(Today and tonight)

After a cold, cloudy and locally foggy start, seasonable early-
December weather is expected this afternoon. A stagnant area of
stratus across the eastern two-thirds of Oklahoma is quickly
eroding late this morning. Afternoon and early evening
temperatures will be strongly moderated by the longevity of cloud
cover, with mid to upper-50s west and southwest giving way to
upper-40s across central and eastern Oklahoma.

Not quite as cold overnight tonight, with slightly stronger
southwesterly surface winds and potential for passing areas of
mid/high clouds. Patchy fog will again be possible towards daybreak
Tuesday across portions of western Oklahoma.

.SHORT TERM...
(Tuesday through Wednesday night)
Issued at 1142 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

Persistent northwesterly upper flow remains over the central CONUS
into the midweek, with a strong embedded system moving across the
Dakotas on Tuesday. Increasing southwesterly surface winds (owing to
a more pronounced surface pressure gradient), advection of a warmer
low-level airmass and mostly clear skies will allow for a warmer day
areawide on Tuesday. A few locations across far western Oklahoma and
western-north Texas will approach 70 degrees by the mid-afternoon.

The aforementioned northern stream system will push a trailing
surface front across the area from Tuesday evening into Wednesday
morning. Given the trajectory of the parent system (well to our
north & east), the pocket of coldest post-frontal air will angle
towards the Ohio Valley. Therefore, greatest sensible impact with
this feature looks to be a southwest-to-north/northeasterly wind
shift on Wednesday morning, with potential for a few morning time
gusts up to 25-30 mph. Afternoon conditions will likely run a few
degrees cooler than Tuesday, though look to remain at or slightly
above normal for December 10th.

Heading into the latter half of the week and into the weekend, the
pattern aloft continues to feature northwesterly flow aloft with a
strong jet digging into the Plains. There is decent confidence of
this cold front at the end of the week bringing cold air by the
weekend. However, the latest ensemble guidance indicates delay in
the timing of the coldest airmass. Grand ensemble temperature
spreads of the 25th vs 75th percentiles (upper quartile and lower
quartile) have narrowed with the most recent 12/8 00z model run and
generally have the coldest air not pushing into Oklahoma until
Saturday and nearly 5 degree spreads both Friday and Saturday (lower
to mid 50s and upper 30s to lower 40s, respectively). Cluster
analysis reveals nearly 80 percent of the models agree with this
delayed solution of the colder air, while 20 percent of the members
continues to dig cold air into the forecast area by Friday. The
extended forecast continues to remain dry with no precipitation
chances with these fronts.

Although MVFR/LIFR conditions are currently observed at KLAW,
KSPS, and KPNC, VFR conditions are expected within the next hour
or two as the stratus/fog dissipates. Generally light southerly
winds and VFR conditions are expected gradually increase on
Tuesday morning. While there is a minor signal of fog developing
early Tuesday morning, any fog that develops should be very
isolated in nature.
