Area forecast discussion, Dec 26, 11:20 AM CST, 2 hours 7 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
1120 AM CST SAT DEC 26 2015

.AVIATION...
SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE BECOMING WIDESPREAD ACROSS
SOUTHERN...CENTRAL...AND NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH
TEXAS. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY EVENING
BEFORE DIMINISHING AND MOVING OUT. OVERNIGHT...A SECOND WAVE OF
PRECIP WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA...WHICH WILL QUICKLY
TRANSITION TO FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW. TIMINGS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN.
CEILINGS WILL BE IFR...SOMETIMES MVFR...THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE TAF
PERIOD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 545 AM CST SAT DEC 26 2015/

AVIATION...
SITES ARE JUMPING FROM MFVR TO AS LOW AS LIFR THIS MORNING. THIS IS
OCCURRING AS MOISTURE CONT TO MOVE NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF
A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT IS LOCATED ACROSS WESTERN/NORTHWEST OK.
EXPECT SOME MINOR IMPROVEMENT BY LATE MORNING... BUT MOST SITES WILL
REMAIN LOWER END MVFR OR IFR. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL ALSO SHIFT
THE SFC WINDS TO THE NORTH AND BECOME QUITE STRONG WITH APPROACHING
40KTS BY AFTN. WIDESPREAD RAIN IS ALSO EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER
THIS MORNING WITH A PERIOD OF TSTM ACTIVITY THIS AFTN AFFECTING MANY
OF THE SITES ALONG I-44 CORRIDOR. SOME FREEZING RAIN/SLEET AND SNOW
WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT WESTERN TAF SITES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING.

30

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 329 AM CST SAT DEC 26 2015/

DISCUSSION...
COMPLEX WINTER STORM STILL MAIN CONCERN THIS MORNING.

CONT TO SEE VERY MOIST AIR MOVING NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA
THIS MORNING... AND A FEW WAA SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS
PORTIONS OF EAST AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA. THIS CONT TO EXPAND AS
WE GO THROUGHOUT THE MORNING HOURS. MEANWHILE A COLD FRONT ACROSS
FAR NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST TODAY. THIS FRONT WILL
BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH THE MOISTURE AND ALONG WITH DAYTIME
HEATING...THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THE I-44
CORRIDOR BY LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTN. SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY
AND WIND SHEAR WILL BE PRESENT FOR A FEW SEVERE STORMS ACROSS
AREAS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF I-44 THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY AND INTO THIS EVENING A RATHER LARGE
BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONT TO IMPACT
PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA WITH ONLY A SLOW
TRANSITION SOUTHEAST. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL AS PRECIPITABLE WATER LEVELS REMAIN IN RECORD TERRITORY.
SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED IN THESE AREAS LATER TODAY
INTO THE DAY ON SUNDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING. A
FEW STRONG STORMS MAY REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA ON SUNDAY.

OTHERWISE... THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL ALSO BRING A ROUND OF
WINTER WEATHER TO MUCH OF THE AREA... ESPECIALLY AS WE GET INTO
LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. ALTHOUGH MODELS ARE RATHER SIMILAR
WITH TRACK OF UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW. THERE ARE SOME RATHER
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES WITH LOW/MID LEVEL THERMAL FIELDS... WHICH
WILL PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN DETERMINING PRECIP TYPE. LATEST
TRENDS KEEP A NOSE OF WARMER AIR ALOFT... WHICH KEEPS WINTRY
PRECIP LIMITED UNTIL WE GET INTO LATE TONIGHT AS SFC TEMPS COOL.
THIS WILL RESULT IN MORE SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN ACROSS MUCH OF
THE WESTERN HALF OF OKLAHOMA INTO WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. THIS MAY
LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY ON SUNDAY WITH ONLY A SLOW EASTWARD
PROGRESSION OF THE SNOW IN FAR WESTERN AND NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA.
THE STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL ALSO
RESULT IN BLOWING SNOW AND VERY LOW VISIBILITIES ACROSS THE FAR
WEST. ELSEWHERE... LOCATIONS WHERE FREEZING RAIN OCCURS... THERE
IS CONCERN WITH THE STRONG WINDS OF DOWNED TREE LIMBS AND
POWERLINES.

AS THE UPPER LOW BEGINS TO LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN TEXAS
INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY... THE COLUMN
SHOULD COOL SUFFICIENTLY FOR A TRANSITION TO SNOW FARTHER EAST.
IT STILL APPEARS THE SNOW SHOULD END ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA BY
MONDAY AFTN.

THERE IS ANOTHER WEAK SYSTEM THAT COULD BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW TO
PARTS OF THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT... BUT IMPACTS FROM THIS SHOULD BE
MINIMAL. THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK LOOKS DRY WITH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPS.
