827 FXUS64 KOUN 021754 AFDOUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 1154 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1151 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 - Warm and dry conditions are expected in the coming week. && .NEAR TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 1147 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 Clear skies will continue through the rest of the near-term period. Southerly winds will be breezy at times this afternoon in western Oklahoma and western north Texas where surface troughing has begun to develop. Otherwise, temperatures will continue to moderate relative to the last few days in part due to the influence of an approaching ridge. Meister && .SHORT TERM... (Monday through Tuesday night) Issued at 1147 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 The subtropical ridge will translate eastward and expand in wavelength from tomorrow morning through Tuesday night. Our area will remain on the southern periphery of the mid-latitude westerlies, but enough influence is expected from the ridging to keep things on the sunny/clear side. Winds will be somewhat light and varied tomorrow with a weak frontal boundary potentially reaching northern Oklahoma early in the day. This will keep temperatures closer to 70 along and north of a line from Stillwater to Woodward. Further south of the boundary, the ridge`s influence will allow temperatures to soar well into the 70s to low 80s. Southerly winds will return on Tuesday and could get rather breezy, especially along the I-44 corridor. Fire weather is not expected to be a concern near I-44 despite recent frost/potential curing of grasses, in part because limited moisture return (dewpoints in the 40s to 50s) will occur. In western Oklahoma, west of the likeliest moisture return axis, elevated fire weather conditions are possible. Area-wide temperatures will range from the mid-70s to low-80s Tuesday afternoon. Meister && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Saturday) Issued at 1245 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025 Above-average temperatures and dry surface conditions will remain the main story into the midweek and beyond. The upper air pattern will generally feature quasi-zonal flow, with potential for an upper ridge to traverse portions of the north-central CONUS by Thursday. Daytime temperature departures look to continue running +15-25 degrees during the period, with multiple days of 80+ degree high temperatures continuing across the Red River Valley. Outside of a very low (10-20%) chance for precipitation across northeastern Oklahoma on Friday morning, associated with a passing wave across the Plains, dry weather is currently favored. Ungar && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1151 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 VFR conditions will prevail through 18Z Monday. A breezy southerly wind this afternoon will decrease around sunset. Early Monday, a weak frontal boundary will move across parts of northern and western Oklahoma. This should mainly provide a weak wind shift at CSM/WWR/PNC/SWO. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
