Area forecast discussion, Dec 7, 2:54 PM CST, 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
254 PM CST WED DEC 7 2005
.DISCUSSION...
MOST OF THE FOCUS OF THIS FORECAST REMAINS IN THE FIRST 18 HOURS
WHERE WE HAVE WINTER PRECIPITATION AND BITTERLY COLD TEMPERATURES.
THE UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE LARGEST PRECIP AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST ZONES WHERE 2 TO 4 INCHES OF
SNOWFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE BEFORE ENDING LATE TONIGHT. THIS AREA WILL
CONTINUE TO SEE THE STRONGEST WARM ADVECTION AND THE BEST MOISTURE.
WHILE WE HAVE SEEN A MIX OF SLEET AND SNOW IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST SECTIONS DURING THE AFTERNOON...WE EXPECT PCPN TO BE ALL
SNOW BY 00Z OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER. 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE OVER NORTHERN OKLAHOMA...NEARER TO THE UPPER LOW...
TAPERING OFF TO ONE INCH OR LESS OVER CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. LITTLE MORE
THAN FLURRIES IS EXPECTED IN THE FAR SOUTHWEST DUE TO THE LIKELIHOOD
OF GETTING DRY-SLOTTED. WE EXPECT THE SNOW TO BEGIN ENDING FROM WEST
TO EAST EARLY THIS EVENING...WITH SNOW MOVING OUT OF CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA BY AROUND MIDNIGHT... BUT LINGERING IN THE SOUTHEAST INTO
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.
THE OTHER BIG ISSUE WILL BE THE BITTER COLD. ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL
NOT BE EXCESSIVE... WE DO BELIEVE THEY WILL REMAIN HIGHER THAN THE
MODELS FORECAST AT THE SURFACE... SAY IN THE 15 TO 20 MPH RANGE
WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 25 MPH AT TIMES. WITH SINGLE DIGIT
TEMPERATURES... WIND CHILLS ARE EXPECTED TO APPROACH -20 OVER
NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND -5 TO -15 OVER CENTRAL AND THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEST DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. AS A RESULT WE WILL ISSUE
A WIND CHILL WARNING TONIGHT... INTO PART OF THURSDAY MORNING...
FOR NW OKLAHOMA WITH WIND CHILL ADVISORIES OVER THE CENTRAL AND
REMAINDER OF THE WEST.
IN THE LONGER TERM... THE COLD WEATHER WILL GRADUALLY MODIFY
THROUGH FRIDAY. THERE WILL BE COUPLE UPPER WAVES IN THE NORTHWEST
FLOW MOVING THROUGH THE AREA BY THE WEEKEND AND AGAIN EARLY NEXT
WEEK. WHILE THESE SYSTEMS COULD BRING IN SOME COOLER
TEMPERATURES... AT THIS POINT.... IT LOOKS LIKE MOISTURE WILL BE
INSUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT ANY MEASURABLE PCPN.
