Summary

After a relatively quiet early winter, a dose of reality, in the form of a major, record-setting winter storm, affected all of Oklahoma and western north Texas on January 31-February 1, 2011. Periods of heavy sleet and snow, combined with winds that gusted over 40 mph, disrupted travel and closed hundreds of schools and businesses. Snowfall totals reached over a foot in some places, with snow drifts reaching three to five foot depths. Temperatures plummeted into the single digits and lower teens, and wind chills fell well below zero. In fact, wind chill values fell below -25 degrees over parts of northwestern Oklahoma! Note: this was a wide ranging winter storm, with even higher totals reported in northeastern Oklahoma and continuing northeastward through Missouri, Illinois, and parts of the northeastern United States.

Leading Up the Event:

Looking at the weather several days before the event, one would have thought that these were the final days of winter and that spring would soon begin. Record high temperatures were common over a large area on the 28th and 29th of January, with readings well into the 70s.

Unfortunately, these warm, mild days came to an abrupt end as a strong cold front moved southward over the southern Great Plains on January 30th, reducing high temperatures to 30 to 40 degrees cooler than the previous day. Max temperatures only reached the 20s across northern Oklahoma, with highs in the 30s prevailing across the southern two-thirds of Oklahoma and into north Texas. However, this was a relative heat wave considering what was to occur just two days later.

Late on January 29th, a strong storm system finally moved onshore over southern California. At the same time, an arctic cold front began its trek south through the northern Great Plains, with a 1052 mb surface high pressure building in behind it. Although confidence had increased to a point where forecasters had concluded that a winter event was going to occur over the southern Plains, the timing and strength were still somewhat in question.

With the system now onshore, most of the numerical models had converged onto a solution that a significant winter storm would affect parts of Oklahoma and north Texas. The models indicated that several inches of snow were likely, and would be accompanied by strong northerly winds gusting over 40 mph. Forecaster confidence was high enough now that by a Winter Storm Watch was issued for portions of central, northern, and eastern Oklahoma at 4 AM on the January 30th.

As more data poured in over the next 12 to 18 hours, the Winter Storm Watch was expanded to include all of the WFO Norman, OK county warning area except for two counties in southeastern Oklahoma (Atoka and Bryan were in a Winter Weather Advisory). Counties in central and northern Oklahoma were upgraded to a Blizzard Warning, with the anticipation of 8 or more inches of snow, frequent wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph, and visibilities falling to less than ¼ of a mile.

The Event Begins:

The freezing line at the surface slowly moved south during the day on the January 31st, lying across the northwest half of Oklahoma by sunset and then advancing quickly southeast. At the same time, the storm system was moving through New Mexico with increasing lift out ahead of it.

Regional Weather Conditions at 6:37 pm CST on January 31, 2011

Thunderstorms, some containing heavy sleet, developed over parts of west Texas and moved northeast over northern Texas. By this time, some of precipitation was developing and moving over sub-freezing surface temperatures. The precipitation coverage expanded through the evening hours toward Lawton and Oklahoma City. Periods of heavy thunder-sleet, occasionally mixed with freezing rain and heavy snow, were reported up and down I-44 toward OKC by 10 pm, with a light glaze of ice developing on elevated surfaces, and sleet accumulations of 1 to 2 inches over some areas of central Oklahoma. By 1 AM, temperatures were at or below freezing over all but far southeast Oklahoma.

With the cold air deepening above the surface, the precipitation was falling as snow across western and northwest Oklahoma, with a mixture of sleet and snow over southwest and central Oklahoma, and northern Texas, and freezing rain and sleet over southern Oklahoma. By 4 AM, all but southeast Oklahoma was reporting snow, with moderate to heavy snow bands setting up over western and central Oklahoma. The temperatures also continued to fall, with temperatures ranging from near 10 degrees over northern Oklahoma, to the lower to middle 20s over southeast Oklahoma, and the teens in between.

The Event Continues:

The snowfall was moderate to heavy at times, with some areas from central into northeast Oklahoma reporting snowfall rates of 2-3 inches per hour. By sunrise, around 6 inches of snow had fallen from Norman and Oklahoma City northeast toward Shawnee and Chandler, and the heavy snow continued to fall in parts of central Oklahoma.

Regional Weather Conditions at 8:30 am CST on February 1, 2011

In addition to the snow, the winds gusted at 35 to 45 mph, and temperatures fell into the single digits and lower teens. Rush hour traffic, at least what traffic there was with most schools and businesses closed, was very slow going. Visibilities with the heavy snow and strong winds were falling below ¼ mile, resulting in numerous accidents and stalled automobiles. The wind chills became just as big an issue by this time, with wind chill values falling below -15 degrees.

By mid morning, the heaviest snow bands had pivoted into eastern Oklahoma, but areas of moderate snowfall were still moving east through western and central Oklahoma. These bands still produced snowfall rates of 1 inch per hour over central Oklahoma. The snow finally ended from west to east by early afternoon, but the wind speeds remained strong with frequent gusts over 40 mph still occurring. Even after the snowfall had ended, near blizzard conditions continued through the afternoon, which hindered snow removal on roadways, and slowed rescues from stalled cars and accidents.

After the Event:

By the evening, the temperatures had dropped into the lower single digits over northern Oklahoma and into the lower teens over southeastern Oklahoma. Although the winds had calmed somewhat, wind chill values were still well below zero. In addition to a Wind Chill Advisory, the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management requested the issuance of a Civil Emergency Message highlighting the dangerous weather conditions for those that had become stranded in their cars and hadn’t been rescued yet. Very little recovery occurred on the February 2nd, as daytime temperatures only rose into the teens. The winds continued to slowly decrease, but wind gusts near 30 mph were still common.

Impacts:

Unfortunately, four deaths were reported as a result of the winter storm, with one death occurring in Moore, and three in Miami, OK. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported over 150 automobile accidents statewide, ten of which resulted in injuries. There were also over 460 motorist-related calls, mainly from people that had become stranded in their vehicles. The situation could have been worse, but schools and businesses had closed prior to the beginning of the winter storm, which kept traffic at a minimum for much of the day on February 1st. In addition, the winter storm mainly produced snow and sleet, and freezing rain was less widespread and fell in shorter durations. As a result, ice accumulations were kept at a minimum, reducing the number of power outages across Oklahoma.

Historical Perspective:

Much of the southern Plains had enjoyed a quiet winter up to this point, which made this seem even more significant. There had been a few intrusions of arctic air, but the events were generally short lived and moved off toward the east after a day or two. Precipitation had been almost non-existent, and drought conditions had begun to take hold over parts of central Oklahoma. The liquid equivalent amounts generated by the snowfall totaled between 0.50 inches and 1 inch, and amounted to roughly half of the average February precipitation totals for the region. These precipitation totals should help somewhat to alleviate the D2 drought over central Oklahoma.

The official snowfall observation at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City was 12.1 inches. Most of the snow fell on the February 1st with when 11.8 inches was recorded, with the other 0.3 inches falling during the late hours of January 31st. The 11.8-inch total broke the calendar day record, which was previously 5.5 inches set in 1913. The total also broke the all-time February daily snowfall record, which was previously 6.5 inches set in 1987.

Looking at the bigger picture, 12.1-inch total tied February 5-7, 1988 for the 2nd highest storm total snowfall. It wasn’t that long ago when Oklahoma City had recorded its greatest storm total snowfall. Just 13 months ago, last minute Christmas shoppers were greeted with a record-setting blizzard that accumulated 13.5 inches of snow. More information regarding this event can be found here. A 3.0-inch total reported at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, TX also tied a record set in 1905 for the most snowfall to occur on February 1st.

Water Vapor Loop for February 1-2, 2011

Observations

Many surface observation sites across the area recorded some impressive wind gusts, visibility reductions, and snow rates during the blizzard. We have provided a listing of hourly, and interesting intermediate observations, for both Oklahoma City (KOKC) and Wichita Falls (KSPS) during the event below. Observations that meet blizzard criteria with both winds (35 mph frequent gusts or sustained) and visibility (1/4 mile or less) will have the "weather" cell highlighted in pink.

Oklahoma City fell below freezing by 6:00 PM on January 31 (Monday), and precipitation started around 10:00 PM in the form of sleet. This initial precipitation was convective in nature, with thunder reported in the 9:52 PM observation. The sleet quickly changed to snow by midnight and became heavy by 3:00 AM Tuesday, which continued until noon. During this time, north winds increased in speed as low pressure deepened in east Texas. Sustained winds over 30 mph persisted during the snow, with frequent gusts to 45-50 mph. Blizzard conditions occurred on three different observations (they were not consecutive, however).

Wichita Falls fell below freezing by 10:00 PM on January 31 (Monday), right as precipitation began to fall in the form of freezing rain. The freezing rain quickly began to mix with sleet and snow, finally changing to all snow by 1:00 AM on Tuesday. Overall, the storm was a bit less severe at Wichita Falls than at Oklahoma City. The snow lasted only until 8:00 AM, and was light to moderate for the storm's duration. The winds, while still strong, were generally sustained in the 25-30 mph range with gusts of 35-40 mph. Blizzard conditions did not occur at Wichita Falls.

Wind Gusts

The map below is a collection of peak wind gusts taken from ASOS (Automated Surface Observing System) sites and Oklahoma Mesonet sites from the winter storm on February 1, 2011. Several sites had incomplete records likely due to icing, or a combination of icing and strong winds during the event.

UPPER TROUGH AND SFC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY
WITH LITTLE EFFECT ON SENSIBLE WEATHER OTHER THAN A WIND SHIFT TO
THE NNW. WARMING TREND TO FOLLOW THU INTO FRI UNDER FAVORABLE
DOWNSLOPE FLOW CONDITIONS. 

