More arctic air on the way/Oklahoma

** More arctic air on the way
**** Several breezy/windy days ahead
**** Possible Winter Mix Tuesday night
**Next cold front forecast to push through much of the area by just after sunrise, with arctic air lagging behind. Temperatures may not get out of the 30s in northwest Oklahoma, while falling temperatures are expected from late-morning onward in central Oklahoma. Southwest Oklahoma will see falling temperatures into the afternoon. Fortunately there's not much moisture with this one. A few light flurries may occur near the Kansas border Saturday night. The biggest problem will be strong north winds, gusting to near 40 mph at times.Sunday will be cold, with temperatures starting in the 10s. Since only high clouds are expected, we should see 20s in the afternoon. North winds will gradually decrease. As winds go calm Monday morning, the bottom falls out. Northern OK should be in the single digits with near 10 in OKC. Mid 10s in southwest OK. On Monday we climb out of the freezer with 30s in the north, and near 40 in the southwest part of the state thanks to south winds. Tuesday will be warmer (40s-50s) as winds increase out of the south. Next problem maker is a cold front poised to arrive Tuesday night. There is enough cold air behind it to cause a concern for winter mix. Most likely what will happen is rain across eastern OK, a dry area along I-44, then some snow in northwest OK. However it is possible we could get a winter mix as temperatures drop below freezing. There is an upper level storm coming out at the same time which is cause for concern as it passes over at least NW OK if not the whole area. DGEX is slightly stronger and further south with the system compared to GFS.I'm not completely buying us getting above freezing Wednesday. Winds are out of the northwest at 20. GFS MOS has 40s. There looks to be tremendous downsloping Thursday, driving temperaturs up into the 50s during the afternoon. Friday should be near 60 in many areas before another batch of cold air arrives in time for next weekend.
Looking down the road, I'm slightly concerned about another batch of arctic air, or at least a significant cold front, arriving just in time for New Year celebrations.

Through sunday evening,
A winter storm watch remains in effect from sunday morning
Through sunday evening.
The watch covers all of northern connecticut, western and
Central massachusetts and southwest new hampshire.
A period of heavy snow is likely across this area with 4 to 8 inch
Amounts expected, with potential for amounts approaching 11 inches
Across the high terrain of western massachusetts and southern new
Hampshire.
The snow is expected to be a wetter snow for most of the watch
Area as compared to fridays storm. If 6 inch amounts of wet snow
Do occur, the result could be additional power outages.
Snow could end as sleet or rain late in the day.
Of greater consequence could be the combination of high wind and
Temperatures falling well below freezing sunday night. This would
Lead to blowing and drifting of the snow. A solid freezing of any
Slush will occur and in general continue what should be slippery
Travel sunday into sunday night, even after the precipitation
Has quit.
The watch area may eventually need a slight southeastward
Extension into both the boston and providence northern suburbs,
Inclusive of coastal essex county massachusetts and the hills of
Northern rhode island. This will be dependent on the final track
Of the explosive intensification of this low pressure center as
It cuts through buzzards bay, and, how much of todays rather
Notable cold air along the interstate 95 corridor is eroded.
Anyone with plans to be traveling sunday should be prepared for
Rapidly changing road conditions and probable delays, especially
Along interstates 84, 90, 91, 93 and 95 as well as route 2.
A winter storm watch is issued for the potential of accumulating
Snow of 6 or more inches in a 12 hour period, or 8 or more

Hazardous winter weather affecting the area through the
Weekend,
.low pressure moving across minnesota late this morning will
Continue to move east into western wisconsin through this
Afternoon. Snow will result, and will pick up in coverage and
Intensity through the afternoon. As of 1140 am, a couple inches
Of snow has already fallen in rochester minnesota, with near 2
And a half inches reported in stewartville minnesota. Expect the snowfall
To continue and become moderate at times with several inches of
Accumulation possible, especially across southern minnesota into
Western wisconsin by this evening. Meanwhile, as the low tracks
Into eastern wisconsin this evening, a surge of very cold arctic
Air on strong west to northwest winds will overtake the area. This
Will lead to significant blowing and drifting of snow this evening
And through sunday. This will be especially true in more open and
Flat areas across southeast minnesota and northeast iowa. Ridge
Tops and hilly areas could also have problems with blowing and
Drifting, and rapid reductions in visibilities. Total snowfall
Amounts through sunday morning could reach 5 to 7 inches north of

