.NEAR TERM...
(Through Tuesday)
Issued at 143 AM CST Tue Nov 4 2025

The warm front, which was poised over northern Oklahoma, lifts
northward today and merges with a developing surface cyclone over
the north-central plains. The tightening of the pressure gradient
between this newly formed feature and the surface high (to our
east) will result in breezy S/SW winds up to 20 mph with gusts to
30 mph today. Increasing H850 temperatures, along with sunny
skies, will yield very warm temperatures across the area with
highs in the upper 70`s and low 80`s (roughly 10 degrees above
normal).

.SHORT TERM...
(Tuesday night through Thursday night)
Issued at 143 AM CST Tue Nov 4 2025

Strong jet stream winds over the northern CONUS will push the
aforementioned surface cyclone quickly eastward and the trailing
cold front enters Oklahoma late tonight into Wednesday morning.
Though winds will subside tonight, breezy north winds are
anticipated behind FROPA across northern and western Oklahoma by
mid-morning Wednesday. Expect cooler temperatures across the
northern half of Oklahoma on Wednesday, especially over northwest
Oklahoma, where highs will be in the upper 60`s. Southern portions
of the area will remain very warm, with highs in the low 80`s.

A low-amplitude upper ridge then traverses the plains and
temperatures will rise again on Thursday to the mid-70`s to mid-
80`s. Another (dry) frontal system arrives on Thursday night.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 143 AM CST Tue Nov 4 2025

The yo-yo effect, with respect to temperatures, will continue for
northern Oklahoma. Thursday night`s cold front will lead to
cooler weather once again on Friday. A strong cold front arrives
this weekend with much cooler temperatures forecast on Sunday. The
NBM (01Z Nov 4) has an increased liklihood of highs in the 50`s
for Sunday (compared to the run 24 hours ago) along with a high
chance of lows in the 30`s on Monday morning. Cool temperatures
are forecast to linger during the day Monday with afternoon highs
slightly higher than those seen on Sunday.

The probabilities for 50`s on Sunday: a) above 75% along/north of
the I-40 corridor, and b) above 50% down to a line from Altus to
Lawton to Marietta.

The probabilities for lows in the 30`s on Monday: a) 60 to 80%+
along/north of I-40 (minimum occurring in OKC due to heat island
effect), and b) greater than 60% for the remainder of our CWA.

No precipitation is forecast through the long term period.
