SHORT TERM
(TODAY)
ISSUED AT 155 AM CST WED NOV 27 2024
A COLD FRONT REMAINS ON TRACK TO MOVE THROUGH EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND
WESTERN ARKANSAS TODAY, LIKELY ENTERING NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA MIDDAY
AND SURGING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT A RAW
AFTERNOON BEHIND THE FRONT, WITH PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER AND
INCREASED NORTHERLY WINDS. OCCASIONAL WIND GUSTS AROUND 25 MPH
SHOULD BE COMMON. ANY MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM
LOOKS TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE KANSAS AND MISSOURI BORDERS, BUT A
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SPRINKLES COULD OCCUR ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA AND INTO FAR NORTHWEST ARKANSAS DURING THE AFTERNOON.
LONG TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 155 AM CST WED NOV 27 2024
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT LOOKS TO PERSIST INTO NEXT WEEK, KEEPING THE
AREA IN LINE FOR ADDITIONAL COLD FRONTS AND LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
MOISTURE RETURN.
THE AFOREMENTIONED NORTHERLY WIND GUSTS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING HOURS TODAY, ALONG WITH THE EXPECTED SPRINKLES IN
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND INTO EARLY
THANKSGIVING MORNING, ANOTHER BAND OF PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP WITHIN LOCALLY FASTER UPPER LEVEL WINDS AND SPREAD FROM
WEST TO EAST, PROBABLY SOMEWHERE ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-40. MODEL
SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION IS UNLIKELY BUT
WILL INCLUDE A MENTION OF SPRINKLES.
WELL BELOW NORMAL AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT FOR
THANKSGIVING, WITH ENOUGH NORTHERLY WIND HANGING ON INTO THE DAY
TO MAKE IT FEEL WORSE. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE INTO THE
REGION BY THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS, LEADING TO GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS AND LOW TEMPERATURES NEAR THE
KANSAS AND MISSOURI BORDERS UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE TO THE UPPER
TEENS.
WINDS WILL SHIFT BACK TO THE SOUTH LATE FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY,
AHEAD OF ANOTHER LIKELY DRY COLD FRONT SET TO MOVE THROUGH LATE
SATURDAY AND INTO SUNDAY. SUNDAY AFTERNOON SHOULD FEATURE WELL
BELOW NORMAL DAYTIME TEMPERATURES AGAIN, AFTER THE NEAR NORMAL
VALUES EXPECTED ON SATURDAY.
RAIN EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME NEXT
WEEK ACROSS TEXAS AND INTO SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND PARTS OF
LOUISIANA WILL MAKE A CLOSE ENOUGH APPROACH TO INCLUDE LOW RAIN
CHANCES IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA. TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO NORMAL
APPEAR IN THE OFFING TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK ALSO.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1119 AM CST WED NOV 27 2024
PRIMARY CONCERN WILL BE THE PRESENCE OF LOW CLOUDS AND MVFR
CEILINGS, INITIALLY COVERING MOST OF NORTHWEST AR AND PARTS OF
NORTHEAST OK. THE OVERALL TREND WILL BE FOR LOWER CEILINGS TO
EVENTUALLY SPREAD INTO THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING BEHIND A COLD FRONT, WITH MOST LOCATIONS
SEEING MVFR CONDITIONS AFTER 00Z. POTENTIAL ALSO EXISTS FOR A
PERIOD OF IFR CEILINGS IN NW AR TONIGHT. CONFIDENCE SOMEWHAT LOW
IN HOW FAST IMPROVEMENT WILL OCCUR, AND THIS FORECAST WILL TREND
MORE PESSIMISTIC ACROSS NORTHWEST AR. WINDS INCREASE FROM THE
NORTH THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOME GUSTS IN THE 20-25 MPH RANGE
PERSISTING WELL INTO THE EVENING.
