AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
411 AM CST MON JAN 26 2009
.DISCUSSION...
A COMPLICATED WINTER WEATHER SCENARIO IS UNFOLDING ACROSS THE
AREA. COLD AIR IS ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH PLENTY
OF ROOM FOR EVAPORATIONAL COOLING ONCE PRECIPITATION COMMENCES
THIS AFTERNOON. THE TREND IS TOWARDS COLDER TEMPERATURES
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA WHICH REQUIRES HEADLINES AREA
WIDE. HEADLINE TYPE AND WHEN TO EXPIRE THE HEADLINES ARE A MAJOR
HEADACHE. FOR NOW WENT WITH A WINTER STORM WARNING ROUGHLY NORTH
OF INTERSTATE 40 WITH AN ICE STORM WARNING TO THE SOUTH. A WINTER
STORM WATCH WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT IN
FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA WHERE SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER
WITHIN A DEGREE OR SO FO FREEZING EITHER WAY.
HAVE CONVERTED THE ICE STORM WARNING IN FAR NORTHWEST ARKANSAS TO
A WINTER STORM WARNING DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY THAT FREEZING RAIN
WILL BE THE PREDOMINANT PRECIPITATION TYPE THROUGH THE EVENT. THE
INITIAL ACTIVITY THERE WILL LIKELY BE A FREEZING RAIN/SLEET
MIX...WITH SLEET PREDOMINANT DURING CONVECTIVE BURSTS THIS
EVENING. A CHANGEOVER TO MAINLY FREEZING RAIN MAY THEN OCCUR
OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY BEFORE SLEET ONCE AGAIN BECOMES MORE
PREDOMINANT LATER TUESDAY. THEY WILL PROBABLY MEET BOTH ICE STORM
CRITERIA AND WINTER STORM CRITERIA WITH SLEET.
WE ENVISION MAINLY A SLEET EVENT TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST OF
TULSA...A MIX THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND MAINLY
FREEZING RAIN IN THE ICE STORM WARNING AREA. EVEN THERE...A
CHANGEOVER TO SLEET MAY OCCUR BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION ENDS.
EXPECT TWO SIGNIFICANT ROUNDS OF PRECIPITATION...ONE FROM MID
AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING AND A SECOND FROM VERY LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH LATE TUESDAY OR TUESDAY NIGHT. AT THIS TIME...PREFER THE
ECMWF AND UKMET ON THE SLOWER CUTOFF TO THE PRECIPITATION OVER THE
GFS AND WRF/NAM. FOLLOWED HPC CLOSELY ON QPF THROUGH THE EVENT.
IN THE EXTENDED...GENERALLY WENT WITH A GFS/ECMWF BLEND. KEPT
TEMPERATURES ON THE COOL SIDE UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEK DUE TO
EXPECTED SLEET/ICE COVER. ONCE IT WARMS UP BY THE WEEKEND...AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES APPEARS LIKELY.
FOLLOWED THE ECMWF AND WRF/NAM MOST CLOSELY ON TEMPERATURES THE
NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL AS MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA. .DAY ONE...TONIGHT. NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER EXPECTED. DISCUSSION...

MONDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL. TUESDAY...WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL. WEDNESDAY...WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL. THURSDAY...NO HAZARDS. FRIDAY...NO HAZARDS. SATURDAY...NO HAZARDS. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... SIGNIFICANT AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY BEGINNING MONDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING THROUGH TUESDAY. LIGHT FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA BY MID DAY MONDAY...AND EXPAND EASTWARD INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS AND ASSOCIATED WIDESPREAD IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THIS WILL BE THE FAVORED TIME FRAME FOR BANDS OF FREEZING RAIN SHOWERS AND SLEET TO DEVELOP...INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS. THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO WILL ALLOW FOR RAPID ACCUMULATIONS OF ICE AND THE CORRESPONDING ONSET OF ICE RELATED IMPACTS. PORTIONS OF FAR NORTHWEST ARKANSAS APPEAR MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THESE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION RATES WHERE BOTH TOPOGRAPHY AND ABUNDANT TREE COVER WILL FURTHER ADD TO THE TRAVEL AND UTILITY IMPACTS. THE HIGHER CONFIDENCE OF A CRIPPLING ICE STORM IS THE REASON THAT AN ICE STORM WARNING FOR MUCH OF NORTHWEST ARKANSAS HAS BEEN ISSUED. ADDITIONAL WINTER WEATHER WARNINGS AND/OR ADVISORIES WILL BE ISSUED FOR MUCH OR ALL OF THE WATCH AREA LATER TONIGHT OR MONDAY MORNING AS DATA MORE CLEARLY SHOWS WHAT IMPACTS ARE MOST LIKELY. BEYOND TUESDAY...THE FORECAST REMAINS A LITTLE UNCERTAIN WITH THE LATEST DATA SUGGESTING THE WINTER STORM MAY SHIFT FURTHER EAST AND SOUTH A LITTLE FASTER THAN PREVIOUS FORECASTS INDICATED. BUT STILL SOME LIGHT WINTRY MIX OR SNOW FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY IN AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 44. DRIER AND WARMER WEATHER EXPECTED FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT... PREPARATIONS FOR SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE NEARING COMPLETION...AND STAFFING SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR AN EXTENDED RESPONSE ESPECIALLY OVER PORTIONS OF FAR NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
