632 FXUS64 KTSA 250448 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1048 PM CST Sun Nov 24 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of tonight) Issued at 940 PM CST Sun Nov 24 2024 Cold front, currently moving into Pawnee/Osage counties this evening, will continue pushing south overnight. Gusty north winds will increase at 20 to 30 mph behind the front across northeast Oklahoma with wind chills falling to around 30 degrees by Monday morning near the OK/KS state line. Current short term forecast on track this evening with no significant changes anticipated. && .LONG TERM... (Monday afternoon through Sunday) Issued at 1232 PM CST Sun Nov 24 2024 An upper wave just off the West Coast will move quickly east across the country this week, sliding over the central CONUS as we approach Thanksgiving. A west to east band of light post- frontal precip is forecast by the GFS and EC near and north of the KS/MO borders Wednesday into Thanksgiving Day. The GFS is farther south and slower, while the EC is faster and mainly north of the KS/MO borders. Ensemble cluster data from 00Z last night shows basically equal chances of the former and latter solutions. With the blended guidance (NBM) forecast below mentionable levels, it is prudent at this point to at least insert a mention of precip and thus have gone slight chance, like the previous shift. Thermal profiles do cool enough during this time frame to justify a rain/snow mix, which will be carried in the grids. There is no accumulation or impact expected from this, regardless. Colder temps will follow in the wake of this system for Thanksgiving Day with some modification expected thru Saturday. Indications are another stronger front is expected to plunge south down the Plains by around Sunday, with the coldest temps seen in quite some time expected behind this front. We`ll just have to wait and see. Lacy && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1045 PM CST Sun Nov 24 2024 Cold front nearing I-44 corridor at present will continue pushing southeast through the area tonight, likely passing through all sites by shortly after 12z. Winds switch to NNW with gusts 20-25 knots becoming more common a few hours after initial wind shift. Lower ceilings will move in behind the front as well, with MVFR conditions likely for several hours, potentially lingering into Monday evening across northwest AR. WInds will diminish after 00z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
