Area forecast discussion, Nov 10, 2:18 PM CST, 1 hour 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
218 PM CST Wed Nov 10 2021

...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, UPPER AIR...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 206 PM CST Wed Nov 10 2021

An upper-level wave and surface frontal system will move east
across our forecast area this evening, bringing chances for
thunderstorms, some likely severe, and a breezy, cooler night.

Moderate instability and moderate vertical wind shear will
support strong to severe storms, with the usual wind/hail threats.
Hodographs are not overly impressive, but a few (relatively) weak
tornadoes will be possible this evening with any supercells that
develop, and with the QLCS that is expected to develop shortly
after sunset.

Once the cold front passes through, breezy north to northwest
winds will bring cooler weather, and an end to rain/storm chances.

CmS
&&

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 206 PM CST Wed Nov 10 2021

Dry northwest flow (aloft) will be the rule through Monday. A wave
in the flow may bring a few showers to north-central Oklahoma late
Thursday night/very early Friday, although any showers that occur
will be brief, and generally light.

The cooler weather will include low temperatures around freezing
Saturday morning. As the forecast stands right now, most of the
area that is expected to reach freezing has already had a freeze
this season. However, none have had a "hard" freeze, so
Frost/Freeze headlines will likely be needed once the area is
better-defined.

The remainder of the forecast period should feature mainly
clear/dry weather with a slow warming trend.

CmS
&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1138 AM CST Wed Nov 10 2021

Low-level moisture continues to stream north ahead of a storm
system approaching from the High Plains region. This is causing
low ceilings across much of Oklahoma and north Texas. There will
be a chance for thunderstorms (some probably severe) late this
afternoon into the late evening, mainly east of KEND-KSPS,
shifting east with time. As a cold front sweeps across the region
this evening, clearing will follow, along with gusty northwest to
north winds.
