Looking ahead to possible wintry weather at Christmas, according to the National Weather Service, Norman and NWS, Tulsa
From the National Weather Service, Norman Forecast Office: SEVERAL MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT AT A MUCH STRONG SYSTEM IMPACTING THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AROUND CHRISTMAS. MODEL TO MODEL RUN CONSISTENCY IS NOT GOOD AND GFS ENSEMBLES HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF SOLUTIONS. VERY COLD AIR WILL BE LURKING…SO THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME WINTER WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK/MID WEEK IS POSSIBLE.
From the National Weather Service, Tulsa Forecast Office: NEEDLESS TO SAY…THE HOLIDAY FORECAST FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK LOOKS INTERESTING. ECMWF BOMBS A MID-LEVEL UPPER LOW FROM THE TX PANHANDLE CHRISTMAS MORNING INTO MO BY 12Z/26. THIS TRACK AND FORECAST THERMAL PROFILES WOULD SUPPORT SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ACROSS THE AREA LATE CHRISTMAS DAY AND NIGHT. THE GFS OFFERS A SOMEWHAT SIMILAR SOLUTION…ALTHOUGH ABOUT 24 HOURS LATER THAN THE ECMWF (AND THERMAL FIELDS ARE A BIT WARMER). UNCERTAINTY REMAINS HIGH AND DETAILS WILL OBVIOUSLY CHANGE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS…HOWEVER THE PUBLIC IS URGED TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE CHRISTMAS TIME FORECAST.
