(Through Saturday)
Issued at 1245 AM CDT Sat Sep 13 2025
Another warm and low-impact weather day is expected across Oklahoma
and north Texas to begin the weekend. A broad western trough will
continue its slow eastward march through the day. With subtle height
falls and increasing cloud cover, high temperatures will run a few
degrees "cooler" compared to Friday (especially across northwestern
Oklahoma). Another afternoon with an occasionally gusty south wind
is also forecast in response to weak cyclogenesis to the west.

(Saturday night through Monday night)
Issued at 1245 AM CDT Sat Sep 13 2025
While most of Saturday night will be quiet/dry, a few showers and
thunderstorms are possible towards daybreak Sunday across
western Oklahoma.
The upper trough and associated surface reflection/front will be
further east by Sunday. While the focus for precipitation during
this time will extend from the eastern Texas Panhandle into
southwestern Kansas, at least scattered coverage of showers and
thunderstorms appears probable across western Oklahoma and western-
north Texas with time on Sunday. Given increasing upper-level wind
fields/shear and a ribbon of instability progged, a few strong-to-
severe thunderstorms will be possible during the afternoon and
evening hours as well.
The aforementioned upper trough looks to lift northward on Sunday
night, returning the area towards more dominant dry and continued
warm weather by Monday. Temperatures will continue to run in the
upper-80s to low-90s during the afternoon/evening.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Friday)
Issued at 1245 AM CDT Sat Sep 13 2025
Early signs point to continued "warm" (by mid-September standards)
and mainly dry weather next week. The upper air pattern across the
CONUS remains somewhat muddled in grand ensemble guidance, with
potential for an upper trough to migrate across the Northern Plains
during the period. Low chances for rain/storms are currently
advertised on Wednesday into early Thursday across northern portions
of Oklahoma, in response to a trailing surface front from this
feature. Otherwise, temperatures will likely remain in the 80s to
low-90s, running +5-10 degrees compared to seasonal average.

Issued at 1230 PM CDT Sat Sep 13 2025
High clouds will continue to increase across Oklahoma and northern
Texas with scattered afternoon Cu. Rain and thunderstorm chances
will increase across western Oklahoma tonight into Sunday morning.
Will add a mention of rain and perhaps storms mainly after 12Z
Sunday, but the precipitation may arrive earlier. Otherwise, a
southerly wind will prevail with mainly VFR conditions.
