Issued at 230 AM CST Sun Nov 8 2026
A ~1024 mb surface high remains the primary influence on the
weather across Oklahoma and north Texas once again this morning.
With the weak surface pressure gradient, light and variable winds
are creating ideal conditions for radiational cooling. This is
leading to large temperature variations over short distances with
temperatures in the 30s and 40s deg F. Patchy frost is likely
across north central, central, and east central Oklahoma, where
the lowest temperatures are forecast (mid 30s deg F). A Frost
Advisory remains in effect for this area.
The light and variable winds, combined with a nearly saturated
boundary layer, may also lead to the development of fog this
morning. The most likely area to see fog is central, north
central, and east central Oklahoma (where relative humidity is the
highest/closest to saturation). Any fog should dissipate by
around mid morning.
For this afternoon, the coverage of high clouds will be less than
yesterday and more confined across southern Oklahoma and north
Texas with overall more solar insolation/sunshine. This will
result in a warmer afternoon with high temperatures ranging from
the upper 60s to the low 70s deg F.

Issued at 230 AM CST Sun Nov 8 2026
With light winds, patchy fog is possible once again Sunday night
into Monday morning. Monday afternoon will be slightly warmer
weather as southerly winds increase across Oklahoma and north
Texas. The warmer weather will especially be noticeable Monday
night into Tuesday morning, with low temperatures in the upper 40s
and 50s deg F as southerly winds advect higher dew
points/moisture northward.
An upper-level low will eventually lift into the Southern Plains
late Monday into Tuesday. Moisture is limited, so the chance for
rain is ~10% or lower across western north Texas into southern
Oklahoma. Otherwise, the warming trend continues Tuesday afternoon
with highs in the 70s to near 80 deg F.

(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 230 AM CST Sun Nov 8 2026
The synoptic-scale pattern will change across the continental
United States as a longwave trough develops across the eastern
half of the country. This pattern will allow a cold front to
advance southward as the trough amplifies to the east. Currently,
the cold front is most likely to move through on Wednesday.
However, the cold air may lag behind the initial wind shift with
the coolest air arriving for Thursday and Friday. Rain chances
also look to be near zero/limited with the front with the more
appreciable synoptic-scale forcing remaining to the northeast.
How cold will the air mass be behind the front? The Southern
Plains will be to the southwest of the strongest cold air
advection, which means the chance of a significant cool-down (for
November) is very low. Bias-corrected probabilistic guidance
indicates a ~20 deg F spread between the 10th and 90th
percentiles, with the cooler end of ensemble guidance only
lowering high temperatures into the 50s deg F (which is slightly
below normal for mid-November). Currently, The most likely
scenario is highs in the low 60s (northeast) to the low 70s deg F
(southwest).

Patchy/areas of fog remain possible across northern and central
Oklahoma through ~14-15 UTC this morning. While likely limited in
time/space, IFR to LIFR vis may occur at KPNC and KSWO during
this time. Additional chances for fog/lowered vis are also
apparent towards the end of the period (early Monday morning).
Otherwise, a light-variable surface wind and mostly clear
skies/passing high clouds will be common during the valid period.
Safe travels!

Issued at 130 PM CST Sat Nov 7 2026
Surface high pressure sits across the area today. Despite that, a
trough moving eastward through northern Mexico has led to a
widespread area of rain and cloud cover in southern and central
Texas. Those clouds continue to stream over our area and will
preclude us from getting too warm this afternoon. Highs will remain
in the 60s in southern Oklahoma and western north Texas, and a
little cooler in areas that received widespread fog this morning.
Most or all of the rain will remain south of our area and fizzle out
as it approaches western north Texas. Still, there is about a 20-40%
chance of light rain getting into Knox, Baylor, and Archer Counties
before dissipating this evening.
Model guidance is insistent that the high cloud cover will recede to
far southern Oklahoma and western north Texas. Clearing skies and
calming winds will let temperatures plummet across north central and
west central Oklahoma to perhaps the coldest levels of the fall so
far. A Frost Advisory is in effect for a belt from Hughes to Kay
Counties and westward to Kingfisher/Garfield Grant Counties. That
frost will coincide with another night that looks quite conducive to
fog development across north central and central Oklahoma. Further
to the south and west, cool temperatures and fog are also possible,

The trough across the Rio Grande Valley will slowly move eastward
tomorrow, though it will be weakening with time. Any rain chances

but the trough will be just enough to turn surface winds southerly
across the Plains. Because of that, temperatures will warm back into
the 60s on Sunday and even back up into the 70s on Sunday.
Nighttimes continue to look rather clear and calm, so fog is
expected to redevelop on at least Sunday night and potentially
Monday night as well. Dense fog is possible, though exact
locations where visibility reductions are likeliest remain
uncertain. Low temperatures will be a little warmer the next few
nights, so no more frost is in the forecast.

