AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
250 PM CDT SUN OCT 23 2005

.DISCUSSION...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER WESTERN KANSAS AND NEBRASKA
THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE SETTLING TO THE SOUTH DURING THE NIGHT.
MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING TEMPS/FROST OVER
THE AREA. RIDGE AXIS WILL REMAIN TO THE WEST OF THE AREA...BUT
STILL EXPECT WINDS TO GENERALLY DECOUPLE OVER THE REGION.

QUESTION WILL BE CLOUDS CURRENTLY OVER MISSOURI AND EASTERN KANSAS
THAT ARE DROPPING TO THE SOUTH. STILL ENOUGH MID/UPPER LEVEL
CYCLONIC FLOW OVER THE REGION THAT EXPECT THESE CLOUDS TO MOVE ON
IN AND HINDER COOLING IN THE EAST. FOR NOW HAVE OPTED TO CONFINE
FREEZE WARNING FOR TONIGHT TO JUST A FEW COUNTIES IN THE NORTHWEST
PART OF THE AREA AND LET EVENING SHIFT EXPAND IF NECESSARY BASED
ON EVENING TRENDS. WILL MENTION POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST SOME PATCHY
FROST OVER MOST AREAS.

LOOKS LIKE QUIET WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
FORECAST. A FEW MORE CHILLY NIGHTS IN STORE...BUT TEMPS EXPECTED
TO RETURN TO MORE SEASONAL NORMS FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK
INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
