KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1211 AM CDT Thu Mar 12 2026

- Near-normal conditions will return through the rest of the week across the Four State Region.

- A brief warmup over the weekend will precede the next frontal boundary on Sunday with some thunderstorms likely.

- Some near to below freezing temperatures are likely on Monday night, especially in Oklahoma and Arkansas.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1211 AM CDT Thu Mar 12 2026

Post-frontal winds will continue to advect colder and drier conditions overnight with temperature minimums in the upper 30s/lower 40s. Aloft, a less active zonal flow pattern will keep a dormant environment until Sunday, as the troughing and attendant frontal boundary returns. Within this pattern change, a chance for thunderstorms (40-60%) remains through Sunday evening. This reprieve from widespread severe weather continues into next week as a reinforcing post-frontal shot of colder air arrives in earnest by then (Monday night temperatures likely near freezing north of I-30). Long-range guidance suggests that the rollercoaster ride will continue with another warming trend back above 80 degrees through the middle of next week. /16/

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1048 PM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026

Cold front has just now passed through our farthest most MLU terminal with a very strong pressure gradient in the immediate wake of this cold front across our remaining terminals. Sustained N to NW winds near 15-20kts with gusts upwards of 35kts will gradually diminish as we go through the overnight hours. Likewise, MVFR ceilings acrsos the eastern half of our airspace will quickly shift east of our airspace with VFR conditions returning overnight into the predawn hours as well. Thus near and after sunrise, look for VFR conditions across our entire airspace. N winds will quickly veer around to the NE and today before pivoting around to the SE and S late this evening. Look for sustained winds during the day near 10kts with an occasional higher gust with winds becoming light after sunset this evening.
