510 AM MST Thu Feb 22 2024 UPDATED AVIATION SECTION A few light mountain snow showers linger today, otherwise breezy westerly winds and warmer than normal temperatures continue through Friday.
High pressure building over the region into the weekend will result in a period of quiet weather and mild temperatures.
continues to ridge southwest over Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico. Near seasonal temps expected today topping out in the low to mid 70's under sunny skies. High pressure will hold over the waters for the next 24 hours with pleasant weather expected. The trailing edge of a weak cold front moves through the eastern gulf waters on Friday producing a chance of showers and a stray thunderstorm.
(Thursday through Friday) Low clouds will continue to be on the increase across the region this morning ahead of an approaching trough and cold front. Behind the front, northwesterly flow will bring in a noticeably cooler and less humid airmass into the region on Friday, with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
1045 AM MST Thu Feb 22 2024 UPDATED AVIATION SECTION A few light mountain snow showers linger today, otherwise breezy westerly winds and warmer than normal temperatures continue through Friday.
Mainly dry, northwest flow is present across the area and bringing about downsloping winds that will warm us up into the low to mid 50s, and producing mostly clear skies.
This streak of well above average temperatures will be ending soon as a weak cold front continues to shift east from the I-35 corridor toward the Ark-La-Tex this afternoon. Post-frontal morning low temperatures will range from the mid and upper 40s in northernmost zones to the lower and mid 50s elsewhere before rebounding nicely into the upper 60s to mid 70s on Friday afternoon.
1211 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 Latest observational analysis places a cold front draped to the north of our CWA, with lightning activity being noted across the Missouri Bootheel. -JPR A weak cold front will bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms to the area today.
151 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 Through tonight: In spite of considerable coverage of broken cumuliform clouds, sufficient insolation has occurred for temps to reach the low to middle 70s across much of the area. However, a tighter pressure gradient will maintain some wind gusts as a weak cold front moves into the area.
1158 AM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 (Today through Friday) High pressure to our south centered over southern Mexico will remain quasi-stationary with a quasi-zonal mid-level flow over South Texas through the next several days. A cold front is expected to move southeastward through our CWA this afternoon and moving offshore late tonight. Temperatures: Today will be a few degrees warmer with highs topping out in the low to upper 80s this afternoon then tomorrow will be around 5-10 degrees cooler behind the front.
Colder temperatures are expected tonight with overnight lows ranging from the low 30s to mid 40s. The "cooler" but still above average temperatures will continue Friday with highs generally in the 60s.
(The rest of today ) The cold front has pushed through the Tulsa area in the last hour, and will continue to move southeast, clearing the CWA by early afternoon. Ahead of the cold front, very warm temperatures and southwest winds are present. After the cold front passes, winds will switch to northwest and become gusty for a few hours.
1107 AM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 One more unseasonably warm day is setting us up for another run at upper 70s and lower 80s this afternoon before a cold front shifts into the region late today through tonight with cooler and drier air behind it. As the cold front draws closer and BL mixing increases with rising temperatures, expect these clouds to lift and scatter out a bit more through the afternoon hours. /19/ (Thursday through Friday) Low clouds will continue to be on the increase across the region this morning ahead of an approaching trough and cold front. Behind the front, northwesterly flow will bring in a noticeably cooler and less humid airmass into the region on Friday, with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
These calm winds in addition to the cooler air mass in place will allow overnight lows to be several degrees cooler than previous in the 30s to low 40s. However, dewpoint temperatures in the 30s will limit overnight temperatures from plummeting below the freezing mark. As for Friday, expect similar temperatures to todays with "cooler" but still above seasonal normal temperatures in the mid to upper 60s.
1123 AM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 (Today through Friday night) Model agreement is still on track for a weak cold frontal passage to move through during the early morning hours of today, While this front will be severely lacking in moisture, there should be just enough present to help RH values recovery and keep fire weather concerns at bay for the rest of the work week. Meanwhile, overnight low temperatures will cool with many locations near freezing by the time the sun rises Friday morning.
1239 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 One more unseasonably warm day is setting us up for another run at upper 70s and lower 80s this afternoon before a cold front shifts into the region late today through tonight with cooler and drier air behind it. As the cold front draws closer and BL mixing increases with rising temperatures, expect these clouds to lift and scatter out a bit more through the afternoon hours. /19/ (Thursday through Friday) Low clouds will continue to be on the increase across the region this morning ahead of an approaching trough and cold front. Behind the front, northwesterly flow will bring in a noticeably cooler and less humid airmass into the region on Friday, with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
Isolated to scattered showers will be possible tonight as a cold front moves through the area. With the potential for continued solar insolation through the day and increased southerly flow, temperatures were bumped up a few degrees from the previous forecast with highs this afternoon now expected to reach the middle and upper 70s for inland areas and the lower 70s along the coast. Lows overnight should range from the mid to upper 50s along and north of the Highway 84 corridor, but mainly in the lower 60s at all points to the south. The cold front and any lingering rain showers should clear most of our area by daybreak Friday, and exiting well to the east of our area by midday Friday. Temperatures will be slightly cooler Friday afternoon with highs topping out in the upper 60s and lower 70s.
1008 AM MST Thu Feb 22 2024 - Except for light intermittent snow showers over the western WY mountains, quiet, mild weather is expected through the weekend thanks to a building ridge.