TRANSITION TOWARD COOLER/COLDER CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN BY SATURDAY
AS ARCTIC FRONT SAGS INTO OK AND COLDER AIR OOZES INTO N OK WHILE
N TX AND S OK REMAIN WARM. WE ARE LEANING TOWARD THE MORE-
CONSISTENT ECMWF OVER THE GFS... WHICH WOULD HAVE THE SFC FRONT
HANGING OUT ACROSS OK MOST OF THE WEEKEND BEFORE THE COLDER AIR
KICKS IN ON MONDAY. THIS IS IN KEEPING WITH THE WAY THINGS HAVE
BEEN GOING IN GENERAL WITH THE COLD AIR THIS SEASON. HIGH AND LOW
TEMPERATURES ARE LIABLE TO GET TRICKY OVER THE WEEKEND DEPENDING
ON WHERE THE FRONT ENDS UP... BUT IN GENERAL WE LOOK FOR THE
COLDER AIR TO GET A FOOTHOLD ON N/NW OK BY SUNDAY WHILE THE S/SE
ZONES STAY RELATIVELY MILD UNTIL LATE MONDAY. BOTTOM IS LIKELY TO
FALL OUT IN ALL AREAS BY MONDAY NIGHT THOUGH... AND IF THE ECMWF
IS RIGHT THERE WOULD BE FALLING TEMPS IN MANY AREAS DURING THE DAY
MONDAY. ALTHOUGH WE ARE LEANING TOWARD THE ECMWF... OUR SOURCE
REGION FOR THIS COLD AIR OVER INTERIOR ALASKA AND NW CANADA HAS
ACTUALLY WARMED UP RELATIVE TO JUST A FEW DAYS AGO. AND WITH NO
SFC ANTICYCLONES UP NORTH... IT IS HARD TO BUY INTO A 1051 HIGH
OVER MT BY TUESDAY AND 504 THICKNESSES INTO OK BY TUE NIGHT. OUR
TEMPERATURES FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE LATEST
HPC MAX/MIN GUIDANCE AND ARE WELL BELOW THE GFS-MOS NUMBERS. WE
PROBABLY WILL BE LOOKING AT WIND CHILLS APPROACHING IF NOT
REACHING ADVISORY LEVELS BY MONDAY NIGHT IF THE ECMWF IS RIGHT.

THE PREVAILING DRY PATTERN MAKES IT HARD TO GET EXCITED ABOUT ANY
CHANCE OF PRECIP. WE WILL GO WITH SOME LOW POPS IN OUR S/SE FOR
RAIN SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY AS AN UPPER LOW MOVES ACROSS N TX.
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY ARE MORE PROBLEMATIC IN TERMS OF PRECIP
TYPE... BUT THE TREND CERTAINLY WILL BE TOWARD FREEZING-FROZEN BY
MONDAY NIGHT. THERE IS SOME CHANCE OF A SNOWY OR ICY MESS AROUND
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY BASED ON THE LATEST ECMWF/UKMET... BUT WE

.DISCUSSION...
DECENT WARMUP NEXT FEW DAYS WITH DOWNSLOPE WESTERLIES AT THE SFC. 
NAM12 SFC T HAS DONE WELL RECENTLY ON THE HIGHS ACCORDING TO LOCAL
VERIFICATION DATA. RECENT RUNS SUPPORT 60S TODAY AND LOW 70S
FRIDAY OVER MOST OF THE AREA. MOST RECENT NAM AND ECMWF RUNS HOLD
OFF ANY BACK-DOOR COLD INTRUSIONS INTO OK UNTIL SAT NIGHT... SO
SATURDAY ALSO IS LIKELY TO FEATURE SPRINGLIKE TEMPS OVER MOST OF
THE AREA. FRONT IS LIKELY TO BE VERY CLOSE TO FAR N OK IF NOT INTO
THE STATE... SO HIGHS ON SATURDAY COULD STILL BE A CHALLENGE NEAR
THE KS BORDER. WILDFIRE POTENTIAL WILL BE ELEVATED EACH AFTERNOON
THROUGH SATURDAY DUE TO WARM DRY CONDITIONS... BUT WINDS WILL BE
RELATIVELY LIGHT MOST OF THE TIME. SATURDAY MAY BE THE DAY OF
GREATEST CONCERN DUE TO SLIGHTLY STRONGER WINDS.

CHILLDOWN IS LIKELY TO COMMENCE SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY AS SFC FRONT 
MOVES S IN WAKE OF AN UPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS N TX. WE WILL KEEP
SOME LOW POPS GOING FOR -RA OVER MUCH OF THE SE PART OF THE CWA
SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY. ANY PRECIP SHOULD END BEFORE ENOUGH COLD AIR
ARRIVES TO FORCE A CHANGEOVER.

FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK IS LOOKING MORE TROUBLESOME IN TERMS OF SNOW 
AND ICE. MED-RANGE MODELS STILL DIFFER ON TIMING OF THE SYSTEM 
ARRIVING ON THE OR-CA COAST EARLY SUNDAY AND INTO THE S PLAINS FIRST 
HALF OF NEXT WEEK. BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE CONVERGING ON A SCENARIO 
THAT WOULD GIVE US A PRECIP LULL AROUND MONDAY IN WAKE OF THE 
WEEKEND SYSTEM... FOLLOWED BY INCREASIHG CHANCES MON NIGHT THROUGH 
TUE NIGHT. PROBLEM IS THAT THE CANADIAN AIR WILL BE ON THE OFFENSIVE 
DURING THIS PERIOD AND WILL EITHER BE MOVING INTO THE AREA OR WILL 
ALREADY BE IN PLACE. ECMWF REMAINS MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN THE GFS ON 
THE ARCTIC HIGH INTRUSION INTO THE S PLAINS MONDAY... AND WOULD BE 
THE MORE LIKELY SCENARIO IF THERE WERE ALREADY A BIG ARCTIC HIGH
AND A LOT OF BITTER COLD AIR UP THERE RIGHT NOW. BUT THERE ISNT.
THE ECMWF IN FACT HAS BACKED OFF FROM YESTERDAY'S 1051 HIGH OVER
MT AND 504 THICKNESS INTO OK NEXT TUE... BUT MODEL CONSENSUS STILL
SUPPORTS A 1040-SOMETHING HIGH INTO THE N PLAINS MONDAY WHICH WILL
PUSH COLDER AIR INTO THE REGION WHILE THE UPPER SYSTEM APPROACHES
FROM NM. FORECAST THUS PRESENTS A MORE GRADUAL CHILLDOWN OVER THE
SUNDAY-TUESDAY PERIOD - BUT A SIGNIFICANT ONE NONETHELESS. LARGE-
SCALE EVOLUTION OF FEATURES ON CURRENT MED-RANGE MODELS IS PRETTY
TYPICAL OF A HEAVY-SNOW EVENT IN THE S PLAINS... BUT THE MORE
GRADUAL INJECTION OF LOW-LEVEL COLD AIR SUGGESTS A CONCURRENT
POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF ICE BEFORE THE COLD AIR WINS OUT AND
SNOW PREVAILS BY THE END OF THE EVENT. POPS HAVE BEEN INCREASED
MON NIGHT INTO TUE NIGHT PER LATEST GFS GUIDANCE. TEMPS LATE IN
THE FORECAST AGAIN ARE CLOSE TO LATEST HPC GUIDANCE.

SYSTEM NEXT WEEK COULD GO IN ANY OF SEVERAL DIRECTIONS - MOSTLY SNOW 
OR MOSTLY ICE OF SOME OF EVERYTHING. WOULD NOT EVEN BE SURPRISED AT 
COLD AND DRY WITH LITTLE OR NO PRECIP GIVEN THE WAY THINGS HAVE BEEN 
GOING LATELY. WE WILL HIT IT A LITTLE HARDER IN THE HWO... BUT WILL 
EMPHASIZE THE EXISTING UNCERTAINTIES ON DETAILS INCLUDING TIMING... 
AMOUNTS... AND PRECIP TYPE/S.

TUE NIGHT. PROBLEM IS THAT THE CANADIAN AIR WILL BE ON THE OFFENSIVE 
DURING THIS PERIOD AND WILL EITHER BE MOVING INTO THE AREA OR WILL 
ALREADY BE IN PLACE. ECMWF REMAINS MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN THE GFS ON 
THE ARCTIC HIGH INTRUSION INTO THE S PLAINS MONDAY... AND WOULD BE 
THE MORE LIKELY SCENARIO IF THERE WERE ALREADY A BIG ARCTIC HIGH
AND A LOT OF BITTER COLD AIR UP THERE RIGHT NOW. BUT THERE ISNT.
THE ECMWF IN FACT HAS BACKED OFF FROM YESTERDAY'S 1051 HIGH OVER
MT AND 504 THICKNESS INTO OK NEXT TUE... BUT MODEL CONSENSUS STILL
SUPPORTS A 1040-SOMETHING HIGH INTO THE N PLAINS MONDAY WHICH WILL
PUSH COLDER AIR INTO THE REGION WHILE THE UPPER SYSTEM APPROACHES
FROM NM. FORECAST THUS PRESENTS A MORE GRADUAL CHILLDOWN OVER THE
SUNDAY-TUESDAY PERIOD - BUT A SIGNIFICANT ONE NONETHELESS. LARGE-
SCALE EVOLUTION OF FEATURES ON CURRENT MED-RANGE MODELS IS PRETTY
TYPICAL OF A HEAVY-SNOW EVENT IN THE S PLAINS... BUT THE MORE
GRADUAL INJECTION OF LOW-LEVEL COLD AIR SUGGESTS A CONCURRENT
POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF ICE BEFORE THE COLD AIR WINS OUT AND
SNOW PREVAILS BY THE END OF THE EVENT. POPS HAVE BEEN INCREASED
MON NIGHT INTO TUE NIGHT PER LATEST GFS GUIDANCE. TEMPS LATE IN
THE FORECAST AGAIN ARE CLOSE TO LATEST HPC GUIDANCE.

