...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 219 AM CST Sat Nov 14 2020

Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue to
develop and shift east this morning. Expect most of the activity to
be along and east of I-35/I-44 by mid-morning and will continue to
push into southeast Oklahoma by afternoon. Instability will increase
sufficiently later this morning into early afternoon to go along
with favorable wind fields for some severe storms across southeast
parts of the area. Damaging wind gusts and possible some small hail
would be the main hazards in our area with the stronger storms,
along with the lightning. These storms are expected to be east of
the area by mid-afternoon.

Behind the precip, skies will clear quickly and deeper mixing will
result in very windy conditions as main upper system moves out into
the Plains. A wind advisory will be needed for parts of the area. A
thermal ridge ahead of approaching surface cold front will also
allow temps to rise well above climotological normals with highs in
the 70s and lower 80s. As surface flow veers by midday into the
afternoon, drier air will move in as well. All this will create
critical fire weather conditions across far western Oklahoma into
western north Texas. State of the vegetation will somewhat limit
fire threat, but will go with a Red Flag Warning for far western
Oklahoma south into north Texas.

Winds will continue to veer to the northwest late today into this
evening as a cold front pushes south through the area. Temps will
fall into the upper 20s and 30s across much of the area by Sunday
morning.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 219 AM CST Sat Nov 14 2020

Cooler day expected Sunday, but still not bad with abundant sunshine
and light winds, temps will climb into the upper 50s and lower 60s.

Early part of the upcoming week will be mild and dry as upper ridge
builds east into the Plains with relatively light winds. As we move
into the middle and latter part of the week a more active northern
stream will result in pressure falls across the high Plains and an
increasing south wind. This may elevate fire weather concerns some
by that time as dry conditions continue.

A storm system will be approaching the area by the end of the week
into next weekend with another chance of rain and perhaps some
cooler weather.

&&

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 531 PM CST Fri Nov 13 2020

MVFR conditions in low stratus will be prevalent except in
northwestern Oklahoma until late morning Saturday. LLWS is
expected at most TAF sites early Saturday. Isolated thunder is
possible overnight in scattered rain showers in the southeastern
half of the state. Gusty southwest wind will move into western
Oklahoma Saturday morning and sweep eastward through the
afternoon clearing skies.
