...EXTENDED PERIOD OF COLD TEMPERATURES EXPECTED MID-LATE WEEK...

THE CURRENT SEASONALLY WARM CONDITIONS WILL CHANGE DRAMATICALLY BY
LATE TUESDAY. THE PASSAGE OF AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL BRING MUCH
COLDER TEMPERATURES AND PERIODS OF LIGHT WINTRY PRECIPITATION TO THE
TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES. THIS COLD AIR WILL PERSIST THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND.

BY WEDNESDAY...DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY REACH THE 20S AND
30S ACROSS THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES...WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES
STAYING IN THE 20 DEGREE RANGE FOR MOST OF THE PANHANDLES THURSDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY. MANY LOCALES...ESPECIALLY IN THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE
AND NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE...WILL EXPERIENCE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES SPANNING TUESDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. LIGHT
WINTER PRECIPITATION WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE MOST LIKELY TIMEFRAME FOR
LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS APPEARS TO BE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
IN ADDITION...DANGEROUS WIND CHILL VALUES BETWEEN 5 DEGREES BELOW
ZERO AND MINUS 15 DEGREES ARE POSSIBLE AT NIGHT AND DURING THE
MORNING HOURS THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

THOSE PLANNING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THIS WEEK SHOULD PLAN TO COMPLETE
SUCH CHORES BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON IF AT ALL POSSIBLE...BEFORE THE
PASSING ARCTIC FRONT BRINGS THE ONSET OF MUCH COLDER WEATHER.
