SHORT TERM
(Tuesday through Wednesday night)
Issued at 217 PM CST Mon Jan 13 2025

Another surface high will build across the northern Plains, bringing another weak cold front into the area starting Tuesday late morning. Cooler temperatures behind the boundary won't generally be realized until Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
Highs generally will be in the 50s for most places and in the 40s along and behind the front. Overnight lows should stay a few degrees cooler than Monday night and highs Wednesday will only get to the 40s across the northern half of the area (50s across the southern half).

LONG TERM
(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 240 AM CST Mon Jan 13 2025

By Thursday and Friday shortwave ridging will build over the region in the mid to upper levels ahead of a trough across the southwest US, with lee cyclogenesis occurring across the High Plains at the surface. The increased heights and warming mid-level temperatures will lead to above average high temperatures across the region, with mainly 50s on Thursday and upper 50s (north) to near 70 (southwest) on Friday. A few showers will be possible Friday across southeast Oklahoma with the passage of a shortwave trough, but given limited moisture return and the progressive nature of this system, amounts should be fairly light.

Meanwhile, ridging will amplify across the western North American coast, which will help direct another arctic airmass southward and eventually into our area by Saturday. This will send temperatures back well below average, with greater than 50% NBM probabilities for highs near or below freezing across the northern half of the area both Sunday and Monday. The precipitation chances with this system continue to dwindle, with PoPs (in the form of snow) generally less than 15% outside of western/northwestern Oklahoma.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1113 AM CST Mon Jan 13 2025

VFR conditions are expected at all terminals through the period.
Clear skies and a southwest breeze will be noted across the region during the day today. Cloud cover is forecast to increase into the overnight, mainly across the northern one-half of the area. Cigs look to remain above FL100, however.

There is also potential for low-level wind shear at KPNC/KSWO early Tuesday morning, as a weak front moves into portions of northern Oklahoma. Did not include explicit mention at this update as this concern looks to be transient in nature.

Safe travels!