Area Forecast Discussion/OK/Greg Whitworth/Fox 25

** Potential for Slick roads north of I-40 from the western state line to north sides of OKC and northeast up the Turner Turnpike into Tulsa, then north of highway 412 east of Tulsa
**** Dense fog this morning, some ice where temperatures are below freezing
**** Temperatures may continue to rise tonight after dark
**** Second round of cold air, possible more winter mix coming
**An upper level storm over the southwestern US will eject eastward today, passing over Oklahoma, especially the northern counties. Meanwhile, southeast to south winds will pull moisture into the cold airmass over Oklahoma, gradually warming temperatures.Rain is expected to develop across the state as the upper level storm approaches. South winds should drive temperatures above freezing in most areas by 10 a.m. A weak frontal boundary stretches along and slightly north of I-40 this morning and has provided some transition between airmasses but is slowly eroding away.A warm front near the Red River (as I forecast last Sunday) will gradually make it's way into southwest OK. It is expected to pass through Altus but may not make it through Lawton. South of the front, highs should be near 60, while north of the front, across the majority of the state, temperatures will slowly climb into the 40s by afternoon. BUFKIT data from NAM handled this with reason with some minor model errors.Due to the nature of the saturated airmass with fog in the morning, temperatures will have a tough time warming. Increasing south wind speeds should cause temperatures to continue climbing after dark tonight. Today's high will likely be Tuesday's morning low.A weak front will drive in from the west overnight going into Friday, turning winds westerly. It may then be followed by a front out of the north, gradually turning winds northeast across the northern half of the state. Forecasters are all over the place with this one. I kept the 52 previously forecast. Skies look mostly sunny which should be a refreshing change to have a day with light winds and sun. However, I am concerned the day could turn out to be colder than 52. National snow analysis fromhttp://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/nsa/shows snowpack to our northeast. A northeasterly wind over the snowpack could be colder than a northwesterly wind where there's no snowpack. Unfortunately I didn't think to look at this before laying down the numbers.Another arctic front is forecast by most models to arrive around 21Z (3 pm) Saturday. History, and the previous arctic front, has proved that these often come in earlier than forecast. The last front came in about 5 hours early. As a result of this being an arctic airmass, I am pushing the time frame for frontal arrival up to 10 am (16z) and dropping the high temp on Saturday to 48 which might be generous.GFS/DGEX both wanted to clear the skies on Sunday after the frontal passage. History has also show that after some moisture return, an arctic airmass will hold clouds in place. I have discounted GFS/DGEX and kept it cloudy from Saturday straight through Monday. There looks to be several weak waves coming in from the west to spread clouds over us.ECMWF shows this next arctic airmass doesn't have quite the density or 850 mb cold values the last one was screaming at us. Therefore, I'm a bit puzzled why GFS and other forecasters have the nubmers so cold on Monday morning. I went ahead and kept it, and with light winds and clouds we should not get out of the teens if that morning low is correct.South winds kick in Monday night so we have a second case where the high temperature for Monday may be after dark and be the same as the Tuesday morning low.Model runs since Sunday have shown a system coming in the 23rd. I was about to write this in the last discussion but decided it was too far out and uncertain to mention at the time. I have introduced high pops at 40% Tuesday to account for consistency with the timing and strength of the incoming shortwave and cold front. Precipitation type looks to be a mix at this time but of course there's plenty of uncetainty and the GFS is not handling it well at all.With northwest winds on the 24th I do not think it will get out of the 20s given that the front and associated high look similar to the one coming in on Saturday. This could set us up for a cold Christmas but at this time I do not see any precipitation. Our only hope for snow will be the 23rd.
If you have any good photos of freezing fog, weather related accidents, ice, etc, feel free to send them to weather@okcfox.com I'm trying to set up where these discussions will come from weather@okcfox.com ..If I can get the server to save the email list.