SYSTEM NEXT WEEK COULD GO IN ANY OF SEVERAL DIRECTIONS - MOSTLY SNOW 
OR MOSTLY ICE OF SOME OF EVERYTHING. WOULD NOT EVEN BE SURPRISED AT 
COLD AND DRY WITH LITTLE OR NO PRECIP GIVEN THE WAY THINGS HAVE BEEN 
GOING LATELY. WE WILL HIT IT A LITTLE HARDER IN THE HWO... BUT WILL

WEAK WIND SHIFT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA WILL SHIFT WINDS SLIGHTLY
FROM WEST/SOUTHWEST TO A NORTHWEST WIND TODAY. SOME SLIGHTLY GUSTY
WIND SPEEDS WILL OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE WINDS BECOME LIGHT
AND GENERALLY FROM THE WEST/SOUTHWEST THIS EVENING. A FEW MID-
LEVEL CLOUDS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON... BUT
OTHERWISE CLEAR SKIES WILL PREVAIL.

DISCUSSION...
DECENT WARMUP NEXT FEW DAYS WITH DOWNSLOPE WESTERLIES AT THE SFC. 
NAM12 SFC T HAS DONE WELL RECENTLY ON THE HIGHS ACCORDING TO LOCAL
VERIFICATION DATA. RECENT RUNS SUPPORT 60S TODAY AND LOW 70S
FRIDAY OVER MOST OF THE AREA. MOST RECENT NAM AND ECMWF RUNS HOLD
OFF ANY BACK-DOOR COLD INTRUSIONS INTO OK UNTIL SAT NIGHT... SO
SATURDAY ALSO IS LIKELY TO FEATURE SPRINGLIKE TEMPS OVER MOST OF
THE AREA. FRONT IS LIKELY TO BE VERY CLOSE TO FAR N OK IF NOT INTO
THE STATE... SO HIGHS ON SATURDAY COULD STILL BE A CHALLENGE NEAR
THE KS BORDER. WILDFIRE POTENTIAL WILL BE ELEVATED EACH AFTERNOON
THROUGH SATURDAY DUE TO WARM DRY CONDITIONS... BUT WINDS WILL BE
RELATIVELY LIGHT MOST OF THE TIME. SATURDAY MAY BE THE DAY OF
GREATEST CONCERN DUE TO SLIGHTLY STRONGER WINDS.

CHILLDOWN IS LIKELY TO COMMENCE SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY AS SFC FRONT 
MOVES S IN WAKE OF AN UPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS N TX. WE WILL KEEP
SOME LOW POPS GOING FOR -RA OVER MUCH OF THE SE PART OF THE CWA
SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY. ANY PRECIP SHOULD END BEFORE ENOUGH COLD AIR
ARRIVES TO FORCE A CHANGEOVER.

FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK IS LOOKING MORE TROUBLESOME IN TERMS OF SNOW 
AND ICE. MED-RANGE MODELS STILL DIFFER ON TIMING OF THE SYSTEM 
ARRIVING ON THE OR-CA COAST EARLY SUNDAY AND INTO THE S PLAINS FIRST 
HALF OF NEXT WEEK. BUT THEY APPEAR TO BE CONVERGING ON A SCENARIO 
THAT WOULD GIVE US A PRECIP LULL AROUND MONDAY IN WAKE OF THE

COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH ON SATURDAY. GFS BRINGS FRONT INTO THE
NORTHERN THIRD OF THE CWA BY 00Z/SUNDAY WHILE ECMWF AND ESPECIALLY
THE NAM KEEP THE FRONT NORTH OF THE AREA. IN COORDINATION WITH THE

COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
MORNING BEGINNING A MUCH COOLER PERIOD OF TIME. REINFORCING SHOTS
OF COLD AIR LOOKS TO COME IN EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES
COLDEST TEMPERATURES EXPECTED ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

PRECIPITATION FORECAST IS STILL TRICKY. AT LEAST SLIGHT
PRECIPITATION CHANCES BEGIN ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND PERSIST INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DO INCREASE THE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES NEXT WEEK ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES IN THE LOCATION AND TIMING OF THE PRECIPITATION... AND
STILL UNCERTAINTY ON PRECIPITATION TYPE ESPECIALLY EARLY IN THE
EVENT. SURFACE FRONT WILL BE WELL TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA AND
ISENTROPIC ANALYSIS SHOWS DECENT MOISTURE FEED AND LIFT ABOVE THE
FRONTAL SURFACE... BUT NOT IN THE TYPICAL CONFIGURATION FOR US.
INSTEAD OF A MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW ABOVE THE FRONTAL SURFACE... THE
MOIST FLOW IS A EAST TO WEST FLOW FROM ARKANSAS DESPITE THE LACK
OF A STRONG LOW-LEVEL CYCLONE. SO THERE IS THE UNCERTAINTY ABOUT
MOISTURE AVAILABILITY FOR THE STORM SYSTEM EARLY NEXT WEEK

FASTEN THE SEAT BELTS... THE WEATHER'S ROLLER COASTER RIDE IS

WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AND GENERALLY SUNNY SKIES WILL ALLOW

ALTHOUGH MIXING COULD RESULT IN SOME GUSTS AROUND 20 MPH.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A BIT COOLER ON SUNDAY IN NORTHERN OK AS A
COLD FRONT WAFFLES INTO THE AREA... BUT HIGHS WILL STILL RUN WELL

POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MAINLY ACROSS NORTHERN OK WITH
LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE FARTHER SOUTH.

AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO CHILL DOWN... ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL

1110 AM CST FRI JAN 28 2011

.AVIATION...
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DECREASE THIS EVENING WITH CLEAR SKIES. SFC 
BOUNDARY WILL APPROACH NORTHERN TAF SITES BY LATE SATURDAY MORNING 
WITH SOME VARIABILITY IN WIND DIRECTIONS...HOWEVER SPEEDS SHOULD 
REMAIN BELOW 10KTS. UPPER STORM SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO MOVE EAST INTO 
SOUTHWEST TEXAS ON SATURDAY. THIS WILL BRING SOME MID/HIGH CLOUDS 
TOWARD RED RIVER.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1106 AM CST FRI JAN 28 2011/

.UPDATE...
MAIN CHANGE TO THE PACKAGE THIS MORNING WAS TO DECREASE DEWPOINTS
IN WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS BASED ON CURRENT
TRENDS AND EXPECTED CONTINUED DRY.. WESTERLY SURFACE FLOW. THIS
BRINGS MINIMUM RH VALUES TO LESS THAN 20 PERCENT ACROSS A LARGER
AREA OF OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS ENHANCING WILDFIRE POTENTIAL
DESPITE THE LACK OF STRONG WINDS. ALSO HAVE RAISED MAX
TEMPERATURES SOMEWHAT IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA.
UPDATED ZONES HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED.

/12Z TAFS/
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH ONLY
A FEW HIGH CLOUDS EXPECTED. LIGHT TO MODERATE W TO SW WINDS WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH THE DAY BEFORE DECREASING AND BACKING TO THE
SOUTH TONIGHT.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 410 AM CST FRI JAN 28 2011/ 

DISCUSSION...
FASTEN THE SEAT BELTS... THE WEATHER'S ROLLER COASTER RIDE IS
STARTING UP. TEMPERATURES WILL INITIALLY WARM UP TO WELL ABOVE
NORMAL BEFORE THEY PLUNGE INTO THE ICY COLD.

WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AND GENERALLY SUNNY SKIES WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO WARM INTO THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S OVER A GOOD
PART OF THE REGION TODAY. THE UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES AND
DRY AIR WILL RESULT IN LOW HUMIDITIES BY THIS AFTERNOON WHICH WILL
INCREASE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS... ESPECIALLY OVER WESTERN PORTIONS
OF OK AND NORTH TX. HOWEVER... IT APPEARS THE WINDS WILL BE
ON THE MODERATE SIDE... GENERALLY RUNNING 15 MPH OR LOWER...
ALTHOUGH MIXING COULD RESULT IN SOME GUSTS AROUND 20 MPH.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A BIT COOLER ON SUNDAY IN NORTHERN OK AS A
COLD FRONT WAFFLES INTO THE AREA... BUT HIGHS WILL STILL RUN WELL
ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES IN MOST AREAS.

AN UPPER LOW... LOCATED OFF THE COAST OF NORTHERN BAJA EARLY THIS
MORNING... WILL LIFT OUT TO THE EAST DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. WHILE MOST OF THE RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BE
WILL BE OVER EASTERN TX... SOME OF IT MAY ALSO SPILL INTO SE OK.
MEANWHILE... A LARGE COLD HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER CANADA WILL
DROP SOUTHWARD AND PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY
NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY... DROPPING HIGH TEMPERATURES 20 TO 25
DEGREES FOR SUNDAY. SOME LIGHT MIXED WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL BE
POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MAINLY ACROSS NORTHERN OK WITH
LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE FARTHER SOUTH.

AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO CHILL DOWN... ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL
APPROACH THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK... BRINGING A BETTER POSSIBILITY
FOR A MIX OF WINTER PRECIPITATION. WHILE THE DETAILS DIFFER AMONG
THE MODELS... BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SPREAD SOME PRECIPITATION
OVER THE AREA BY TUESDAY... WITH THE GFS STARTING IT A LITTLE
SOONER AND GENERATING MORE QPF IN GENERAL. THE CHANCE FOR
FREEZING/FROZEN PRECIP WILL PROGRESS SOUTH THROUGH THE FA MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY. WHILE THERE IS REASONABLE CONFIDENCE IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION... THERE CONTINUES TO BE 
CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY ATTM CONCERNING THE EXACT TIMING... PHASE 
TYPE AND AMOUNT OF THE PRECIP. 

