Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK Issued by National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1250 PM CDT Tue Sep 27 2022 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 220 AM CDT Tue Sep 27 2022 A weak front is expected to move into northwest Oklahoma this afternoon with generally northeast winds behind the boundary and south to southwest winds elsewhere. This will result in another very warm day with temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Afternoon relative humidity is expected to bottom out around 20 percent most areas. Although winds are not expected to be strong, wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph may occur during peak heating. This may result in a short period of elevated fire weather conditions generally ahead of the surface boundary. A Fire Danger Statement will be issued for a large part of the area to highlight the potential hazard. With a clear sky and light winds, temperatures will cool rather quickly during the early evening. The front is also expected to drift southward into central Oklahoma during the night. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 235 AM CDT Tue Sep 27 2022 With a mid-level ridge centered just to our west, dry and warm weather will continue. However, the circulation around a large surface high over the Great Lakes/Upper Midwest should help take the edge off afternoon highs (most areas). The exception may be southwestern Oklahoma and western north Texas where surface winds may maintain more of a downslope component. (Wednesday-Thursday) Circulation around the surface high and hurricane Ian will keep rich Gulf moisture well to our south despite a southerly surface wind. This will result in more warm days and rather cool pleasant evenings. Around Friday/Saturday, a low, which is primarily cutoff from the stronger westerlies in Canada, will move slowly across the northern Rockies. The influence from the cool high pressure (now over New England) will begin to fade, but some influences from the remnants of Ian may linger through at least the early part of the weekend. Somewhat stronger surface winds may develop during the afternoon Friday as a lee trough develops (especially northwest Oklahoma). Unfortunately the chances of meaningful rainfall look very low. With mainly warm days and cool nights, days with stronger winds will elevate fire weather concerns. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1246 PM CDT Tue Sep 27 2022 VFR conditions will continue this TAF cycle. A wind shift will progress across western most sites overnight. && .OUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OK...None. TX...None. && SHORT TERM...06 LONG TERM....06 AVIATION...Lacy/TSA
