.DISCUSSION...

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH 00Z. HIGH
CLOUDS WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT WITH SOUTH WINDS BECOMING STRONG
AND GUSTY AFTER 12Z.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1100 AM CST FRI DEC 12 2008/

DISCUSSION...
COOL BUT SUNNY WEATHER WITH LIGHT WINDS TRANSLATES INTO A
RELATIVELY NICE AFTERNOON. WHILE MIXING WILL BE RATHER LIMITED IT
APPEARS THAT AMPLE SUN SHOULD PUSH TEMPS NEAR OR A LITTLE ABOVE 50
IN MOST AREAS WITH EXCEPTION OF FAR NW ARKANSAS. MAY NEED TO RAISE
FORECAST HIGHS A TAD OVER PORTIONS OF SE OKLAHOMA WHERE A FEW
MESONET SITES ALREADY IN LOW 50S. ASIDE FROM THAT TODAYS FORECAST
LOOKS GOOD.

12Z GFS JUST COMING IN HAVE TRENDED BACK TOWARD A COLDER
SOLUTION FOR NEXT WEEK. WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THE 12Z
ECMWF HAS TO OFFER BUT THE COLD SOLUTION SEEMS MORE REASONABLE
WITH THE SHALLOW ARCTIC REMAINING IN PLACE WITH AT LEAST SOME
POTENTIAL FOR WINTRY PRECIP THROUGH THE PERIOD. STAY TUNED.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 530 AM CST FRI DEC 12 2008/

DISCUSSION...

AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD WITH SCATTERED HIGH CLOUDS INCREASING.
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE THIS EVENING
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
SHIFTS EAST OF THE REGION WITH TIGHTENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT AHEAD OF NEXT COLD FRONT.

AVIATION=12

PREV DISCUSSION...
FIRST 36 HOURS A BREEZE...THEN STEEPLY DOWNHILL.
SURFACE HIGH OVERHEAD SLIDES EAST TODAY TONIGHT.
RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW GETS GUSTY SATURDAY WITH
HIGH EAST AND DEVELOPING LEE LOW WEST.  SLIGHT
CHANCE PRECIP SATURDAY NIGHT BUT  BETTER CHANCE
SUNDAY AS FRONT APPROACHES.  COLD FRONT BARRELS
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...AND PAVES THE WAY FOR A
MODIFIED ARCTIC INTRUSION.

SUNDAY NIGHT WEATHER GRID FEATURES ALL POSSIBILITIES
SNOW...SLEET...FREEZING RAIN...RAIN. ANY PRECIP THAT
FALLS MONDAY WILL BE OF THE WINTRY VARIETY...HOWEVER
LATEST MODELS INDICATE BULK OF THE PRECIP WILL BE OVER
BY DAYLIGHT MONDAY.

FORECAST CONSENSUS AND MOMENTUM OF THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS HAS BEEN FOR THE ARCTIC AIR TO LAST AT LEAST
INTO MID WEEK. HOWEVER LATEST DATA SUGGESTS A WARMER
SOLUTION. THIS LEADS TO A FORECAST DILEMMA OF CHANCE
POPS WITH MESSY MIXED PRECIPITATION TYPES TUESDAY INTO
THURSDAY. WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT MODEL AGREEMENT...SPECIFICITY
IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. WAIT AND SEE IS ABOUT THE ONLY
REASONABLE ACTION AT THIS TIME.

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL AS
MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.
NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION NOT EXPECTED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
SATURDAY...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
SUNDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
STRONG SOUTH WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH ARE EXPECTED
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN ADVANCE
OF A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT LATE SUNDAY MAINLY FROM NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS THROUGH SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS ARE ANTICIPATED IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WITH QUICKLY FALLING TEMPERATURES AS A SHALLOW BUT VERY
COLD ARCTIC AIRMASS MOVES IN. THERE MAY BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF WINTRY
PRECIPITATION BEHIND THE FRONT...THE MOST LIKELY AREA TO SEE ANY
ACCUMULATION OF ICE WOULD BE EXTREME NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A
SIGNIFICANT EVENT AS MOISTURE WILL BE PUSHED EAST RATHER QUICKLY
MONDAY MORNING.

THERE REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE EVOLUTION OF THE
COLD AIR INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK AND THE SUBSEQUENT
WINTER WEATHER. IT APPEARS THAT THE COLD AIR WILL REMAIN
ENTRENCHED OVER THE AREA FOR SEVERAL DAYS WHILE SEVERAL UPPER
DISTURBANCES MOVE ACROSS THE REGION IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
THUS...PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THROUGH MUCH OF THE
WEEK.

THE WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT TRAVEL
PROBLEMS ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS INTO NEXT
WEEK. THE FORECAST WILL CONTINUE TO BE REFINED AS THE TIMING AND
SEVERITY OF THE POTENTIAL WINTER WEATHER BECOMES MORE CERTAIN.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
EMERGENCY MANAGERS SHOULD PREPARE NOW FOR SEVERAL PERIODS OF
WINTRY WEATHER NEXT WEEK...AND SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR LATER
FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO RAMP UP PREPARATIONS QUICKLY SHOULD
LATER FORECASTS INDICATE SIGNIFICANT WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL.
