AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
406 PM CST FRI DEC 25 2009

.DISCUSSION...
MUCH QUIETER WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE THAN
THE CHRISTMAS EVE BLIZZARD YESTERDAY. A SHORTWAVE MOVING SOUTH
AROUND THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE PRIMARY UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO
BRUSH THE NORTHERN PART OF THE AREA TOMORROW AND ASSOCIATED MID-
LEVEL LIFT MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE A FEW FLURRIES IN THE
NORTH. MODEL QPF IS VERY LOW OR NIL BUT WILL INCLUDE MENTION OF
FLURRIES. SOME COOLER LOW-LEVEL AIR WILL ALSO FILTER INTO THE AREA
AS WELL AND WILL HAVE ANOTHER AFTERNOON OF GUSTY WINDS /ALTHOUGH
IT WILL NOT SEEM TOO GUSTY COMPARED TO YESTERDAY/ TEMPERATURES
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECOVER BETTER THAN EXPECTED TODAY CONSIDERING
THE SNOW COVER... SO ALTHOUGH STILL GOING GENERALLY BELOW GUIDANCE
FOR MAXES TOMORROW... WILL RAISE TEMPERATURES A LITTLE FROM
CURRENT FORECAST. FORECAST MINS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF NIGHTS WILL
BE BELOW GUIDENCE THANKS TO THE THE FRESH SNOW PACK.

THE NEXT STORM APPROACHES TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK AS AN OPEN WAVE.
HAVE INCREASED POPS IN RESPONSE TO THE CURRENT MODEL RUNS.
OTHERWISE... NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED.
