SHORT TERM
(TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1231 PM CST MON NOV 24 2025
PATCHY FOG IS POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY MORNING OVER PARTS OF EAST-CENTRAL
AND SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA. SOME LOCALIZED DENSE FOG COULD ALSO BE
SEEN. HOWEVER, THIS AREA OF FOG APPEARS TO BE RATHER TRANSIENT AS IT
MOVES SOUTHWARD DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS. OTHER THAN THE MORNING
FOG, MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ARE ANTICIPATED TOMORROW.
A DEVELOPING SHORTWAVE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY OVER IDAHO AND MONTANA,
DEEPENS UPON REACHING THE NORTH-CENTRAL PLAINS TOMORROW BEFORE
TURNING TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS UPPER-LEVEL SYSTEM WILL
PUSH A DECENT COLD FRONT INTO OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 30 TO 35 MPH POSSIBLE BEHIND
THE FRONT. THIS SURGE OF POST-FRONTAL WINDS REACHES CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA BY LATE MORNING. WHILE A FEW OF THE MODELS
SUGGEST FALLING TEMPERATURES WITH FROPA IN THE MORNING HOURS, MOST
CAMS SUGGEST THIS WILL BE RELATIVELY SHORT-LIVED AND AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE MID-50'S TO MID-60'S.
AS A 1030MB SURFACE HIGH SETTLES IN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT, WILL SEE
COLD TEMPERATURES BY WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH HIGHS REMAINING IN THE
MID-/UPPER-40'S OVER NORTHERN AND PARTS OF EAST-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.
FORTUNATELY, WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VEERING WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
SURFACE HIGH. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 20'S AND 30'S BOTH
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHTS.
THOMPSON
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1205 AM CST MON NOV 24 2025
SURFACE RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH THE PLAINS FOR THANKSGIVING
DAY WITH SOME MODIFICATION OF THE AIRMASS ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO
REBOUND INTO THE 50S AND LOWER 60S BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
SURFACE RIDGE SHIFTS EAST BY FRIDAY WITH BREEZY SOUTH WINDS
DEVELOPING. THIS WILL DRAW GULF MOISTURE QUICKLY NORTHWARD AND WITH
STRONG WAA EXPECTED BY LATE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT SHOWERS AND EVEN
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR POSSIBLE. THE PRECIP WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THIS WAA PATTERN REMAINS IN PLACE AHEAD OF A
LARGE UPPER LOW DROPPING SOUTH ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS. MODELS WERE
SIMILAR LAST NIGHT WITH TIMING OF VERY COLD AIR MOVING SOUTH THROUGH
THE AREA ON SATURDAY, HOWEVER THE LATEST GFS IS NOT BRINGING THE
FRONT THROUGH UNTIL NEXT MONDAY AND NOT AS STRONG. IN ADDITION THE
MODELS ARE TRENDING TO A MORE CLOSED, RETROGRADING UPPER LOW OFF
THE CALIFORNIA COAST. THIS IS ALL LOWING OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN THE
EXTENDED PART OF THE FORECAST PERIOD, BUT DO CURRENTLY DO HAVE A
MENTION OF WINTRY PRECIP BY SUNDAY ACROSS NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA.
