FXUS64 KTSA 121730 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1130 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1130 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025 - Breezy post frontal winds locally raise fire weather concerns this afternoon. - Strong cold front passes late Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. Single digit wind chill values Sunday morning north of I-40. - Precipitation chances remain very low over the next 7 days. && .SHORT TERM... (Through tonight ) Issued at 1130 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025 Quiet weather is likely tonight following todays cold front. With light northerly flow and a colder airmass, low temperatures tonight will range from the mid-upper 20s across the north to the mid-upper 30s in the south. High clouds will continue to stream over the region with no precip expected. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Friday) Issued at 1130 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025 Return flow briefly works back into the region Saturday, with low clouds expanding into parts of SE OK/ W-Central AR as moisture is pulled northward. However, by mid-late afternoon, another more potent cold front will be on our doorstep. In the pre-frontal environment, temperatures may warm into the mid-upper 50s across the south, but cloud coverage could complicate this temperature forecast. Otherwise, high temps generally decrease with northern extent, perhaps remaining below 50 degrees near the OK-KS border. Dry conditions persist. Strong north winds and much colder air will follow the front tomorrow, setting the stage for a very cold Sunday morning. With temperatures in the teens or 20s and continued breezy conditions, wind chill values will plummet into the single digits across NE OK and NW AR... perhaps near zero close to the KS/ MO borders. Will need to monitor this closely for potential Cold Weather Advisory issuance, but the current forecast keeps apparent temps just outside criteria. High temperatures on Sunday will not recover much... likely struggling to rise above freezing for parts of NE OK and NW AR. Another cold night is in store Sunday night, though the ridge axis will be moving east with increasing southerly flow and WAA developing overnight. By Monday afternoon, south-southwest flow strengthens, allowing temperatures to recover quite nicely, back into the upper 40s/ lower 50s. This southwesterly flow regime persists through much of next week, with well above average temperatures becoming likely Tuesday through the end of the week. The extended forecast remains dry. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1130 AM CST Fri Dec 12 2025 North to easterly winds remain common for the CWA into Saturday behind a dry cold front that moved through the region Friday morning. Late in the period, winds become more variable ahead of a stronger cold front forecast to reach the CWA just outside of this TAF period. Scattered to broken high clouds also are forecast through the period. There is potential for IFR/MVFR ceilings to lift north of the Red River, reaching KMLC/KFSM Saturday morning. For now will hold off on mentioning due to uncertainty of how far northward this cloud cover can reach ahead of the stronger front. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
