.SHORT TERM...
(Through Tomorrow night)
Issued at 1133 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025

Low impact weather conditions expedited throughout the short term
forecast period. Broad H500 NW flow will keep high pressure
established across the region with ample sunshine. Northwest
surface winds the remainder of today in the wake of the passing
cold front earlier this morning will shift to southwesterly for
tomorrow. This will allow temperatures to rebound into the lower
60s for high tomorrow across much of Oklahoma, with mid to upper
50s for highs in NW Arkansas.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Wednesday)
Issued at 1133 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025

Low impact weather conditions are expected to continue throughout
the majority of the long term forecast period. Going into Sunday,
a notable cold front will move southeast across the region,
resulting in temperatures to drop well below average for mid
December. Areas across far NE Oklahoma and far NW Arkansas may see
areas struggle to get out of the 30s for high temperatures, even
as far south as Tulsa itself. Exactly how strong the main low to
mid level CAA entering the region will factor in how widespread
the well below average temperatures will be, and will update
accordingly with future updates to the forecast.

Upper level flow will slowly shift from northwesterly to more
westerly across the region as we go into early next week.
This shift in the upper level pattern will result in southerly
surface flow aiding low level moisture return from the Gulf back
into portions of SE Oklahoma and NW Arkansas. This flow will
result in scattered showers chances (10-20% chance) for the far
southern areas of the CWA as the main mid level trough moves east
across the Red River valley to advect moisture northward for
Monday night into Tuesday. Depending on how fast the main trough
moves east, rain chances could then spread more into NW Arkansas
towards the end of the forecast period. OVerall temperatures with
the exception for Sunday will be near average throughout the
forecast period.
