.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 201 AM CST Tue Dec 13 2022

A squall line is moving across our CWA early this morning. It will
move off to our east by mid-morning. Prior to that, the potential
for severe weather within the squall line appears to be greatest
near the Red River. It is here where surface theta-e values will be
highest, with the greatest potential for surface-based updrafts
within the squall line. Damaging wind gusts and line-embedded
tornadoes will be possible, particularly south of I-40, before the
squall line exits the CWA.

Westerly winds will dominate during the day today with clearing
skies behind the Pacific front. Due to the sun and downsloping
conditions, highs will reach into the mid-50s in northwest Oklahoma
and mid-60s in southeast Oklahoma. Around sunset, a cold front will
enter northern Oklahoma as the surface low occludes over eastern
Nebraska. A combination of weak northwesterly winds and clear skies
tonight will allow temperatures to drop into the upper 20s to low
30s by daybreak north of the front, which should be in the Red River
vicinity by that time.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 201 AM CST Tue Dec 13 2022

A cooling trend begins tomorrow as the large-scale pattern across
the central U.S. begins to be dominated by the occluded upper-level
low. Apart from a stretch of cloud cover over southeast Oklahoma
tomorrow morning, sunshine and clear skies will be abundant through
the rest of the week. However, persistent low-level northwest flow
will keep days from warming back up despite the sunshine. Highs will
eventually drop into the low-to-mid 40s on Friday before rebounding
somewhat over the weekend into the mid-to-upper 40s.

Cold temperatures should continue next week as a lobe of the polar
vortex drops into the Great Lakes and stagnates the pattern. There
appears to be a low-end signal for rain Sunday and Monday, with
perhaps more substantial chances for precipitation after the end of
the forecast period.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 452 AM CST Tue Dec 13 2022

Line of showers and storms will continue to move east across the
area, exiting the area later this morning. Low ceilings ahead of
the line will improve after the line of storms with clouds
decreasing west of the storms today. Winds will shift to the SW/W
behind the line of storms. A boundary will move into parts of the
area tonight/early Wednesday which will cause winds to shift more
towards the NW.
