. New UPDATE .

UPDATE. Issued at 1000 PM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020

The surge of clouds from eastern Kansas into north central Oklahoma continues to slowly expand westward. The observational trends suggest these clouds should persist longer overnight despite the insistence of most models to start to bring drier low- level air in. Have increased cloudiness in the forecast along these areas. With the increased cloudiness and less radiational cooling, temperatures in north central Oklahoma may not get quite as low as forecast. Right now am leaving the headlines as they are in case we do get some late cloud erosion and temperatures drop quickly before sunrise.

SHORT TERM. (This evening through Saturday) Issued at 128 PM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020

The main concern for tonight into early Saturday morning will be the potential for freezing temperatures across western and northern Oklahoma. Clouds have already eroding some across northwestern Oklahoma early this afternoon and this trend will continue to the south and east through the afternoon/early evening. The exception may be parts of southeastern Oklahoma. Winds are expected to become light late this evening/overnight, especially across northwest/west central Oklahoma. The plan is to convert a large part of the Freeze Watch to a warning and issue a Frost Advisory where confidence is not as high. Temperatures are expected to rebound into the 50s/lower 60s on Saturday with a south wind returning during the day. The wind will be a little breezy across western Oklahoma during the afternoon.

LONG TERM. (Saturday night through next Thursday) Issued at 350 PM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020

Temperatures will continue to warm Saturday night into Sunday morning. A strong cold front will begin entering into northwestern Oklahoma Sunday morning, and will move through the remainder of Oklahoma and western north Texas Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening. Models continue to indicate the general pattern of the upper-level longwave trough digging southward and developing a closed upper-level cyclone and a positively tilted trough through the region. Temperatures are expected to cool considerably, with freezing conditions through northwestern Oklahoma Monday morning and expanding through western north Texas and most of Oklahoma except for far southeastern Oklahoma.

Precipitation behind the cold front is expected to be widespread Monday and Tuesday due to isentropic lifting of decently moist air. Areas of enhanced heavier precipitation are possible with upper- level shortwaves ejected ahead of the upper-level cyclone to the west. A second round of precipitation will be likely with the passage of the upper-level cyclone and enhanced lift. Precipitation type will depend on the near-surface temperatures and the depth of the cold air moving in. With a large warm layer centered around 700mb preventing any snow, freezing rain/sleet will be the primary winter weather concern Monday and Tuesday as the freezing surface temperatures expand to the southeast. By the time the upper- level cyclone and more synoptic forcing arrives, surface temperatures will likely have recovered above freezing, and the dominant precipitation type will likely be rain.

Uncertainty with this event continues to be the timing of the upper-level cyclone closing off and progressing through the region. The GFS continues to be more progressive and moves through the region Wednesday into Thursday, while the ECMWF closes off the low further southwest before pushing through the region Thursday into Friday. With the ECMWF closing off the cyclone earlier and further to the west, this solution would enhance ridging in the region and would likely result in warmer surface temperatures and limiting the extent of any frozen precipitation. Temperature trends will be monitored closely, in particular as mid-range models become available.

AVIATION. (00Z TAFS) Issued at 716 PM CDT Fri Oct 23 2020

Skies have cleared over northwestern Oklahoma with the clearing gradually shifting south over western Oklahoma at least. However another band of stratus lingers across eastern Kansas into north central Oklahoma. Ceiling in north central Oklahoma are generally 030-040, but there are some MVFR ceilings lurking across the border in Kansas as close as KWLD, so some localized MVFR is certainly possible at KPNC and perhaps KSWO. Given trends in observational data showing a continued slight westward push of the edge of this cloud deck, will have these clouds in north central Oklahoma persist longer than the models would suggest.
