.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of today )
Issued at 1026 AM CST Tue Feb 1 2022
Cold front currently moving into southeast Kansas will
ease into northeast Oklahoma this afternoon with rain
developing in the vicinity of the boundary across northeast
Oklahoma. Rain will also begin to develop across portions of
southeast Oklahoma and western Arkansas this afternoon as
moisture continues to increase across the area. Have made
some small adjustments to the forecast for today to better
reflect current trends.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Monday)
Issued at 325 AM CST Tue Feb 1 2022
Cold air will filter in relatively quickly overnight behind the
passage of the cold front. Temperatures will likely fall below
freezing across NE OK by sunrise tomorrow morning. Wintry
precipitation (FZRA and IP) will likely be underway within a
frontogenetically forced band late tonight for locations closer to
the OK/KS border as cold air wedges under the much warmer air at
the mid levels. WAA advection at the 850mb level near the vicinity
of the front will aid in the development and intensity of
precipitation. The mid levels will continue to cool though at
slower rate than at the surface.
The latest guidance, compared to 24 hours ago at least, is
suggesting that mid level cooling will occur faster which in turns
means a faster transition to snow could occur thus the potential
for significant snow accumulations is increasing across NE OK.
This lines up well with how the models were trending 2 days ago
before they turned rather warm yesterday. One other aspect of the
forecast that relates to temperature that has been hinted at for
several runs is the cold air getting caught up in the higher
terrain of NW AR and across EC to SE OK where diurnal warming
effects will try to raise temperatures. This affect will likely
allow temperatures to be favorable for freezing rain and sleet for
an extended period of time across SE OK and extending into NW AR.
Significant ice accumulations will likely result where
temperatures hover just below freezing (especially close to 28)
for an extended period of time. The potential for significant ice
impacts remains including prolonged power outages, hazardous to
near impossible travel, and tree damage.
The upper storm system will begin ejecting out into the region
late Wednesday afternoon. At that time, the warm conveyor will
bring an abundance of moisture to the area with QPF amounts
beginning to really increase. Also, the location of the cold air
at the surface and warm air aloft will be critical to nail down as
it will determine the type of wintry precipitation to expect.
With so many moving parts to this forecast, it makes it
challenging. My colleague who made the forecast yesterday painted
a great picture of this problem… “A good analogy to this
problem is a QB throwing a pass to a wide receiver. The ball and
receiver are moving independent of each other, and it can be
difficult to hit the player right between the numbers as he moves
across the field (a perfect forecast).” The most impactful
precipitation will be during the time frame of Wednesday at 21Z
(3PM) through Thursday at 12Z (6AM). The type of precipitation
that falls during this time frame will really define what impacts
will be felt across the area. There are a plethora of other small
ingredients during this time frame to consider that will all play
a role in this event. Forecast soundings continue to show a rather
deep saturated profile (all the way to nearly 200mb!). This can
also be seen in the elevated PWAT values with 0.5 to 0.7” being
forecast across NE OK and far NW AR higher values near 1” closer
to the OK/TX border. Forecast soundings in the heavy band of snow
just north of the transition line are showing a relatively deep
DGZ associated with strongly favorable Omega fields for lift.
This, in tandem/associated with strong frontogenesis will yield
very high snowfall rates of 1 to 2” per hour at times.
Other things to consider with this forecast include the potential
for a dry slot to affect parts of the area which will cut down
snow/ice accumulations. At the moment, the greatest potential for
a dry slot to eat away at totals exists across NE OK. The NAM is
the biggest proponent for this with 700mb drying being noted in
the latest guidance though the ECMWF offers some drying as well.
This aspect of the forecast will need to be monitored. A secondary
short wave will eject Thursday night into early Friday. This will
likely bring the last round of accumulating snow to the area
which could be moderate to heavy at times. Guidance is still not
exactly sure how much accumulation to bring with this wave, but
this will likely bring impactful snow. Lake effect snow may adding
a little more snow to locations immediately near area lakes
(especially those oriented more N-S). Oologah comes to mind with
favorable lake effect soundings (though a higher inversion would
be more conducive for heavier snow) with fairly weak shear in the
lower levels and winds oriented along the length of the lake. Snow
is expected to remain light though 0.5” extra accumulation
could occur downwind of these lakes. Lake effect snow will likely
linger through late Friday afternoon before winds relax and shift
direction. If a deep snow/sleetpack develop, expect temperatures
to really tank Friday and especially Saturday morning when skies
go clear and winds will be light to calm allowing for very strong
radiational cooling. I would not be surprised to see actual air
temperatures drop to or below 0 in some areas. Dangerous wind
chills will be possible Thursday morning with winds still elevated
and cold temperatures expected. Winds, as mentioned before, will
be on the decrease Friday and especially Saturday as high pressure
begins to build in thus wind chills will not be all that
different from the actual air temperatures given light to calm
winds.
Looking at the probabilities for snow, it is almost a certainty
that accumulating snow will affect the entire area with a vast
majority of NE OK and far NW AR likely to see at least 4” of
snow. A reasonable worst case scenario at the moment will see
7-10” across much E OK (mainly N of I-40) and across far NW AR
north of the Boston mountains while the 10 percentile (if the
forecast where to drastically under perform) would still yield 1
to 3” of snow across NE OK into far NW AR with less than an inch
from about I 40 and points south. A middle of the road forecast
still looks good at the moment. As for ice accumulation, the 10
percentile paints minor accumulations across far NE OK into NW AR
with some isolated icing across SE OK (very unlikely to happen
given the latest information). The 90 percentile shows the
potential for significant icing across much of the area from about
I-44 and southward. Far SE OK and NW AR would both see around
0.4”. Even though these are 90 percentile amounts, reliable data
over the past 24 hours has continued to hint at the potential for
these high end amounts to occur thus will keep ice amounts
elevated within a zone between SE OK into NW AR.
Quiet weather is then expected this weekend into early next week
with temperatures warming through at least Monday. Guidance for
this weekend does indicate a fast moving shortwave Saturday into
Sunday. The vast majority of guidance is not really hinting at any
precipitation (ECMWF has some in far SE OK) due to a lack of
moisture in the area thus will keep it dry for now.

DISCUSSION...
Rain will move into parts of the area this morning which will
become more widespread this afternoon, especially across
northeast Oklahoma where a cold front will move into the area.
Colder air will filter in through the night which will transition
rain to freezing rain, sleet, and even some snow closer to the
Oklahoma and Kansas border. Light accumulations are expected
through 6AM Wednesday morning which may lead to slippery roads
across mainly northeast Oklahoma.

Potential...Dangerous Wind Chill Potential.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...Dangerous Wind Chill Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
A dangerous winter storm is expected to impact the region mainly
Tuesday night into Thursday night with the heaviest wintry
precipitation expected Wednesday night into early Thursday morning.
Disruptions to daily life can be expected, and threats to life
and property are possible. Considerable amounts of ice, sleet and
snow are forecast, leading to travel impacts. Power outages are
possible. An arctic air invasion combined with strong north winds
will yield very dangerous wind chills Wednesday night into
Thursday. Lighter winds by Friday will lessen the threat, south
winds Saturday morning will combine with cold air in place, thus
yielding elevated wind chills.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
Emergency managers and first responders should continue
preparation for a major winter storm this week. Travel is likely
to be impacted across the region, and some power outages are
possible. The dangerous cold may cause some issues as well. This
cold spell, while quite intense, is not expected to match the
magnitude or duration of the February 2021 event. Warmer
temperatures are expected later in the weekend.
