232 PM CDT SUN MAR 31 2013
.DISCUSSION…
A SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS PUSHED INTO CENTRAL TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON
WHERE STORMS HAVE FORMED NORTH OF THE HILL COUNTRY. DRIER AIR
BEHIND THE FRONT HAS FILTERED INTO OKLAHOMA AND SKIES ARE GENERALLY
CLEAR. MAINLY LIGHT WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP INTO
THE 40S AND LOWER 50S. A FEW AREAS MAY SEE PATCHY FOG AND OR
HEAVY DEW BY MONDAY MORNING.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS
MONDAY…WHILE AN UPPER LOW/TROUGH OVER CALIFORNIA MOVES SLOWLY
EAST. COLDER AND DRIER AIR ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE SURFACE
HIGH SHOULD LIMIT PRECIP CHANCES MAINLY TO WESTERN OKLAHOMA
MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER…BY TUESDAY…A WELL ESTABLISHED
BAROCLINIC ZONE AND INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS AROUND 8H…SHOULD
RESULT IN PERIODS OF RAIN/SHOWERS. ELEVATED INSTABILITY NEAR
THE RED RIVER VALLEY SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME THUNDER ACROSS SOUTHERN
PARTS OF THE FA.
PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY HIGH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
BEFORE THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY EARLY
THURSDAY.
THE NAM IS COLDER THAN THE GFS AND SUPPORTS SOME POTENTIAL FOR
A RAIN/SNOW MIX…MAINLY ACROSS NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA. THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST HAS THIS MENTIONED AND WILL LEAVE AS IS. ANY WINTER
PRECIP SHOULD HAVE LITTLE IF ANY IMPACT TO TRAVEL.
AFTER THURSDAY…THE WEATHER APPEARS DRY THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND WITH A GRADUAL WARMING TREND.
