The 00Z TAF forecast discussion follows...

AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. VFR conditions will prevail with winds being the main impact to aircraft ops this period. Light and variable winds tonight will become southerly on Monday and will become strong and gusty due to a tightening pressure gradient over the Plains ahead of the next storm system. Gusts 25 to 35 kts will be possible at all sites except KFSM, which should stay sheltered down in the lower Ark River valley. Lacy PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 216 PM CDT Sun Mar 28 2021/ DISCUSSION... Fire weather conditions Monday will be the near term focus. The combination of above normal temperatures, delayed low level moisture return, and persistent low level wind max are all favorable for an increased fire weather concern Monday. Deep mixing along with an increasing pressure gradient will support wind frequent gusts 35 to 45 mph across much of E OK and far NW AR and a wind advisory has been issued for areas along and north of Interstate 44. This general area also looks poised to experience the highest grassland fire spread rates and a fire weather watch has been issued for accordingly. Winds will stay up through the evening hours which will extend a heightened fire weather concern past the typical sunset time frame. Winds will eventually relax somewhat Monday night as the next cold front nears with the front passing through much of the forecast area Tuesday. Again, any ongoing fire suppression efforts could be impacted by the winds shift on Tuesday. Scattered light showers are possible Tuesday afternoon primarily southeast of Interstate 44 with rain and isolated thunderstorm more widespread Tuesday night. Rain chances push south of the forecast area early Wednesday with an expansive region of sfc high pressure settling into the southeastern U.S. by Saturday. The coolest temps locally will be Wednesday with a light freeze possible Thurs morning for the typically colder valleys. The influence of the aforementioned sfc high will maintain dry weather through next weekend as the deep southward push of dry air and persistent sfc ridging through the western Gulf will limit moisture return. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
