Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for McCord, OK

NEAR TERM
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 125 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025

The quasi-stationary front/outflow boundary produced by tonight's thunderstorm complex will be the focal point for additional storm development today, with the boundary anticipated to be near or just north/south of the I-40 corridor by early afternoon. With the main upper vorticity maxima departing with tonight's activity and a very subtle secondary shortwave approaching, the activity today and this evening are expected to be primarily diurnally-driven.

Strong instability (4000+ J/kg), 0-6km bulk shear of 30-40knots, steep mid-level lapse rates is anticipated just south of the boundary. Thunderstorms that develop are expected to become severe with large hail (2+ inches) and damaging wind gusts (60-70 mph)
possible. Effective SRH (150-250 m2/s2) near the boundary could be sufficient for a brief tornado or two. The severe risk extends into late evening with storm activity diminishing before midnight.

SHORT TERM
(Thursday through Friday night)
Issued at 125 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025

The upper ridge then moves over the plains and winds become predominantly southerly by Thursday with increased south winds on Friday. Hot and dry conditions are expected.

LONG TERM
(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 125 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025

Warm, breezy, and dry conditions continue over the weekend. Low shower and storm chances return early next week as an upper trough moves over the western CONUS.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1212 PM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025

MVFR/VFR ceilings this TAF period. Additional scattered showers/storms will be possible this afternoon/evening, mainly in parts of southern OK and western north TX. Strong variable winds and hail will be possible with some of the storms. Due to a boundary over the area, with additional boundaries possible due to outflow, shifting winds are expected into tonight. However, winds should overall become southerly Thursday morning.