ALONG WITH THE COLD TEMPERATURES... BRISK NORTH WINDS WILL AT
TIMES RESULT IN SUB ZERO WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES TUE/WED OVER
THE NORTHERN HALF OF OK.

ANOTHER VERY MILD DAY TODAY IS EXPECTED TO BE FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER 
MILD DAY ON SATURDAY AS W/SW LOW LEVEL FLOW CONT TO BRING WARM AIR 
OFF MEXICAN PLATEAU. WEAK SFC FRONT MAY SLIP INTO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA 
DURING THE DAY... BUT SHOULD DO LITTLE MORE THAN ACT AS A WIND SHIFT. 
THERE WILL CONT TO BE FIRE WX CONCERNS ON SAT AS VERY WARM... BREEZY 
AND DRY AIR CONT TO RESIDE ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS. 

UPPER WAVE NEAR BAJA WILL EJECT EAST THROUGH TX OVER THE WEEKEND 
BRINGING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN TO PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA. 
AS THIS WAVE MOVES BY IT WILL BEGIN TO BRING SOUTH COOLER AIR 
CURRENTLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. OUR ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO 
UPPER WAVE OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST AND ITS MOVEMENT TOWARD 
THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK... AS WELL AS COLDER AIR TAKING SHAPE 
ACROSS CANADA. AT LEAST DEPICTED BY THE MODELS TO TAKE SHAPE. 

LATEST RUNS OF BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE SHOWN THAT AS THE 
INITIAL WAVE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST OF MONDAY... WARMER AIR WILL 
TRY AND MOVE BACK NORTH INTO PART OF OKLAHOMA AS MORE SIGNIFICANT 
SFC CYCLOGENESIS DEVELOPS TO OUR WEST/SOUTHWEST. THIS WARMER AIR 
APPEARS THAT IT MAY LIMIT FREEZING/FROZEN PRECIP ACROSS MUCH OF THE 
AREA MONDAY NIGHT. 

MODEL TRENDS WOULD BRING DEEPER/COLDER AIR SOUTHWARD INTO AREA 
DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY AS SFC LOW CONT TO DEEPEN TO OUR SOUTH AND 
SOUTHEAST. THIS SHOULD ALLOW A QUICKER TRANSITION FROM LIQUID TO 
FROZEN... LIMITING FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET. IN ADDITION LATEST ECMWF 
WOULD BRING AN END TO THE PRECIP RATHER QUICKLY TUE AFTN... EVEN 
LIMITING SNOW ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER CONFIDENCE ON ANY PARTICULAR 
SOLUTION FOR THE LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY TIME FRAME CONT TO BE 
RATHER LOW. HOWEVER DID ISSUE AN SPS EARLIER IN THE DAY ADDRESSING
SOME OF THE ISSUES.

AFTER PRECIP ENDS TUE EVENING... CONCERN IS THEN WITH COLD AND 
STRONG NORTH WINDS WHICH WILL CREATE VERY LOW WIND CHILLS TUE INTO 
WED. COLD AIR THEN HANGS AROUND THROUGH MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF 
NEXT WEEK WITH ANOTHER STRONG FRONT POSSIBLY BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

.DISCUSSION...
TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL AGAIN BE UNSEASONABLY WARM ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA WITH HIGHS IN MOST LOCATIONS REACHING THE 70S. FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS WILL CONTINUE ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHWEST WHERE
HUMIDITIES WILL LIKELY FALL TO NEAR 10 PERCENT. AT THIS TIME IT
APPEARS THAT THE WINDS WILL REMAIN MODEST WITH SPEEDS AVERAGING
ONLY 10 TO 15 MPH WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO AROUND 20 MPH.

A COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN MOVING SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT REACHING
SE OK BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE... AN UPPER LEVEL STORM
SYSTEM OVER BAJA WILL TRACK ENE ACROSS TX TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. WHILE
MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE IN EASTERN
TX... A FEW SHOWERS COULD ALSO SPREAD INTO THE SOUTHEAST PART OF
OUR CWA TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. WOULD NOT RULE OUT A CLAP OF THUNDER
OR TWO OVERNIGHT. TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL AVERAGE ABOUT 25
DEGREES COLDER THAN TODAY.

THE NEXT MAJOR UPPER STORM SYSTEM TO AFFECT US WILL BE DROPPING INTO 
THE SW US BY MONDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH WE WILL BE IN BETWEEN UPPER 
SYSTEMS SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY... THERE STILL COULD BE SOME
SCATTERED LIGHT DRIZZLE... WITH FREEZING DRIZZLE IN NORTHERN OK...
DEVELOPING BEHIND THE FRONT. ANY ACCUMULATION SHOULD BE VERY
LIGHT. 

THE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS 
COLDER AIR CONTINUES TO SPREAD INTO THE REGION WHILE THE UPPER SYSTEM 
BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. AS TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW 
FREEZING OVER A GOOD PART OF CENTRAL... WESTERN AND NORTHERN 
OKLAHOMA... A MIXED BAG OF FREEZING/FROZEN PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED. 
THE WINTRY MIX IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA 
ON TUESDAY. ATTM... IT APPEARS THE MOSTLY LIKELY AREA FOR THE 
HEAVIER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS... PERHAPS 2-4 INCHES... MAY BE OVER 
PARTS OF N-CENTRAL INTO WEST CENTRAL OK. SOME ICE WILL ALSO
POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER PARTS OF NORTH CENTRAL INTO CENTRAL OK.
HOWEVER... THIS FAR OUT... THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL IN PREDICTING
SPECIFIC AMOUNTS REMAINS LOW DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES IN THE TIMING
OF THE PRECIPITATION PHASE CHANGES AS IT RELATES TO THE QPF FIELDS.

AS THE UPPER SYSTEMS MOVES THROUGH... MUCH COLDER AIR WILL SURGE
INTO THE AREA ON THE HEELS OF STRONG NORTH WINDS. IT MAY BE THAT
THE HIGHS FOR TUESDAY OCCUR EARLY WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING AS
THE DAY PROGRESSES. THE STRONG WINDS AND FALLING TEMPERATURES
STILL LOOK FAVORABLE FOR GENERATING SUBZERO WIND CHILLS OVER A
GOOD PART OF THE CENTRAL... WEST AND NORTH TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY.

ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH THE AREA BY EARLY WEDNESDAY.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
1037 AM CST SAT JAN 29 2011

.UPDATE...
HAVE RAISED FORECAST MAX TEMPERATURES A COUPLE OF DEGREES IN THE
SOUTHWEST... AND ADJUSTED DEWPOINTS BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS. FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN FOR TODAY AND ADJUSTED DEWPOINTS GIVE A
BROADER AREA WITH MIN RH LESS THAN 20 PERCENT TODAY... ALTHOUGH
SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR A RED
FLAG. ALSO WINDS ARE SUPPOSED TO BACK SOMEWHAT TODAY ACROSS MOST
OF THE AREA WHICH WILL ALLOW SOMEWHAT HIGHER DEWPOINTS IN NORTH
TEXAS TO BEGIN SPREADING INTO THE AREA... ALTHOUGH WINDS MAY STAY
MORE VEERED THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA KEEPING DEWPOINTS LOW THROUGH THE AFTERNOON IN THE WEST.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 949 AM CST SAT JAN 29 2011/ 

AVIATION...
18Z TAFS... MAIN QUESTION IS WHETHER POST-FRONTAL STRATUS WILL GET 
INTO OK TONIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. INITIAL FRONT/WINDSHIFT IS  
CURRENTLY ACROSS NCENTRAL/NE OK BUT LOW CLOUDS ARE CONFINED TO A 
SECONDARY COLD SURGE NOW MOVING S INTO NEB/IA. MODEL RH PROGS DEPICT 
A SHALLOW LAYER OF LOW-LEVEL SATURATION BEHIND THE FRONT AS THIS 
COLDER AIR BEGINS TO WORK S INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT. THUS WE WILL
MAINTAIN LOW-MVFR CIGS IN THE TAFS ACROSS N AND CENTRAL OK LATE
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. 

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 547 AM CST SAT JAN 29 2011/ 

AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH 00Z WITH OCCASIONAL BKN HIGH
CLOUDS SPREADING IN THIS AFTERNOON. A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH IN
NORTHERN OK WILL DRIFT BACK NORTH INTO KS TODAY. A COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE SOUTH INTO NORTHERN OK AROUND 00Z... REACHING TO NEAR THE RED
RIVER BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. LOW CEILINGS AROUND 1K FT
WILL MOVE INTO THE TERMINAL AREAS 1-3 HOURS AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 449 AM CST SAT JAN 29 2011/ 

DISCUSSION...
TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL AGAIN BE UNSEASONABLY WARM ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA WITH HIGHS IN MOST LOCATIONS REACHING THE 70S. FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS WILL CONTINUE ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHWEST WHERE
HUMIDITIES WILL LIKELY FALL TO NEAR 10 PERCENT. AT THIS TIME IT
APPEARS THAT THE WINDS WILL REMAIN MODEST WITH SPEEDS AVERAGING
ONLY 10 TO 15 MPH WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO AROUND 20 MPH.

A COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN MOVING SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT REACHING
SE OK BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE... AN UPPER LEVEL STORM
SYSTEM OVER BAJA WILL TRACK ENE ACROSS TX TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. WHILE
MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE IN EASTERN
TX... A FEW SHOWERS COULD ALSO SPREAD INTO THE SOUTHEAST PART OF
OUR CWA TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. WOULD NOT RULE OUT A CLAP OF THUNDER
OR TWO OVERNIGHT. TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL AVERAGE ABOUT 25
DEGREES COLDER THAN TODAY.

