AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
311 PM CST THU JAN 23 2014

.DISCUSSION...
TWO MAIN ISSUES FOR THE TULSA CWA OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. FIRST...
THE COLD AND THEN THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRES. SPRAWLING HIGH PRESSURE
WILL SETTLE OVER THE AREA TONIGHT ALLOWING THE WINDS TO GO NEARLY CALM.
THIS COMBINED WITH THE CLEARING SKIES WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP
INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS A GREAT DEAL OF THE AREA. THE WINDS WILL
BEGIN TO INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST LATE TONIGHT CREATING SUB-ZERO
WIND CHILLS ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. HAVE ISSUED A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS
OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS BEGINNING AT MIDNIGHT AND
RUNNING THROUGH MID-MORNING FRIDAY. WIND CHILL VALUES WILL BE IN THE -5 TO
-10 RANGE IN THE ADVISORY AREA AS THE SOUTHWEST WINDS INCREASE.

THE NEXT CONCERN IS THE FIRE POTENTIAL ON FRIDAY. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE
FIRE WEATHER WATCH ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS FOR FRIDAY AS THE SOUTHWEST
WINDS INCREASE INTO THE 15 TO 20 MPH RANGE WITH GUSTS AROUND 35 MPH. THERE
IS A VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA ON FRIDAY AS
WELL BUT HAVE OPTED NOT ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH AT THIS TIME.

A WARM UP IS EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND EVEN THOUGH ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL
SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA ON SATURDAY. A MORE SIGNIFICANT COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED ON SUNDAY WHICH WILL KNOCK TEMPERATURES BACK BELOW NORMAL THROUGH
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. IN FACT...THE RETURN OF SINGLE DIGIT LOWS
WILL BE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY MORNING AS ANOTHER SURFACE HIGH SETTLES OVER
THE AREA.