1143 AM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 Latest observational analysis places a cold front draped to the north of our CWA, with lightning activity being noted across the Missouri Bootheel. -JPR A weak cold front will bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms to the area today.
1129 AM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 - Cold front moves through today accompanied by showers and a few thunderstorms.
Overnight lows will be quite a bit cooler than the previous couple of nights, but still above average for this time of year in the upper 30s to mid 40s.
With the arrival of the cold front will come the arrival of thunderstorms, starting across our northwest. As noted from the 12Z OHX sounding this morning, the freezing level was quite high - over 10,000 ft.
This will produce sunny skies, a SSE-SSW wind flow and warming trend today ahead of the next cold front expected to move through on Friday. An area of low pressure moves through the mid-Atlantic states early Friday morning and extends a cold front southward through Florida producing a chance of showers and a stray thunderstorm on Friday.
1145 AM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 - Breezy and "cooler" today.
(This afternoon through Friday night) The pacific cold front has passed through the area and northwest winds have brought in cooler temperatures. Winds become more northerly tonight, diminish, and with clear skies, temperatures will drop down to the lowest values of the week with lower 40s expected.

1110 AM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 (Today and tonight) A cold front will be pushing through our area this morning producing gusty north winds at 25-30 mph through the afternoon hours. We'll see about a 10-15 degree cooldown from the milder cooler air with this "Pacific" system with afternoon highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s southward under sunny skies. Temperatures will still remain nearly 15 degrees warmer than average climatically for late February. Slightly cooler temperatures for tonight with northern Oklahoma falling into the 30s to near freezing across northwest Oklahoma with lows near 40 degrees across our remaining areas. Wind speeds at 5-10 mph will make it feel slightly cooler everywhere.
Drier and warmer weather is expected across northern Arizona through the weekend as high pressure develops.
A cold front is set to sweep through the area accompanied by a relatively weak upper level trough late tonight and into tomorrow morning. Td over the past few days has been on the low end of climatology and as a result there won't be much moisture to work with. QPF totals are suggesting less than an inch to the CWA with the highest amounts being confined to the north GA mountains.
1007 AM EST Thu Feb 22 2024 Warmer conditions are expected today as southerly winds increase ahead of a Friday cold front.
107 PM EST Thu Feb 22 2024 Low pressure and its cold front cross tonight.
Despite the drier air aloft, should see some shallow showers develop overnight and into the morning hours ahead of the approaching cold front. Aside from 10-30% PoPs, the front will usher in drier air behind it with little in the way of drastic changes to temperature expected with exception to lower Min Temps (closer to avg) with the lower dew points.
1235 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 - Slightly cooler yet well above average temperatures are expected today.
(This evening through Friday) Zonal flow aloft coupled with an approaching low-level trough is resulting in strong WAA and a Spring-like day across Central Alabama. Clouds have been increasing ahead of the trough, but some areas in the southeast are still experiencing full sun and have already risen into the lower 70s at midday. The positively tilted trough axis will move across the area tonight with an associated cold front passage.
1111 AM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 (The rest of today ) The cold front has pushed through the Tulsa area in the last hour, and will continue to move southeast, clearing the CWA by early afternoon.

With the high settling in close to SE TX by tomorrow night, lows will be a bit cooler: ranging from the mid 40s north.
Tomorrow, expect some clouds to move in and winds to increase as a cold front approaches the area.
Light and variable winds will increase quickly around daybreak as the pressure gradient tightens ahead of an approaching cold front. Temperatures tonight will be warmer than this morning, falling only to the upper 40s/low 50s. Cold front will reach the FL Panhandle by tomorrow morning with rain chances returning well ahead of the front. This due to a tightening pressure gradient ahead of an approaching cold front that will reach the FL Panhandle early tomorrow morning.
/NEW/ /Overnight through Saturday/ Quiet weather is expected to finish out the week and into the weekend as high pressure builds in behind a weak front. Sunny skies and dewpoints in the 30s will lead to a nice Friday as high temperatures top out in the lower 70s. The north winds will relax overnight Friday night under mostly clear skies leading to a cool night with lows in the low/mid 40s.
A strong cold front will follow late Friday with some lake-effect snow showers lasting into early Saturday morning.
(Tonight through Saturday night) Gradient between high pressure over Florida and low pressure over Arkansas is creating breezy southerly flow over the forecast area this afternoon with unseasonably warm and humid conditions. Atmosphere is still expected to remain capped with best moisture in the low levels.