THE NEXT MAJOR UPPER STORM SYSTEM TO AFFECT US WILL BE DROPPING INTO 
THE SW US BY MONDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH WE WILL BE IN BETWEEN UPPER 
SYSTEMS SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY... THERE STILL COULD BE SOME
SCATTERED LIGHT DRIZZLE... WITH FREEZING DRIZZLE IN NORTHERN OK...
DEVELOPING BEHIND THE FRONT. ANY ACCUMULATION SHOULD BE VERY
LIGHT. 

THE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS 
COLDER AIR CONTINUES TO SPREAD INTO THE REGION WHILE THE UPPER SYSTEM 
BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. AS TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW 
FREEZING OVER A GOOD PART OF CENTRAL... WESTERN AND NORTHERN 
OKLAHOMA... A MIXED BAG OF FREEZING/FROZEN PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED. 
THE WINTRY MIX IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA 
ON TUESDAY. ATTM... IT APPEARS THE MOSTLY LIKELY AREA FOR THE 
HEAVIER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS... PERHAPS 2-4 INCHES... MAY BE OVER 
PARTS OF N-CENTRAL INTO WEST CENTRAL OK. SOME ICE WILL ALSO
POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER PARTS OF NORTH CENTRAL INTO CENTRAL OK.
HOWEVER... THIS FAR OUT... THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL IN PREDICTING
SPECIFIC AMOUNTS REMAINS LOW DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES IN THE TIMING
OF THE PRECIPITATION PHASE CHANGES AS IT RELATES TO THE QPF FIELDS.

AS THE UPPER SYSTEMS MOVES THROUGH... MUCH COLDER AIR WILL SURGE
INTO THE AREA ON THE HEELS OF STRONG NORTH WINDS. IT MAY BE THAT
THE HIGHS FOR TUESDAY OCCUR EARLY WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING AS
THE DAY PROGRESSES. THE STRONG WINDS AND FALLING TEMPERATURES
STILL LOOK FAVORABLE FOR GENERATING SUBZERO WIND CHILLS OVER A
GOOD PART OF THE CENTRAL... WEST AND NORTH TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY.

ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH THE AREA BY EARLY WEDNESDAY.
WHILE WILL WE STAY WITH A DRY FORECAST FOR THAT TIME PERIOD... WE MAY
NEED TO EVENTUALLY ADD SOME FLURRIES OR SMALL CHANCES OF LIGHT
SNOW.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
929 PM CST SAT JAN 29 2011

.DISCUSSION...
THE INITIAL COLD FRONT IS PROGRESSING SOUTH ACROSS OUR FAR
NORTHERN COUNTIES. IT APPEARS TO BE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE... AND
SHOULD REACH OKLAHOMA CITY AROUND MIDNIGHT... THEN EXIT OUT
FORECAST AREA TOMORROW MORNING AROUND SUNRISE. PRE-FRONTAL WINDS
HAVE DROPPED OFF A LOT... AND TEMPERATURES JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT
HAVE DROPPED DRAMATICALLY AS VERY DRY AIR... LIGHT WINDS... AND
CLEAR SKIES ALLOW FOR VERY EFFICIENT RADIATIONAL COOLING. ONCE THE
FRONT ARRIVES... MANY OF THOSE LOCATIONS WILL SEE THE TEMPERATURE
RISE SUBSTANTIALLY... BEFORE FALLING BACK AGAIN AS THE COLD-AIR
ADVECTION SETS IN.

OTHER THAN THE WIND SHIFT... AND SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN WIND
SPEEDS... FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BECOME MUCH LESS SUPPORTIVE
OF WILDFIRES OVERNIGHT.

FINALLY... A FEW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED OVER TEXAS... SOUTHWEST
OF THE METROPLEX. THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE THAT SOME OF THIS
CONVECTION WILL AFFECT PARTS OF SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA OVERNIGHT. IT IS IMPROBABLE THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR
AS FAR NORTH AS OUR FORECAST AREA... BUT A FEW SHOWERS ARE CERTAINLY A
POSSIBILITY.

THE CURRENT FORECAST GENERALLY LOOKS GOOD... OTHER THAN BEING
UNABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE WILDLY VARYING TEMPERATURES OVER SHORT
DISTANCES... DUE TO TERRAIN FEATURES AND RADIATIONAL COOLING. AT
THIS TIME... NO UPDATES ARE PLANNED FOR THE OVERNIGHT FORECAST.

UPDATE...
MAIN UPDATE TO THE PACKAGE THIS MORNING IS TO BE MUCH MORE
PESSIMISTIC WITH CLOUD COVER... AND THEREFORE THE TEMPERATURE
RECOVERY FOR THIS AFTERNOON. SO HAVE INCREASED CLOUD COVERAGE AND
DECREASED AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES. FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH ALL BUT
THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST PART OF THE WARNING AREA AND TEMPERATURES
WILL BE TURNING COLDER IN ATOKA AND DURANT AS THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH. STILL INVESTIGATING LATEST MODEL DATA FOR THE MONDAY
NIGHT/TUESDAY STORM SYSTEM.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 547 AM CST SUN JAN 30 2011/ 

AVIATION...
/12Z TAFS/
MVFR CEILINGS... WITH A FEW AREAS LOWERING TO IFR... LOCATED ACROSS
CENTRAL... WESTERN... AND NORTHERN OK WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD
SOUTH THIS MORNING. THE LOW CLOUDS WILL BREAK UP ACROSS WESTERN OK
AND NORTH TX BY AFTERNOON WITH CEILINGS GRADUALLY LIFTING OVER THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA. GUSTY N-NE WINDS THIS MORNING WILL DIMINISH
THIS AFTERNOON. LOW CLOUDS AND LIGHT FOG WILL FILL BACK INTO
WESTERN OK AND NORTH TX TOWARDS THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 422 AM CST SUN JAN 30 2011/ 

DISCUSSION...
A COLD FRONT MOVING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL OK EARLY THIS MORNING
SHOULD MOVE SOUTH OF THE RED RIVER LATER THIS MORNING. AREAS OF
FOG WILL OCCUR AHEAD OF THE FRONT FOR A FEW HOURS THIS MORNING...
BUT SHOULD DISSIPATE SHORTLY AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT.
MEANWHILE... AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE LOCATED OVER FAR SW TX/NRN
MEX WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTHERN TX TODAY
WHILE A FEW SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM COULD BRUSH FAR
SOUTHEAST OK.

WEAK LOW-LEVEL ISENTROPIC LIFTING COULD RESULT IN SOME LIGHT
DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE ACROSS NORTHERN OK FOR A FEW HOURS MONDAY
MORNING. PRIMARY ATTENTION SHIFTS NOW TO A STRONG STORM SYSTEM
MOVING ONTO THE WEST COAST EARLY THIS MORNING. THE SYSTEM WILL
BRING INCREASING CHANCES FOR WINTRY PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA
BEGINNING MONDAY NIGHT. A 1052 MB HIGH PRESSURE CENTER IS FORECAST
TO BUILD SOUTH THROUGH THE PLAINS MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...
BRINGING MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA. A WINTER STORM
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MUCH OF NORTHERN... CENTRAL AND PARTS OF
WESTERN OK FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF SIGNIFICANT WINTRY PRECIPITATION
AND BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

WITH THE COLD AIR DEEPENING FAIRLY QUICKLY... BELIEVE PERIODS OF
FREEZING RAIN WILL BE RELATIVELY SHORT... WITH THE SOUTH CENTRAL
AND SOUTHEAST SEEING THE MOST FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET. SOME AREAS
IN THE WATCH AREA COULD SEE 4 OR MORE INCHES OF SNOWFALL...
ALTHOUGH PINPOINTING HEAVIEST SNOW AREAS IS DIFFICULT ATTM. STRONG
NORTH WINDS AND FALLING TEMPERATURES LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY WILL CREATE BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS ALONG WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW. THE WINTER PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF FAIRLY QUICKLY BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE
UPPER SYSTEM STARTS TO SHIFT TO THE EAST. 

THE COLD WEATHER... AND SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES... ARE EXPECTED
TO LINGER INTO THURSDAY ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.

.DISCUSSION...
POTENTIALLY CRIPPLING COMBINATION OF WIND... COLD AND WINTER PRECIP NOW 
APPEARS IMMINENT FOR MUCH OF THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. WE 
WILL BE ISSUING A PDS VERSION OF THE WSW BY 3 PM WHICH WILL EXPAND 
THE WINTER STORM WATCH INTO THE REST OF WCENTRAL/SW OK AND OUR TX 
ZONES... UPGRADE CENTRAL AND NCENTRAL OK TO A WINTER STORM WARNING 
WHERE CONFIDENCE IS HIGHEST IN THE POTENTIAL FOR MAJOR IMPACTS... 
AND ADD A WIND CHILL WATCH FOR NW OK WHERE COMPUTED WIND CHILLS ARE 
-15 OR LESS DURING MUCH OF THE PERIOD FROM LATE MON NIGHT INTO WED 
MORNING. PARTS OF THE AREA EVENTUALLY COULD NEED AN UPGRADE TO 
BLIZZARD WARNING BY TUESDAY MORNING. 

