Area forecast discussion, Nov 6, 5:25 AM CST, 1 hour 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 525 AM CST Mon Nov 6 2017 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. IFR ceilings will continue to develop across most of eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas and persist into tonight. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 354 AM CST Mon Nov 6 2017/ DISCUSSION... After above normal and a few record high temperatures on Sunday, it is going to feel a bit like winter over the next few days, with a good deal of clouds, and temperatures which will be 10 to 20 degrees below normal, through at least mid week. Low clouds have gradually been expanding to the west overnight, with drizzle ongoing across southwest MO and perhaps far northeast Oklahoma. Persistent east/northeast low level flow is expected through at least the next 24 hours. This will keep temperatures pretty uniform across the area, with not much diurnal change today. Low clouds will likely fill in over most of the region with light showers developing across far eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Tonight, the temperature forecast is dependent on the amount of cloud cover. There may be more clearing from the west late tonight or breaks in the overcast that would allow the temps to drop, but otherwise, most locations should stay in the mid 40s to lower 50s. Another northern stream shortwave trough will pass to our northeast on Tuesday, with light rain chances continuing across southeast Oklahoma and Arkansas. A stronger storm system will move east from the northern Rockies on Wednesday, spreading rain east across the central and southern Plains, with some snow mixed in for the High Plains. Precipitation should end by Wednesday night, and we'll finally have a couple warmer days by Thursday/Friday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
