Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Meeker, OK

NEAR TERM
(Through Tuesday)
Issued at 146 AM CDT Tue May 26 2026

The southern periphery of a mid-level wave will move closer to the southern Plains today, as the larger scale trough moves southward along the California coast. Height falls attendant to the base of the trough will give way to increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms across far southwestern Oklahoma and western north Texas beginning this morning. Precipitation chances will spread eastward and increase through the day. A few of these storms may be strong, with gusty winds and small hail and the primary hazards.

Increasing cloud cover from west to east through the day will keep afternoon highs a few degrees cooler than Monday.

SHORT TERM
(Tuesday night through Thursday night)
Issued at 146 AM CDT Tue May 26 2026

The southern edge of the aforementioned mid-level trough will detach and become more of a shortwave by Tuesday evening into Wednesday. Additional large scale ascent associated with this feature will help maintain thunderstorm chances through Wednesday across much of the area. As the shortwave moves into Kansas, the precipitation chances will shift the north. Given the instability, there is a chance that a few storms on Wednesday may be strong enough to produce small hail. With increased cloud cover and rain chances on Wednesday, highs will generally stay in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Height rises are expected Thursday in the wake of the shortwave trough. In turn, this may limit precipitation chances through the latter half of the day. Cloud cover will stick around during the morning and will slowly clear out during the afternoon. Afternoon highs on Thursday will be a few degrees warmer than on Wednesday.

LONG TERM
(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 146 AM CDT Tue May 26 2026

Another weak shortwave will move across the southern Plains Friday, which will provide enough lift for thunderstorms late Friday into Saturday (from west to east). Beyond Friday, there is a little more uncertainty regarding the pattern across the southern Plains. The larger scale trough across the western US is expected to lift into northern portions of the US. Across our area, there may be weak mid- level perturbations which will promote additional thunderstorm chances through the weekend. Other model solutions would suggest mid- level ridging, which promotes dry and warmer weather. For now, will keep the mention of thunderstorms through the weekend until models are in better agreement.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 535 AM CDT Tue May 26 2026

Increasing scattered shower and storm chances through the day today from southwest to northeast. PROB30s were included given the scattered nature of storms. Any storms that develop will be capable of gusty and erratic winds. Storm chances will continue overnight tonight with a potential line or cluster of storms moving east northeast across the area. Once again a PROB30 was utilized for now given the uncertainty in exact timing and location of the storms during the overnight hours. Ceilings may drop overnight with storms and remain MVFR to IFR ceilings through Wednesday morning.
