Area forecast discussion, Nov 4, 2:30 PM CDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 230 PM CDT Fri Nov 4 2022 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday) Issued at 228 PM CDT Fri Nov 4 2022 The cold front responsible for today's active weather will be exiting our forecast area this evening, bringing the chance for severe weather further to the south and east. Behind it, an Arctic airmass is in place with temperatures already in the low 40s per regional observations. Lingering showers will be likeliest in a developing deformation band in northwest and north Oklahoma shortly after sunset. The upper-level low will be directly stacked over this band, and with very cold air aloft most mesoscale models indicate that some of the precipitation will fall as snow. With a warm ground and marginal surface temperatures (near or perhaps even a smidge above freezing), accumulations are not expected. Rain and snow should taper off as the deformation band pivots out of the area after midnight. Meister && .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through next Thursday) Issued at 228 PM CDT Fri Nov 4 2022 Conditions will clear tomorrow with rapid height rises following the passage of the trough. Because of the strength of the cold front, highs will likely remain in the lower 60s. However, as a ridge builds back in to our east over the weekend and into early next week, temperatures will once more warm to above normal on the strength of return southerly flow. By Monday, 60s dewpoints will have returned to at least our southern CWA. Given the anomalously strong moisture and a trough once more digging into the west coast, storm chances will exist from Monday evening through Tuesday evening. Another chance for rain will exist Thursday across much of the area. The forecast will be refined further as confidence increases. Meister && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1233 PM CDT Fri Nov 4 2022 Showers and thunderstorms along a cold front will continue to impact aviation weather this afternoon. The front is currently from SWO to OUN to SPS and continuing southeastward. Storms have developed behind it, with conditions frequently dropping into MVFR/IFR. Gusty northwest winds and low ceilings can be expected for several hours behind the front, with clearing occurring from west to east overnight. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