CONDITIONS LOOK OKAY FOR THE MOST PART BETWEEN NOW AND LATE 
MONDAY... ALTHOUGH PARTS OF N AND CENTRAL OK MAY HAVE TO DEAL WITH A 
LITTLE FREEZING DRIZZLE LATER TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. WE WILL HANDLE 
THAT WITH AN ADVISORY IF NEEDED. OTHERWISE THE EMPHASIS AT THIS TIME 
IS ON GETTING EVERYONE TO TAKE PROPER STEPS NOW BY OBTAINING 
NECESSARY PROVISIONS... AND NOT PLANNING ON GOING ANYWHERE FROM LATE 
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE RAPIDLY AT SOME 
POINT MONDAY NIGHT AS N-NE WINDS INCREASE AND COLD AIR GETS COLDER 
AND DEEPER. PRECIP IS FORECAST TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY 
00-06Z AND ESPECIALLY 06-12Z MONDAY NIGHT. TRANSITION FROM LIQUID TO 
FREEZING TO FROZEN SHOULD BE FAIRLY RAPID GIVEN THE STRONG LOW-LEVEL 
COLD ADVECTION... ALTHOUGH SLEET MAY PERSIST INTO TUE MORNING SE 
PARTS OF AREA. LIMITED ICE ACCRETION WILL BE OFFSET BY STRONG 
WINDS... WHICH MAY BRING DOWN EVEN LIGHTLY-COATED TREES AND POWER 
LINES. FOCUS WILL BE LESS ON SNOW/ICE AMOUNTS AND MORE ON THE 
POTENTIAL FOR PARALYZING WINTER STORM CONDITIONS DUE TO SNOW AND 
BLOWING/DRIFTING ALONG WITH LIFE-THREATENING WIND CHILLS. THAT BEING 
SAID... WE CURRENTLY PAINT A BROAD BAND OF 4-8 INCHES CENTERED 
ROUGHLY LAWTON-OKC-STILLWATER WITH 2-5 OVER MUCH OF THE REST OF THE 
WATCH AREA. GIVEN THE LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE BLOWING/DRIFTING... WE 
MAY NEVER REALLY KNOW. OBVIOUS ANALOG WOULD BE XMAS EVE 2009... AND 
FOR SOME AREAS THIS MAY BE AS BAD OR WORSE THAN THAT ONE. 

SNOW TAPERS OFF LATE TUE BUT WIND AND BLOWING/DRIFTING TO CONTINUE 
AS TEMPS AND WIND CHILLS DROP FURTHER. WIND CHILL ADVISORIES 
CERTAINLY WILL BE NEEDED ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS EVENT... OR WIND 
CHILL WARNINGS EXPANDED. THIS MAY BE THE COLDEST THAT MANY AREAS
HAVE EXPERIENCED IN YEARS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

948 PM CST SUN JAN 30 2011

.DISCUSSION...
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE IS MAINTAINING A LARGE AREA OF CLOUD COVER OVER
OUR FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE CLOUDS
FORMS A ZIGZAG PATTERN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF OUR AREA. THE
WIND PATTERN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO SUGGESTS THAT THE
SOUTHERN EDGE MAY WELL REMAIN FAIRLY RAGGED... AND THAT OUR TEXAS
AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA COUNTIES MAY SEE A LITTLE SUN NOW AND THEN
DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. WE WILL RAISE THE DAYTIME TEMPERATURES A
BIT FOR THE SOUTH AS A RESULT. THIS... HOWEVER... IS A LOW-
CONFIDENCE CHANGE.

SIMILARLY... PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER WILL HOLD TEMPERATURES UP
OVERNIGHT OVER MOST OF OKLAHOMA. THIS MEANS THAT WE WILL RAISE
MINIMUM TEMPERATURES SIGNIFICANTLY IN A FEW SPOTS IN NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA. THIS WILL ALSO LEAD TO NON-DIURNAL TEMPERATURE PATTERNS
TOMORROW... AS DAYTIME HIGHS IN MANY PLACES WILL BE REACHED EARLY
IN THE DAY.

RADAR IN HIGH-SENSITIVITY MODE SHOWS SOME WEAK ECHOES... ALTHOUGH
SURFACE REPORTS SHOW NOTHING HITTING THE GROUND AT THIS POINT.
GIVEN THE SATURATED LOW-LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE... AND SOME WEAK
ISENTROPIC LIFT FORECAST OVERNIGHT... WE WILL RETAIN THE DRIZZLE
AND FREEZING DRIZZLE CHANCES NEAR AND EAST OF I-35.

THE BIG STORM TOMORROW NIGHT AND TUESDAY STILL LOOKS LIKE IT WILL
BE MAINLY SNOW... EXCEPT OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA... WHERE A LONGER PERIOD OF FREEZING DRIZZLE/RAIN OR
SLEET APPEARS MORE LIKELY. MODEL DATA ARE STILL COMING IN... SO WE
WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO LATER PERIODS AT THIS POINT.

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON DEVELOPING WINTER STORM THAT WILL
AFFECT THE AREA TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. UNTIL THEN... MOSTLY CLOUDY
AND COOL CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TODAY WITH SOME PATCHES OF VERY LIGHT
DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. BY
TONIGHT... AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE SW US
AND INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. AT THE SAME TIME... A STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE WILL BUILD SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE PLAINS BRINGING
MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES TO THE REGION. THE PAST FEW MODEL RUNS
CONTINUE TO SHOW PRETTY GOOD CONSISTENCY REGARDING THE LOCATION
AND AMOUNTS OF THE HEAVIER SNOWFALL. WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THE
HIGHEST AMOUNTS TO BE ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL OK WHERE
4-8 INCHES ARE EXPECTED... WITH ISOLATED HIGHER TOTALS POSSIBLE.
HOWEVER... WHILE WE HAVE NOTED THAT THE LATEST 06Z NAM DEVELOPS A
RATHER SHARP SNOWFALL GRADIENT GENERALLY NW OF I-44 IN CENTRAL
OK... WE WILL SEE IF THAT TREND PERSISTS IN OTHER MODELS AND LATER
RUNS.

WE EXPECT FREEZING/FROZEN PRECIPITATION TO DEVELOP THIS EVENING
AND INCREASE THROUGH THE NIGHT. AS THE COLD AIR DEEPENS... THE
MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE OVER TO SNOW FROM NW TO SE TONIGHT
AND INTO EARLY TUESDAY. THE SOUTHEAST COULD SEE THE MOST ICE WITH
SOME FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET. THAT AREA WILL SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE
HIGHEST QPF AMOUNTS... BUT TIMING OF THE PHASE-CHANGES WILL BE
SOMEWHAT PROBLEMATIC. MEANWHILE... THE PRESENCE OF MID-LEVEL
CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY SUGGESTS THAT A FEW T-STORMS WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OK AND N-TX TONIGHT.

THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD DECREASE IN INTENSITY BY MIDDAY
TUESDAY... ALTHOUGH LIGHT SNOW COULD PERSIST THROUGH EARLY
EVENING. THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WILL BE THE STRONG WINDS AND
VERY COLD TEMPERATURES POURING INTO THE REGION TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY. NOT ONLY COULD THE WINTRY PRECIPITATION MAKE TRAVEL
HAZARDOUS... BUT DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS WILL ALSO BE A HAZARD FOR
ANYONE CAUGHT OUT IN THE WEATHER.

ONCE THE THE VERY COLD TEMPERATURES MOVE IN... WITH LOWS IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS AND EVEN FALLING BELOW ZERO IN PARTS OF NORTHERN
OK... MOST LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY NOT GET ABOVE FREEZING UNTIL
FRIDAY.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
1139 AM CST MON JAN 31 2011

.AVIATION...
GENERALLY MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
BIG CHANGES ARE ON THE WAY AS WE ARE CONTINUING TO WATCH A
DEVELOPING WINTER STORM. THE SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL BEGIN TO
AFFECT MUCH OF THE REGION LATE THIS EVENING INTO A GOOD PORTION OF
TOMORROW. A VARIETY OF WINTER WEATHER WILL AFFECT ALL SITES...
BEFORE SWITCHING OVER TO ALL SNOW BY 0112Z. IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE
THE RULE AS VISIBILITIES WILL FALL BELOW ONE MILE AT TIMES WITH
THE STRONG NORTH WINDS AND HEAVIER SNOWFALL. ALTHOUGH NOT INCLUDED
IN THIS FORECAST...IT IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION TO HAVE A PERIOD
OF LIFR CONDITIONS FROM KLAW...NORTHEAST THROUGH KOUN AND KOKC...
AND NORTH TO KPNC AFTER SUNRISE TOMORROW MORNING. THE STORM SHOULD
BEGIN TO EXIT TOWARD THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD... ALTHOUGH LIGHT
SNOW... AND CONTINUED BLOWING SNOW WILL CONTINUE MOST AREAS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 547 AM CST MON JAN 31 2011/ 

AVIATION...
EXCEPT FOR SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER TODAY NEAR AND SOUTH OF
THE RED RIVER... GENERALLY MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL INTO THE
EVENING HOURS. OCCASIONAL IFR CEILINGS AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES IN
FOG WILL OCCUR ACROSS NW OK THIS MORNING. A DEVELOPING WINTER
STORM WILL SPREAD A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION... BEGINNING IN NW OK THIS EVENING... AND SPREADING OVER ALL
TERMINALS DURING THE NIGHT. 

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 412 AM CST MON JAN 31 2011/ 

DISCUSSION...
MAIN FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON DEVELOPING WINTER STORM THAT WILL
AFFECT THE AREA TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. UNTIL THEN... MOSTLY CLOUDY
AND COOL CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TODAY WITH SOME PATCHES OF VERY LIGHT
DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. BY
TONIGHT... AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE SW US
AND INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. AT THE SAME TIME... A STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE WILL BUILD SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE PLAINS BRINGING
MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES TO THE REGION. THE PAST FEW MODEL RUNS
CONTINUE TO SHOW PRETTY GOOD CONSISTENCY REGARDING THE LOCATION
AND AMOUNTS OF THE HEAVIER SNOWFALL. WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THE
HIGHEST AMOUNTS TO BE ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL OK WHERE
4-8 INCHES ARE EXPECTED... WITH ISOLATED HIGHER TOTALS POSSIBLE.
HOWEVER... WHILE WE HAVE NOTED THAT THE LATEST 06Z NAM DEVELOPS A
RATHER SHARP SNOWFALL GRADIENT GENERALLY NW OF I-44 IN CENTRAL
OK... WE WILL SEE IF THAT TREND PERSISTS IN OTHER MODELS AND LATER
RUNS.

