Area forecast discussion, Apr 2, 12:10 PM CDT, 3 hours 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Norman OK 1210 PM CDT Mon Apr 2 2018 .AVIATION... Generally MVFR ceilings will persist today with some clearing in the northwest. Overnight, clouds will lower into the IFR category at the southern and eastern TAF sites. South winds will increase this afternoon and remain gusty through the night. Day && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1032 AM CDT Mon Apr 2 2018/ UPDATE... Added patchy fog to southeast counties. Removed mention of patchy freezing drizzle. DISCUSSION... Visibilities have dropped to around 3 miles at several sites in south central Oklahoma. With moisture advection and a deep moisture layer mixing down, expect this fog to persist through the day. Models are struggling with todays high temperature, giving solutions with a spread of more than 10 degrees Fahrenheit at places. Persistent stratus will it hard to warm up much this afternoon. Continuing with the current forecast that trends a bit more toward the NAM and HRRR with cooler temperatures. Day PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 603 AM CDT Mon Apr 2 2018/ AVIATION... 02/12Z TAFs. MVFR conditions expected to dominate forecast at most locations through the entire forecast period. Patchy drizzle or light showers will be possible near KOKC/KOUN early in forecast but confidence on impacts too low to mention. VFR conditions will be possible around KWWR and KCSM for several hours after 18Z as lower level flow veers and drier air works in from the Panhandles. This will likely be short lived as moisture shifts back west this evening ahead of a cold front. Strong southerly winds will develop through the day, with strongest winds across far western Oklahoma. Strong cold front will pass over KWWR toward end of forecast period bringing strong north winds and clearing skies. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 436 AM CDT Mon Apr 2 2018/ DISCUSSION... Freeze warning was expanded southward to include areas that are near and below freezing this morning. Also extended the warning in time by an hour for slower recovery expected. It appears likely that there will be even a more widespread freeze on Wednesday morning so additional freeze warnings will be needed. With the current warning in effect, we will not be issuing a warning or watch for Wednesday morning, to avoid confusion. A watch/warning will be issued later today or tonight. Freezing drizzle has been slow to develop this morning, but there are indications on radar and stratus spreading northeast from southwest/central Texas is evident of moisture advection and weak isentropic lift. Still think that we could see some patchy freezing drizzle early this morning, mainly over central parts of Oklahoma. However, impacts are very uncertain and with temperatures hovering right at freezing, no widespread problems are expected. If the mid-20 air that we see over western Oklahoma was over the OKC metro, it would be a different story as far as potential impacts. Mentioned above, we will have another cold surge on Tuesday which will allow freezing temperatures to be an impact Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. In addition, winds are expected to be quite strong behind Tuesday's front. Wind advisory level winds appear likely across at least the northern and western portions of Oklahoma for the first half of Tuesday. Yet another strong front appears possible Friday into Saturday, which could yield freezing or near freezing conditions over portions of the region. Outside of drizzle and perhaps light showers today into tonight, scattered storms will be possible tomorrow morning as the strong front passes through southeast parts of Oklahoma. Any strong or severe storms should stay well east of our area. Storms return to forecast late Thursday and Friday associated with the next frontal boundary and associated northwest flow wave. With this pattern, severe weather will be unlikely and rainfall amounts on the light side. Elevated fire weather conditions will be possible late this afternoon across northwest Oklahoma as drier and warmer air combines with the gusty south winds. The window for these elevated conditions will be brief. The strong northerly winds on Tuesday will keep fire weather conditions elevated to critical over western Oklahoma into western north Texas. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
