu Sep 25 2025
Today has turned out to be a very pleasant, chamber of commerce
weather day across eastern OK and western AR. Surface high pressure
remains west of the area early this afternoon, which continues to
usher in a light to modest northerly breezy. Tranquil conditions
will persist through the remainder of the afternoon and into this
evening, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures reaching the mid-
upper 70s to lower 80s. With a drier airmass in place, temperatures
will drop-off fairly quickly after sunset. Overnight lows tonight
will trend towards seasonal average, generally mid-upper 50s to
lower-60s in spots.
Lastly, patchy to areas of dense fog may develop again late tonight
into early Friday morning across eastern portions of the forecast
area, especially across far northeast OK and far northwest AR,
despite low probabilities of dense fog (10-30% chance of
visibilities dropping below 1/2 mile) from both SREF and HREF. For
now, added patchy fog to these areas, but widespread dense fog
cannot be ruled out with ideal fog conditions in place for these
locations.

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Thursday)
Issued at 1223 PM CDT Thu Sep 25 2025
Southerly winds return by tomorrow morning and upper-level riding
will continue building into the region. Ridging looks to remain
intact over the forecast area through at least the middle part of
next week as an omega blocking pattern sets up over the central
CONUS by this weekend. Persistent, strong ridging aloft looks to
keep rainfall and any mesoscale boundaries unlikely through the
entire long-term period. As such, temperatures will gradually warm
into the upcoming weekend. After near seasonal temperatures on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday will rise above average and are forecast
to be the warmest days of the long-term period with widespread
afternoon highs reaching the low-mid 80s and upper 80s west of
Highway 75 both days. Surface ridging will build northeast of the
forecast area by early next week, keeping winds fairly light, but
veering more out of the east-southeast or east. Temperatures will
stay near or just above normal through Thursday.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1223 PM CDT Thu Sep 25 2025
Scattered largely diurnal cloudiness should prevail through the
afternoon, with ceilings likely to remain VFR. Fog development
remains expected for the W AR terminals, with visibilities under a
mile most likely at FYV/XNA/ROG. toward sunrise. A low chance of
similar fog development exists at BVO, but confidence is not high
enough to include in that TAF at this time. VFR conditions can be
expected areawide by mid to late morning tomorrow.