WE EXPECT FREEZING/FROZEN PRECIPITATION TO DEVELOP THIS EVENING
AND INCREASE THROUGH THE NIGHT. AS THE COLD AIR DEEPENS... THE
MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE OVER TO SNOW FROM NW TO SE TONIGHT
AND INTO EARLY TUESDAY. THE SOUTHEAST COULD SEE THE MOST ICE WITH
SOME FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET. THAT AREA WILL SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE
HIGHEST QPF AMOUNTS... BUT TIMING OF THE PHASE-CHANGES WILL BE
SOMEWHAT PROBLEMATIC. MEANWHILE... THE PRESENCE OF MID-LEVEL
CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY SUGGESTS THAT A FEW T-STORMS WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OK AND N-TX TONIGHT.

THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD DECREASE IN INTENSITY BY MIDDAY
TUESDAY... ALTHOUGH LIGHT SNOW COULD PERSIST THROUGH EARLY
EVENING. THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WILL BE THE STRONG WINDS AND
VERY COLD TEMPERATURES POURING INTO THE REGION TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY. NOT ONLY COULD THE WINTRY PRECIPITATION MAKE TRAVEL
HAZARDOUS... BUT DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS WILL ALSO BE A HAZARD FOR
ANYONE CAUGHT OUT IN THE WEATHER.

ONCE THE THE VERY COLD TEMPERATURES MOVE IN... WITH LOWS IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS AND EVEN FALLING BELOW ZERO IN PARTS OF NORTHERN
OK... MOST LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY NOT GET ABOVE FREEZING UNTIL
FRIDAY.

.DISCUSSION...
...BLIZZARD AND OTHER DANGEROUS WINTER WEATHER TUESDAY...

AN UPPER TROUGH WILL SWING INTO A NEGATIVELY TILTED CONFIGURATION AS 
IT IS KICKED OUT OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST TOWARD CENTRAL OKLAHOMA 
TUESDAY MORNING. THE TROUGH WILL ENCOUNTER A TIGHTENING FRONTAL ZONE 
SEPARATING HUMID MARITIME POLAR AIR FROM MID WINTER ARCTIC. DEEP 
CYCLOGENESIS WILL OCCUR OVER OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS. LIFTING IS 
TYPICALLY MOST INTENSE DURING THIS TYPE OF DEEPENING...MEANING 
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION...RELATIVELY HEAVY FOR MID WINTER.

DURING THE EVENING...MOST SHOWERS CONFINED TO THE RED RIVER AREA. 
PRECIP WILL INCREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND AS THE CYCLONE DEVELOPS 
THERE WILL BE A TRANSITION OF PRECIP TYPE. A WARM NOSE IN THE 
SOUNDINGS...LEFT OVER FROM OUR ANOMALOUSLY WARM WEEKEND...WILL LEAD 
TO A PERIOD OF RAIN...FREEZING RAIN...AND SLEET FROM CENTRAL 
OKLAHOMA SOUTHWESTWARD. THIS CREATES SOME CONFUSION... AS THE NAM 
SNOW ALGORITHM KICKS OUT HEAVY SNOW IN A BAND ACROSS NORTH TEXAS AND 
SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA TONIGHT. GIVEN A STRONG 3-5 DEGREE CELSIUS WARM 
NOSE...ATOP INCREASING SURFACE COLD ADVECTION...THIS BAND WILL 
LIKELY CONSIST OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET. THUNDER IS ALSO LIKELY 
FROM CENTRAL OKLAHOMA SOUTHWESTWARD. WE INCREASED ICE ACCUMULATION 
UP TO ONE QUARTER INCH...AND THIS IS ONE REASON OUR SNOW TOTALS 
DECREASE TOWARD THE SOUTH...ESPECIALLY SINCE THE STRONG LIFT WILL 
SHIFT UP INTO CENTRAL AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA BY THE TIME TEMPERATURES 
ARE SUPPORTIVE OF ALL SNOW. AN EARLIER CHANGEOVER...THOUGH...WOULD 
MEAN MORE SNOW...POSSIBLY HEAVY...INTO SOUTH CENTRAL AND EAST 
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO WATCH THIS CLOSELY.

BY MORNING...THE MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL CLOSE OFF...AND MODELS ARE 
FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN PLACEMENT OF THE 700 MB LOW NEAR OR JUST EAST 
OF OKLAHOMA CITY BY 9 AM TO NOON. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW STEEP 
UPPER LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND STRONG...DEEP ASCENT...CAPABLE OF 
PRODUCING HEAVY SNOW AND EVEN ISOLATED THUNDER. THIS IS REFLECTED IN 
THE SNOW GRIDS FROM THE NAM AND SREF...WHICH PRODUCE IMPRESSIVE SNOW 
RATES...MORE THAN ONE INCH PER HOUR...DURING THE MORNING. ALSO ON 
TUESDAY...THE GRADIENT BETWEEN A 1052 MB ARCTIC HIGH AND ROUGHLY 995 
MB LOW WILL DRIVE A DANGEROUS NORTHWESTERLY WIND DURING AND 
FOLLOWING THE STORM. THE MOS CAME UP CLOSER TO WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT 
WITH THIS GRADIENT...FORECASTING 35 MPH SUSTAINED WINDS. GUSTS OVER 
45 MPH SHOULD BE COMMON. FOR THIS REASON...WE UPGRADED TO BLIZZARD 
WARNING IN THE AREA WHERE HEAVY SNOW RATES ARE MOST CERTAIN. NEAR 
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO EXIST ELSEWHERE AS WELL...AND IT 
WILL GENERALLY BE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DAY TO BE TRAVELING. EVEN 
PEDESTRIANS IN FAMILIAR AREAS MAY BECOME DISORIENTED. WIND CHILL 
TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLDER THAN MANY OKLAHOMANS AND TEXANS HAVE 
EXPERIENCED IN MORE THAN TEN YEARS.

BECAUSE A WIND CHILL WATCH HAD BEEN IN EFFECT IN THE NORTHWEST...WE 
UPGRADED TO WARNING THERE THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. OTHER AREAS 
WILL NEED A WIND CHILL ADVISORY BY TUESDAY EVENING...BUT FOR NOW WE 
HAVE WRAPPED THE WIND CHILL MESSAGE INTO THE BLIZZARD AND WINTER

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
425 AM CST TUE FEB 1 2011

.DISCUSSION...
SNOW IS THE DOMINANT PRECIP TYPE EARLY THIS MORNING WITH
SLEET AND SOME FREEZING RAIN LIMITED TO SOUTHEAST 1/4 OF 
FA. ATOKA AND DURANT ARE JUST BELOW FREEZING SO SOME ICE
ACCUMULATION LIKELY BEFORE PRECIP CHANGES TO SLEET AND 
SNOW. IMPRESSIVE SNOWFALL RATES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED WITHIN THE
PAST HOUR (2 TO 3 INCHES) WHICH COINCIDES WITH SEVERAL LIGHTNING
STRIKES POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY/GRADY. WHITEOUT CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR
WITHIN ENHANCED AREAS OF PRECIPITATION MAKING TRAVEL VERY
TREACHEROUS AT TIMES. INCREASED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS FARTHER SOUTH
INTO PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA... BUT THIS AREA
SHOULD SEE PRECIP END FIRST AS TROUGH LIFTS NORTHEAST BY18-20Z.


SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE BEEN IN THE 25 TO 30 RANGE...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA BUT A GENERALLY INCREASE WILL LIKELY
OCCUR DURING THE MORNING AS THE SURFACE LOW DEEPENS AS IT MOVES
NORTHEAST INTO ARKATEX REGION.  FREQUENT GUSTS TO 40 HAVE ALSO
BEEN SEEN ACROSS WESTERN PARTS OF THE STATE.

AS SYSTEM MOVES EAST OF THE AREA LATE TODAY...CONSIDERABLE BLOWING
AND DRIFTING OF SNOW WILL OCCUR AS WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG.
AS WINTER STORM/BLIZZARD WARNINGS ARE CANCELLED/EXPIRE WILL LIKELY
NEED TO PLACE MANY AREAS IN A WIND CHILL ADVISORY TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. 

COLD WILL BE THE STORY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AS THE COLD SURFACE
HIGH SETTLES OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY THURSDAY MORNING.  WITH
SUBSTANTIAL SNOW COVER MANY AREAS WILL SEE SUB-ZERO TEMPS...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS NORTHERN HALF OF FA.