1116 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 A cold front along with sub-severe showers and thunderstorms has moved through Jackson, TN and Memphis and is currently located just south of the Interstate 40 Corridor. Dry conditions return to the Midsouth tomorrow as high pressure builds in from the west. High temperatures should be in the low to middle 60s tomorrow with 50s on Saturday.
The responsible cold front was moving through the Nashville Metro area at 2 AM CST this Friday. Otherwise, highs will reach the lower 60s with a steady northwest breeze 10 to 15 mph. This evening will be clear, then clouds will increase late tonight into early Saturday morning as another cold front approaches. Highs will be cooler than normal, in the 40s to lower 50s.
(Today through Saturday night) Dry and cooler air remains across the souther plains for today which will lead to partially sunny to sunny skies across the panhandles. Temperatures will remain on the cooler side with widespread 60s expected for most of the panhandles with only the colder spots remaining in the upper 50s. Going into Saturday a broad ridge begins to build into the souther plains which will continue the dry weather for the panhandles. Under this ridge winds are expected to shift to the SW and pick up a little speed helping to drive warmer air back across the panhandles. This coupled with broad subsidence heating under the ridge will make Saturday noticeably warmer with highs in the 70s for much of the panhandles with only those stubborn colder spots clinging onto the 60s.
The exception will be across portions of north Louisiana where overnight low temperatures will be slightly warmer due to a later frontal passage. This streak of well above average temperatures will be ending soon as a weak cold front continues to shift east from the I-35 corridor toward the Ark-La-Tex this afternoon. Post-frontal morning low temperatures will range from the mid and upper 40s in northernmost zones to the lower and mid 50s elsewhere before rebounding nicely into the upper 60s to mid 70s on Friday afternoon.
1002 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 (This evening through Friday) Another warm and breezy afternoon across the area, but cooler than yesterday. Lows will be in the 40s and cooler Saturday with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
Currently - High pressure centered over the Bahamas and the Florida Straits is being shoved east southeastward by a trough moving into the eastern United States. With that said, cooler nearshore waters after a rather long cool stretch has held winds west of north for much of the island chain. Short Term Update - By morning the high cell will centered well northeast off the Bahamas and trail a ridge axis across the Bahamas and Cuba. However, winds over portions of the island chain will likely remain nebulous due to cooler waters and the potential for radiational cooling. This is likely to proceed on our warmer Atlantic side waters, but the cooler gulf and bay waters may hold out and remain light and variable.
312 AM EST Fri Feb 23 2024 A cold front with light rain will cross the region this morning followed by a low pressure system and showers on Saturday.
1133 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 (This evening through Saturday) Some convection starting to get underway across the northern part of the state, along and ahead of a cold front pushing into NW Arkansas. Somewhat cooler and drier air will filter in behind the front, but the cooling effect will not be excessive, with highs tomorrow generally topping out in the 60s. NW flow will develop aloft, and high pressure will continue to settle into the area through Saturday.
A cooler airmass thanks to the weak cold front from yesterday will remain across the region keeping highs in the low to upper 60s.
913 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 A cold front along with sub-severe showers and thunderstorms has moved through Jackson, TN and Memphis and is currently located just south of the Interstate 40 Corridor. Dry conditions return to the Midsouth tomorrow as high pressure builds in from the west. High temperatures should be in the low to middle 60s tomorrow with 50s on Saturday.
1115 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 (This evening through Friday Night) Pre-frontal boundary appears to be just north of the CWA at this time with the main cold front not that far behind this initial wind shift.

With the high settling in close to SE TX by tomorrow night, lows will be a bit cooler: ranging from the mid 40s north.
(Today through Saturday) Early morning surface observations show northerly winds behind a cold front are in place across all of south central Texas. Some drier air is noted behind the boundary, with dewpoints as low as the mid 20s along the Rio Grande to the lower 50s in the coastal plains. Overnight lows will range from the mid 40s to the lower 50s as high level clouds begin to thicken out west along the Rio Grande.
1046 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 (Tonight) A couple of convective bands across mid/western TN are moving SE along/just ahead of a cold front located from KY into the Mid South region. Slightly cooler air behind the front should allow for lows early Fri falling into the upper 40s/near 50F.
(The rest of tonight) Much quieter and cooler weather will prevail tonight behind this afternoon's cold front.
/Issued 1109 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024/ /Overnight through Saturday/ Quiet weather is expected to finish out the week and into the weekend as high pressure builds in behind a weak front.

- Slightly cooler Friday and Saturday, but still remaining above normal.
252 AM CST Fri Feb 23 2024 - Noticeably cooler today, with a few flurries/areas of freezing drizzle possible as a cold front moves through. Early morning surface analysis captures a cold front spanning from west to east across north central Minnesota. A northerly shift in the winds following the front will usher in significantly cooler air for this afternoon, with highs in the 30s areawide. It is possible that a few flurries/areas of freezing drizzle develop in association with the frontal passage. Forecast soundings support this potential with a brief window of saturation in the lowest 5kft of the column.
302 AM EST Fri Feb 23 2024 (Today through Saturday) Cold front currently across northern portions of the CWA will continue southward today. High pressure and dry conditions are expected tonight through Friday. Values should stay below Wind Advisory criteria, but a few gusts above 30mph are possible in the highest elevations.
- Dry with below normal temperatures for the first half of the weekend; highs only around the freezing mark Saturday.
Dry conditions and warmer temperatures will continue through the weekend.
1041 PM CST Thu Feb 22 2024 (This afternoon through Friday night) The pacific cold front has passed through the area and northwest winds have brought in cooler temperatures.
