. New AVIATION .

SHORT TERM. (Today and tonight) Issued at 300 AM CDT Thu Oct 1 2020

Quintessential early autumn weather will be the rule today. The post-frontal air mass behind yesterday's cold front will result in high temperatures ~15 deg F cooler, which is around 5 deg F below average for early October. Northerly winds shouldn't be too gusty, but winds could gust to 20 to 25 mph with 850 mb winds progged to be ~25 knots.

One noticable feature will be continued advection of smoke from wildfires from the west. The sky should be noticeably hazy today, especially in the morning/early afternoon. Opted to mention "haze" in the official grids to account for this.

Winds should become light tonight as the surface ridge axis passes by the area. Combined with a dry air mass and mostly clear skies, expect a cool night with lows in the 40s deg F. Some sheltered locations may even see lows in the upper 30s deg F.

LONG TERM. (Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 300 AM CDT Thu Oct 1 2020

Surface winds will veer back to the south on Friday as the surface ridge moves toward the Midwest. These southerly winds will advect moisture back to the north for Saturday with dew points progged to reach the low to mid 50s F. Temperatures will also be warmer on Saturday (especially across the southwest). The increased low-level moisture will interact with an approaching shortwave trough and attendant cold front on Saturday. There is a chance of showers and thunderstorms as the system passes by the area, especially across southern/southeastern Oklahoma.

Cooler weather is expected in the front's wake for Sunday. The cooler temperatures will be brief as the mid-level ridge across the western United States is progged to expand a little eastward early next week. This will also shift the attendant low-level thermal ridge eastward. In response, warmer, above-average temperature are forecast to quickly return next week.

AVIATION. (12Z TAFS) Issued at 629 AM CDT Thu Oct 1 2020

VFR conditions are expected. Mid-level clouds will increase mainly across northern portions of Oklahoma today on souther periphery of northwesterly jet segment. In addition, elevated smoke layer will be evident as smoke from WY/CO wildfires gets caught up in the northwest flow. Winds will be generally north-northeast and become gusty (15-25KT) most terminals late in the morning through at least mid-afternoon. Winds will veer to east/southeast after 00Z and become light.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
