Area Forecast Discussion from the National Weather Service, Norman
WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIKELY INHIBIT HEATING
A BIT KEEPING TEMPS SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN ANTICIPATED AND WIND
SPEEDS SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED…AT LEAST THROUGH EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE LATER THIS EVENING AS A
STRONG COLD FRONT STARTS TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION. WE HAVE
DECIDED TO ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR EXTREME
NORTHWESTERN OK FOR TONIGHT SINCE SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS
APPEAR POSSIBLE…ALONG WITH BLOWING SNOW/DUST WHICH MAY RESULT
IN VERY POOR VISIBILITY. A VERY TIGHT SFC PRESSURE(4MB/100NM)/T
GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP BY 03-06Z TONIGHT. THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL
BE SLOW TO DECOUPLE AND WITH AT LEAST A 50 KT 850 MB POST FRONTAL
JET EXPECTED…THE HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A WARNING
AND EXPANDED TO INCLUDE CENTRAL OK. FOR NOW…ONLY PATCHY BLOWING
DUST WILL ONLY BE MENTIONED FOR THIS EVENING SINCE THE DURATION OF
THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE BRIEF…BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE
WATCHED CLOSELY.
