.DISCUSSION…
WINTER STORM WINDING DOWN THIS AFTN ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA.
COULD SEE A FEW FLURRIES OR LIGHT SNOW ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL OK FOR
A COUPLE MORE HOURS… BUT WILL TAKE A LAST MINUTE LOOK AS TO
POPS/WX BASED ON TRENDS. HOWEVER… WILL GO AHEAD AND EXPIRE WHAT
REMAINS OF WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES AND WARNING AT 4 PM.

COLD NIGHT ON TAP WITH SOME SINGLE DIGITS POSSIBLE ACROSS
NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND ANOTHER COOL DAY ON FRIDAY WITH LIGHT NORTH
WINDS.

PATTERN REMAIN RATHER ACTIVE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS
SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVES OUT OF THE WEST AND THROUGH
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. AS TIMING AND STRENGTH DIFFERENCES REMAIN
WILL NOT MAKE ANY MAJOR CHANGES TO GOING FORECAST. PREV FORECAST
HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THE ECMWF MORE CLOSELY AND WILL CONTINUE TO GO
WITH ITS SOLUTION. THIS MEANS WILL KEEP PRECIP CHANCES LATE SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY… BUT WITH EXPECTED SFC TEMPS WILL INTRO A RAIN/SNOW
MIX ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. MAY SEE SOME LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS NEAR THE KS BORDER SUNDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE… FOR
NOW REMAINDER OF FORECAST REMAINS DRY. WILL NEED TO WATCH SYSTEM
ON WEDNESDAY AS IT HAS SOME POTENTIAL FOR PRECIP ACROSS PARTS OF
THE AREA… BUT BETTER CHANCES REMAIN SOUTHEAST OF OK. NEAR OR
SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL NORMS FOR TEMPS AS COOL NORTHWEST MID
LEVEL FLOW BRINGS SFC FRONTS THROUGH THE AREA EVERY COUPLE OF
DAYS.
