.DISCUSSION...
&&
.AVIATION...
For the 06z TAFs:
Ceilings and visibility have improved some at many sites over the
last couple of hours as increased gradient and strengthening winds
have caused more turbulent mixing. This trend is unlikely to
reverse as winds continue to increase overnight. Brief low
visibility may accompany the heaviest part of the band of heavy
rain and thunderstorms as it moves through overnight. Strong
southerly winds will veer to southwesterly tomorrow behind the
departing rain. Significant strengthening of winds will occur
tomorrow with gusts as high as 60 mph possible across western and
northern Oklahoma, and possibly into central Oklahoma.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 623 PM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019/
DISCUSSION...
00Z TAF discussion.
AVIATION...
IFR and LIFR conditions to continue overnight before VFR
conditions develop by late morning tomorrow. Patchy fog and very
low ceilings will continue overnight with some drizzle and light
showers this evening. There will be a round of thunderstorms that
is expected to traverse much of the area after midnight and move
from west to east through 12Z to 14Z. Skies are expected to clear
from west to east by late morning. Southeast winds will become
southerly overnight and become quite gusty. Winds will become very
strong by late morning with sustained winds of 30 to 40kts with gusts
over 40kts likely with some gusts over 50kts.
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 251 PM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019/
DISCUSSION...
Later today through Wednesday, a very cold trough moving across the
Pacific Northwest will phase with another trough/low over the
Baja region. Farther east, a warm and humid air mass over central
and southern Texas will be advected northward into the southern
Plains through tonight. This will result in areas of dense fog,
through at least the early to mid evening. Low visibility in fog
may be mitigated by rain showers this afternoon and early evening.
Rather impressive height falls will occur late this evening through
early Wednesday morning, as a negatively tilted trough moves
across southern and central Plains. At surface, rapid
intensification of a surface low is expected over far southeast
Colorado and western Kansas on Wednesday. A tight pressure
gradient and mixing will result in the potential for damaging wind
gusts to at least 60 mph, especially across the northwest quarter
of Oklahoma. The High Wind Watch was converted to a High Wind
Warning and a Wind Advisory was issued for south central and
southeast Oklahoma.
Before this occurs, scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will
move across mainly western and northern Oklahoma this afternoon
and early evening. A more notable area/line of precipitation is
expected to enter far western Oklahoma and western north Texas
around midnight. Locally heavy rainfall is expected to occur with
some of the storms, but a relatively short duration of
precipitation will reduce the risk of flooding. Strong to severe
wind gusts may occur within this line/area of precipitation
overnight and early Wednesday, given very strong low-level shear.
Southern Oklahoma and western north Texas may be more susceptible.
After a relatively warm and dry day Wednesday, much cooler and
drier air will push across the state behind a cold front.
Sustained winds will remain rather strong through at least
midnight, but a decrease in stronger wind gusts is anticipated.
Strong gusty north winds are expected Thursday, and a Wind
Advisory may be required for northern parts of Oklahoma. Much
lighter winds are expected by Thursday evening.
Dry weather with near or slightly below average temperatures
is expected Friday into early next week.
