580 FXUS64 KOUN 042258 AFDOUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 458 PM CST Thu Dec 4 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 453 PM CST Thu Dec 4 2025 - Potential for freezing fog across western Oklahoma on Friday morning. - Generally seasonable and dry into next week, with a cooler day on Sunday behind a front. && .NEAR TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 1150 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025 A synoptically-driven pocket of very light snowfall is currently advancing across portions of western Oklahoma. Minimal accumulation or additional travel impact is expected with this activity into early this afternoon. Otherwise, temperatures will remain rather cold (30s) through the remainder of the day today, especially where low clouds persist for much/all of the remaining daylight hours. Ungar && .SHORT TERM... (Friday through Saturday night) Issued at 1150 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025 Seasonable and dry weather returns to close out the week/begin the weekend. Areas of freezing fog, introducing potential for slick surfaces (especially bridges & overpasses) and reduced visibility, will be possible across western Oklahoma towards daybreak on Friday morning. Otherwise, a much warmer day is expected by the early afternoon with mostly clear skies and generally light south- southwesterly surface winds. Saturday may again start with areas of fog, this time focusing across central and southern Oklahoma. Another afternoon of seasonable temperatures (50s to low-60s) is currently anticipated, with increasing cloud cover into the evening ahead of our next system/front. Ungar && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through next Wednesday) Issued at 1150 AM CST Thu Dec 4 2025 An "ebb and flow" type weather pattern looks to set up as we head into next week. Broad northwesterly upper flow looks to remain across the central CONUS for much of the period. A stronger embedded system looks to move across the Plains on Sunday, providing for the passage of a rather strong surface front during the morning. This will offer another bout of cool/cold (40s) afternoon temperatures on Sunday. Sensible conditions look to rebound some into the midweek before another system/front towards Wednesday. For now, no appreciable chance for precipitation is advertised during the period. Ungar && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 453 PM CST Thu Dec 4 2025 Continue to see some MVFR ceilings across the south and across the west into the evening hours before most sites go VFR through the remainder of the forecast period. One exception will be CSM where a period of fog is expected to impact the area with some dense freezing fog possible. Otherwise, winds will remain light through the night and shift to the south and southwest. Weak front will enter northwest Oklahoma Friday afternoon and bring north winds back to WWR and CSM tomorrow afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