SECOND TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT
BUT PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE MINIMAL WITH THIS FEATURE.  TEMPERATURES
WILL WARM GOING INTO THE WEEKEND WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS BUT ANOTHER
BLAST OF COLD AIR SEEMS POSSIBLE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

556 AM CST TUE FEB 1 2011

.AVIATION...
PRECIP TYPE AT ALL TAF SITES WILL BE SNOW AND BLOWING
SNOW. BACK EDGE OF PERSISTENT PRECIPITATION HAS REACH
FAR WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND THIS WILL CONTINUE INTO
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING. VLIFR TO IFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE MOST/ALL TAF SITES DURING THE
NEXT 3 TO 6 HOURS. STRONG NORTH WINDS WILL CREATE 
CONSIDERABLE BLSN SO WILL LEAVE IN SOME RESTRICTION TO
VISIBILITY INTO THE AFTERNOON/EVENING.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 425 AM CST TUE FEB 1 2011/ 

DISCUSSION...
SNOW IS THE DOMINANT PRECIP TYPE EARLY THIS MORNING WITH
SLEET AND SOME FREEZING RAIN LIMITED TO SOUTHEAST 1/4 OF 
FA. ATOKA AND DURANT ARE JUST BELOW FREEZING SO SOME ICE
ACCUMULATION LIKELY BEFORE PRECIP CHANGES TO SLEET AND 
SNOW. IMPRESSIVE SNOWFALL RATES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED WITHIN THE
PAST HOUR (2 TO 3 INCHES) WHICH COINCIDES WITH SEVERAL LIGHTNING
STRIKES POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY/GRADY. WHITEOUT CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR
WITHIN ENHANCED AREAS OF PRECIPITATION MAKING TRAVEL VERY
TREACHEROUS AT TIMES. INCREASED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS FARTHER SOUTH
INTO PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA... BUT THIS AREA
SHOULD SEE PRECIP END FIRST AS TROUGH LIFTS NORTHEAST BY18-20Z.

SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE BEEN IN THE 25 TO 30 RANGE...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA BUT A GENERALLY INCREASE WILL LIKELY
OCCUR DURING THE MORNING AS THE SURFACE LOW DEEPENS AS IT MOVES
NORTHEAST INTO ARKATEX REGION.  FREQUENT GUSTS TO 40 HAVE ALSO
BEEN SEEN ACROSS WESTERN PARTS OF THE STATE.

AS SYSTEM MOVES EAST OF THE AREA LATE TODAY...CONSIDERABLE BLOWING
AND DRIFTING OF SNOW WILL OCCUR AS WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG.
AS WINTER STORM/BLIZZARD WARNINGS ARE CANCELLED/EXPIRE WILL LIKELY
NEED TO PLACE MANY AREAS IN A WIND CHILL ADVISORY TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. 

COLD WILL BE THE STORY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AS THE COLD SURFACE
HIGH SETTLES OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY THURSDAY MORNING.  WITH
SUBSTANTIAL SNOW COVER MANY AREAS WILL SEE SUB-ZERO TEMPS...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS NORTHERN HALF OF FA.

SECOND TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT
BUT PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE MINIMAL WITH THIS FEATURE.  TEMPERATURES
WILL WARM GOING INTO THE WEEKEND WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS BUT ANOTHER
BLAST OF COLD AIR SEEMS POSSIBLE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

.DISCUSSION...WE HAVE SEEN THE BENEFITS OF EARLY WARNING TODAY... AS 
MOST PEOPLE APPEAR TO HAVE STAYED HOME DURING AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS 
COMBINATION OF COLD AND SNOW. THE WORST OF THE SNOWFALL HAD ENDED AS 
OF MID AFTERNOON...WITH ONLY LIGHT SNOW REMAINING AND DWINDLING OVER 
NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE...HOWEVER...THAT 
DANGEROUS OUTDOOR CONDITIONS ARE HERE TO STAY FOR AN EXTENDED TIME.

THE OKLAHOMA CLIMATOLOGICAL SURVEY TELLS US THAT EARLY THIS MORNING 
THE OKLAHOMA MESONET AT BOISE CITY SET A RECORD FOR THAT OBSERVING 
NETWORK...WITH A WIND CHILL TEMPERATURE OF 36 BELOW ZERO. EVEN THIS 
AFTERNOON...WIND CHILLS ARE COMMONLY AROUND 10 BELOW FROM CENTRAL 
OKLAHOMA NORTH AND WESTWARD. ALTHOUGH THE EXCESSIVE WIND SPEEDS AND

TIME...AS A LARGE ARCTIC HIGH BUILDS DOWN FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS. 
THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL ARCTIC OUTBREAK FOR OUR AREA...AND THE 
EXTREME COLD WILL PERSIST THROUGH THURSDAY. WE HAVE REPLACED THE 
WINTER STORM AND BLIZZARD WARNINGS WITH WIND CHILL ADVISORIES AND 
WARNINGS THAT GO THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. 

WITH THE BRISK WINDS...ADVECTION AND MIXING WILL BE THE DOMINANT 
INFLUENCE ON LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT. MANY LOCATIONS WILL SEE AIR 
TEMPERATURE DROP JUST BELOW ZERO FAHRENHEIT. IT WILL BE EVEN COLDER 
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE ARRIVES OVER THE 
FRESH SNOW FIELD. SOME WEAK WARM ADVECTION AT 700 MB WILL PROVIDE A 
LITTLE CLOUD COVER AND PERHAPS SNOW FLURRIES IN NORTH TEXAS AND 
SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUT AREAS FARTHER 
NORTH SHOULD BE RELATIVELY CLEAR...WITH AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO RADIATE 
AT NIGHT...RESULTING IN LOWS APPROACHING 10 BELOW. WINDS WILL BE 
LIGHTER BY THAT TIME.

DOWNSLOPE WARMING WILL TAKE PLACE THURSDAY-FRIDAY...AND ESPECIALLY 
SATURDAY WHEN A WARM FRONT LIFTS THROUGH FROM THE WEST. WE MODIFIED 
THE GUIDANCE TEMPS BASED ON THE EXISTING SNOW COVER. ONCE WE THAW 
OUT FROM THIS CURRENT STORM...ANOTHER ARCTIC FRONT WILL START TO

HIGH AND LOW WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES BUILDING IN SUNDAY NIGHT AND 
MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT BE A MAJOR STORM...BUT THERE APPEARS TO

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 349 PM CST TUE FEB 1 2011/ 

DISCUSSION...WE HAVE SEEN THE BENEFITS OF EARLY WARNING TODAY... AS 
MOST PEOPLE APPEAR TO HAVE STAYED HOME DURING AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS 
COMBINATION OF COLD AND SNOW. THE WORST OF THE SNOWFALL HAD ENDED AS 
OF MID AFTERNOON...WITH ONLY LIGHT SNOW REMAINING AND DWINDLING OVER 
NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE...HOWEVER...THAT 
DANGEROUS OUTDOOR CONDITIONS ARE HERE TO STAY FOR AN EXTENDED TIME.

THE OKLAHOMA CLIMATOLOGICAL SURVEY TELLS US THAT EARLY THIS MORNING 
THE OKLAHOMA MESONET AT BOISE CITY SET A RECORD FOR THAT OBSERVING 
NETWORK...WITH A WIND CHILL TEMPERATURE OF 36 BELOW ZERO. EVEN THIS 
AFTERNOON...WIND CHILLS ARE COMMONLY AROUND 10 BELOW FROM CENTRAL 
OKLAHOMA NORTH AND WESTWARD. ALTHOUGH THE EXCESSIVE WIND SPEEDS AND 
GUSTS WILL DIMINISH WHEN LOW PRESSURE PULLS AWAY TO OUR EAST THIS 
EVENING...BRISK WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WILL CONTINUE FOR AN EXTENDED 
TIME...AS A LARGE ARCTIC HIGH BUILDS DOWN FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS. 
THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL ARCTIC OUTBREAK FOR OUR AREA...AND THE 
EXTREME COLD WILL PERSIST THROUGH THURSDAY. WE HAVE REPLACED THE 
WINTER STORM AND BLIZZARD WARNINGS WITH WIND CHILL ADVISORIES AND 
WARNINGS THAT GO THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. 

WITH THE BRISK WINDS...ADVECTION AND MIXING WILL BE THE DOMINANT 
INFLUENCE ON LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT. MANY LOCATIONS WILL SEE AIR 
TEMPERATURE DROP JUST BELOW ZERO FAHRENHEIT. IT WILL BE EVEN COLDER 
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE ARRIVES OVER THE 
FRESH SNOW FIELD. SOME WEAK WARM ADVECTION AT 700 MB WILL PROVIDE A 
LITTLE CLOUD COVER AND PERHAPS SNOW FLURRIES IN NORTH TEXAS AND 
SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUT AREAS FARTHER 
NORTH SHOULD BE RELATIVELY CLEAR...WITH AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO RADIATE 
AT NIGHT...RESULTING IN LOWS APPROACHING 10 BELOW. WINDS WILL BE 
LIGHTER BY THAT TIME.

DOWNSLOPE WARMING WILL TAKE PLACE THURSDAY-FRIDAY...AND ESPECIALLY 
SATURDAY WHEN A WARM FRONT LIFTS THROUGH FROM THE WEST. WE MODIFIED 
THE GUIDANCE TEMPS BASED ON THE EXISTING SNOW COVER. ONCE WE THAW 
OUT FROM THIS CURRENT STORM...ANOTHER ARCTIC FRONT WILL START TO 
DOMINATE HEADLINES. THERE IS GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT...WITH AN ARCTIC 
HIGH AND LOW WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES BUILDING IN SUNDAY NIGHT AND 
MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT BE A MAJOR STORM...BUT THERE APPEARS TO 
BE ENOUGH UPPER SUPPORT IN NORTHWEST FLOW...TO RESULT IN A FRONTAL 
BAND OF PRECIPITATION CHANGING OVER TO SNOW SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.

EVEN COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED MONDAY AS COOL AIR CONTINUES 
TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. LOW PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL EXPAND NORTH 
AND WEST SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL

TO EAST TUESDAY NIGHT. BRISK NORTH WINDS WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE 
COLDER AIR LEADING TO EVEN COLDER WIND CHILLS... WITH BELOW ZERO

WILDFIRE POTENTIAL TODAY AND SATURDAY. THE WORST FIRE WEATHER 
CONDITIONS COULD BE SATURDAY AFTERNOON WHEN THERE IS THE POTENTIAL 
FOR STRONGER WINDS.
