...New AVIATION...
.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 324 AM CDT Thu Mar 19 2020
A strong upper-level wave over northern New Mexico will continue
its rapid east-northeast movement today. The circulation around
the associated surface low over eastern Colorado, then western
Kansas, will cause strong southwest winds across Oklahoma and
parts of north Texas today. The strongest winds will be over the
northwest half of Oklahoma, where we have expanded the existing
Wind Advisory for today.
Meanwhile, rain and thunderstorms will continue this morning and
early afternoon across our southeastern counties (by 7 am, when
this forecast begins, most of the storms should be near or east of
I-35). A Flood Watch issued earlier for a few of our southeast
counties, where the heaviest previous rainfall has occurred, still
appears to be appropriate.
Tonight, a cold front will sweep southeast across Oklahoma and
into north Texas. This will bring much cooler weather back into
the region. Subfreezing temperatures are expected in the far
northwest by Friday morning.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 324 AM CDT Thu Mar 19 2020
After a chilly start to the day, high temperatures on Friday will
be about 20 to 30 degrees (F) colder than today. On Saturday
morning, low temperatures will be near or below freezing across
nearly all our forecast area.
As warmer weather begins its return this weekend, rain chances
will also return Saturday night, as the warm/moist advection
joins forces with another upper-level wave. Severe weather is not
expected with this system.
Low chances of rain will be mainly restricted to the east for the
remainder of the forecast period, where moisture will be more
abundant. A general warming trend is expected early next week.
&&
.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 559 AM CDT Thu Mar 19 2020
A few TSRA will be at or near TAF sites OKC, OUN, SPS early in the
period. Probabilities of rain/storms after about 15Z will be too
low to mention. Winds will increase quickly during the morning at
most sites, and will be quite strong by midday. Speeds will drop
off somewhat toward sunset, but then shift from southwest to
northwest as a strong cold front passes through the region. A few
low clouds will be possible toward sunrise over northern Oklahoma
in the cooler airmass well behind the front.
