448 FXUS64 KOUN 021749 AFDOUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 1149 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1132 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 - A cold front Wednesday will bring colder weather into Thursday. Breezy post-frontal winds may give way to single digit to teens wind chill values. - There is a slight chance for light wintry precipitation Thursday morning across western north Texas and far southern Oklahoma. && .NEAR TERM... (Through Tuesday) Issued at 1212 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 Surface ridge will continue to push off to the east today as lee troughing increasing along the Rockies. That being said, southerly winds will return across the southern Plains by this afternoon. Temperatures will be much warmer this afternoon beneath sunny skies. We will mostly see afternoon highs in the 50s for the entire area. Bunker && .SHORT TERM... (Tuesday night through Thursday night) Issued at 1212 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 A weak front will begin to move into the northwest portions of Oklahoma on Tuesday night. Overnight temperatures ahead of this boundary will be in the low to mid 30s, and into the 20s along and behind the front. The next mid-level trough will dig into the Desert Southwest on Wednesday, helping to push the front through the area by the late morning hours. Winds behind the front area expected to be breezy, and will roughly be between 15-25 mph. The drier air will keep afternoon highs similar to Tuesday, with most locations in the 50s and perhaps even low 60s across southern Oklahoma. As the main wave traverses the Rockies Thursday morning, there is a low chance for wintry mix across portions of western north Texas and southern Oklahoma. These chances are low at this time, as drier mid- level and low-level air may inhibit any precipitation at all. Should precipitation begin in the morning, it will transition to rain during the late morning and early afternoon as temperatures warm up above freezing. At this time, little-to-no accumulation is expected. Bunker && .LONG TERM... (Friday through Monday) Issued at 1212 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 By Friday and Saturday, temperatures are expected to rebound back up into the 50s to 60s, with dry conditions. Another cold front will move in Saturday evening, knocking temperatures down a few degrees on Sunday. Dry conditions will continue through the weekend and into the early portions of next week. Bunker && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1132 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 All of our terminals should remain in a VFR category through the entire forecast period. A surface low lee of the Colorado/New Mexico Rockies will maintain south-southwest surface winds through the next 6-hours at 10 kts gusting to 15kts. After 00Z surface winds will back south-southeast decreasing 5-10 kts. A low-level jet is expected to increase out of the south by 06Z which could produce low-level wind shear conditions impacting all terminals except for KCSM & KWWR for about 6 hours. A cold front will start approaching northwest Oklahoma around 12Z producing a northerly wind shift at 15 kts gusting to 25 kts behind the front. Expecting the frontal boundary/wind shift to have moved through terminals KWWR and KCSM by 16Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
