Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
1237 PM CDT Fri Nov 4 2022

...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 242 AM CDT Fri Nov 4 2022

Keeping the bullet format going given busy short term:

- Thunderstorms expected to continue developing very early this
morning and affect northwest and west-central Oklahoma. Most of the
storms should stay near and behind the cold front, minimizing the
severe threat. However, we will be watching closely for storms
east/ahead of the front for severe wind/brief tornado potential.

- Most model guidance has a relative minimum in activity across
central portions of Oklahoma through the morning, but any small
storm/showers that develops will have to be watched closely.

- The greatest tornado risk remains across southeast Oklahoma this
afternoon and evening, especially with those storms that stay
out/east of the cold front.

- Going to be chilly behind the front today and tonight, so while
many areas will see a mild and humid morning, falling temperatures
and gusty north winds will make it feel much different by late
afternoon. Cannot rule out some wet snow flakes across far northwest
Oklahoma this evening.

- Freezing temperatures appear possible across northern and western
portions of Oklahoma. Many areas have seen a freeze and we are well
beyond the date of average first freeze, so no freeze warnings
planned on this shift. This will be reassessed today.

- Brief elevated fire weather conditions across western north Texas
late this morning and this afternoon behind the dryline and ahead of
cold front.

Intense, progressive longwave trough will pass over the region today
and tonight. Initial jet streak currently progressing over the
Panhandles at this typing, yielding strong forcing near incoming
cold front. Scattered showers and storms expected to continue with a
few severe storms possible. What is preventing a greater risk of
nocturnal tornadoes early this morning will be fast southerly
progress of strong cold front. This will act to undercut the storms
and prevent the ingesting of surface based parcels. Could still mix
down some severe level wind gusts or perhaps see some marginally
severe hail though. Caveat will be if we get convection ahead
of/east of the front. If that happens the tornado threat will be
much higher, at least for brief/weak tornadoes.

While there could be a relative decrease in storm activity during
the post sunrise hours of the morning as the nocturnal low level jet
weakens, still expect some shower and thunderstorm activity along
and behind the cold front continuing into the afternoon. Activity
near the front will be more of a linear mode, and with progression
of colder air, minimal tornado threat is expected with storms near
front. Any storms east/ahead of the cold front will need to be
watched closely due to increasing instability and still sufficiently
strong low level shear. During the afternoon and evening, as cold
front overtakes the dryline and moves into an environment of
stronger instability and shear (mainly southeast of Interstate-44 or
near/southeast of Wichita Falls, Lawton, Oklahoma City and
Stillwater) severe thunderstorms are forecast to increase in both
intensity and coverage with damaging wind gusts and tornadoes the
main concerns, followed by some large hail. Storms that develop
ahead of the front, mainly across areas near and east of Ardmore and
Ada this afternoon and early evening, could pose a more substantial
tornado risk.

There will continue to be rain well behind the cold front this
afternoon and perhaps into the evening across northwest and north
central Oklahoma. With falling temperatures through the day, cannot
rule out some wet snow flakes across extreme northwest Oklahoma,
Harper and Woods counties. Current forecast does not mention snow,
but if precipitation lingers longer than expected, this could
change. If it happens, it would likely melt upon contact with a
relatively warm ground. Freezing or near freezing temperatures will
be in the forecast for late tonight, but with many areas having seen
a freeze this fall and those locations being beyond their average
first freeze, we opted not to issue any freeze headlines.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 242 AM CDT Fri Nov 4 2022

After below average temperatures to start the weekend, a moderation
of temperatures expected Sunday and Monday despite another weak
frontal intrusion on Sunday. With upper flow then becoming stronger
and more zonal, return flow (both warmer and more moist) will spread
over the region Monday into Tuesday. This could yield some warm
advection showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms. Next chance for
more impactful weather still progd by models late next week with
another longwave trough and associated cold front. Still a lot of
model disagreement on timing and impacts.

&&

.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.
