...EXTENDED PERIOD OF COLD TEMPERATURES EXPECTED MID TO 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 THE
WEEKEND.

BY WEDNESDAY...DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY REACH THE 30S AND
40S ACROSS MUCH OF 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 TIME FRAME 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.