Warm, above-normal temperatures will continue on Tuesday and

indicates little spread during these two days, which indicates
high confidence that the relatively warm weather will continue.
By Thursday into Friday, ensemble spread increases markedly as a
cold front will likely move across the Southern Plains as a
longwave trough develops across the eastern half of the United
States. This pattern will allow a cold front to drive southward as
the trough amplifies to the east.
With the Southern Plains southwest of the strongest cold air
advection, there is uncertainty regarding how much cold air will
advance into Oklahoma and north Texas. It will be highly dependent
on the track of the attendant surface high behind the cold front.
Bias-corrected probabilistic guidance indicates a ~20 to 30 deg F

A ~1026 mb surface high centered across Missouri is the primary
influence on the weather across Oklahoma and north Texas this
morning. Light and variable winds, combined with a saturated
boundary layer, are resulting in areas of fog this morning, with
locally dense fog primarily across west-central into northwest
Oklahoma.
In addition to the fog, the light and variable winds are
resulting in a cold morning with temperatures in the 30s and 40s
deg F. With the light winds, local terrain effects are resulting
in a large change of temperatures in short distances. Patchy frost
is likely across northern Oklahoma, where temperatures have
fallen into the mid 30s deg F. These observations are taken at 1.5
meters (5 feet). As a result, ground-level temperatures are
likely low enough to result in localized frost.
The fog should dissipate by mid-morning. However, abundant and
dense high cirrus clouds (~20,000 to 25,000 ft) will persist
throughout the day. Therefore, it'll be another cool afternoon
(especially compared to recent weeks) with high temperatures
ranging from the mid 50s to the mid 60s deg F.

Areas of fog are expected to develop once again tonight with the
highest chance across north central into central Oklahoma. Low
temperatures here are generally expected to fall below the minimum
dew point this afternoon (also known as the crossover
temperature). When the low temperature falls below the crossover
temperature with light and variable winds, it indicates the
potential for radiation fog from saturation and then condensation
near the boundary layer.
The coverage of high clouds should shift southward on Sunday with
a bit more solar insolation/sunshine expected. As a result, a
warmer afternoon is expected with high temperatures ranging from
the mid 60s to the low 70s deg F.
Monday will be similar to Sunday with slightly warmer weather as
southerly winds increase across Oklahoma and north Texas. The
warmer weather will especially be noticeable Monday night into
Tuesday morning, with much higher low temperatures expected in the
upper 40s and 50s deg F.
An upper-level low once across the southwest U.S. will eventually
lift into the Southern Plains late Monday into Tuesday. Moisture
is somewhat limited, so the chance for rain is very low at this
time.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Friday)
Issued at 200 AM CST Sat Nov 7 2026
Warm, above-normal temperatures will continue on Tuesday and
Wednesday with highs generally in the 70s and lows generally in
the upper 40s and 50s deg F. Bias-corrected probabilistic guidance
indicates little spread during these two days, which indicates
high confidence that the relatively warm weather will continue.
By Thursday into Friday, ensemble spread increases markedly as a
cold front will likely move across the Southern Plains as a
longwave trough develops across the eastern half of the United
States. This pattern will allow a cold front to drive southward as
the trough amplifies to the east.
With the Southern Plains southwest of the strongest cold air
advection, there is uncertainty regarding how much cold air will
advance into Oklahoma and north Texas. It will be highly dependent
on the track of the attendant surface high behind the cold front.
Bias-corrected probabilistic guidance indicates a ~20 to 30 deg F
spread between the 10th and 90th percentiles with a 20 to 40%
chance of high temperatures below 60 deg F by next Friday.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1059 AM CST Sat Nov 7 2026
This mornings fog is burning off rapidly across parts of west-
central through southwest Oklahoma with KCSM as the only impacted
terminal. Will keep a TEMPO group in KCSM for another hour as
expecting it to return to a VFR category by 19Z. All of our
remaining terminals should remain in a VFR category at least
through 08Z. Expecting a return of fog after 08Z mainly across
northcentral OK and could see it go dense after 12Z impacting
terminals KSWO & KPNC reducing them to an IFR to LIFR category.
Will have TEMPOS for a potential for patchy fog in 4 other
terminals by 12Z which could reduce those terminals to an MVFR
category in BR. High surface pressure will continue building in
keeping surface winds light & variable through the forecast
period.
