KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1133 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025 - After the next few days, by the second half of the weekend, cold temperatures will return to the region.

- Precipitation chances remain low over the next 7 days.

SHORT TERM

(Through Tomorrow night) Issued at 1133 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025

Low impact weather conditions expedited throughout the short term forecast period. Broad H500 NW flow will keep high pressure established across the region with ample sunshine. Northwest surface winds the remainder of today in the wake of the passing cold front earlier this morning will shift to southwesterly for tomorrow. This will allow temperatures to rebound into the lower 60s for high tomorrow across much of Oklahoma, with mid to upper 50s for highs in NW Arkansas.

LONG TERM

(Thursday through Wednesday) Issued at 1133 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025

Low impact weather conditions are expected to continue throughout the majority of the long term forecast period. Going into Sunday, a notable cold front will move southeast across the region, resulting in temperatures to drop well below average for mid December. Areas across far NE Oklahoma and far NW Arkansas may see areas struggle to get out of the 30s for high temperatures, even as far south as Tulsa itself. Exactly how strong the main low to mid level CAA entering the region will factor in how widespread the well below average temperatures will be, and will update accordingly with future updates to the forecast.

Upper level flow will slowly shift from northwesterly to more westerly across the region as we go into early next week. This shift in the upper level pattern will result in southerly surface flow aiding low level moisture return from the Gulf back into portions of SE Oklahoma and NW Arkansas. This flow will result in scattered showers chances (10-20% chance) for the far southern areas of the CWA as the main mid level trough moves east across the Red River valley to advect moisture northward for Monday night into Tuesday. Depending on how fast the main trough moves east, rain chances could then spread more into NW Arkansas towards the end of the forecast period. OVerall temperatures with the exception for Sunday will be near average throughout the forecast period.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1118 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025
