AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
347 PM CST TUE DEC 1 2009

.DISCUSSION...
TWO FEATURES ARE WORTHY OF ATTENTION IN THE SHORT TERM.
FIRST... THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER ALOFT NOW MOVING OUT OF
SOUTHWEST TX HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR GENERATING WIDESPREAD LIGHT
RAIN ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST OK AND WESTERN NORTH TX THIS AFTERNOON.
A FEW REPORTS OF ISOLATED LIGHT SLEET HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AS WELL.
AS THIS CLOSED LOW MOVES NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT...THE HIGHEST PRECIP
CHANCES WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST A CHANCE FOR SOME LIGHT SLEET MIXED
WITH RAIN TONIGHT. RAPID MID LEVEL COOLING...BUT WITH A MARKED
LAYER OF ABOVE FREEZING AIR AT THE SURFACE...INDICATE A CHANCE FOR
A FEW SNOWFLAKES IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS MAINLY ACROSS ROUGHLY
THE SOUTHWESTERN THIRD OF THE CWA.

SECOND...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NORTHWEST OK VERY
EARLY TOMORROW MORNING...LIKELY CLEARING THE SOUTHEASTERN CORNER
OF THE CWA BY AROUND NOON. PRECIP CHANCES WILL QUICKLY DECREASE
BEHIND THE FRONT.

SREF GUIDANCE POINTS TO ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SNOW IN SOUTHERN AND
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA FROM THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS A
SHORT WAVE TROUGH APPROACHES. ANY SNOW FROM THIS WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW
EVENT SHOULD BE LIGHT...BUT THIS BEARS WATCHING.

NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST BEYOND FRIDAY.
