.DISCUSSION...
INITIAL WIND SHIFT HAS MOVED THROUGH NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA THIS
AFTERNOON SHIFTING THE WINDS FROM GUSTY/SOUTHWEST TO A LIGHTER
NORTH COMPONENT. THE COLD FRONT WITH THE STRONGER TEMPERATURE
GRADIENT AND GUSTIER NORTH WINDS CURRENTLY REMAIN IN NEBRASKA.
THIS FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING AND MOVE THROUGH
MUCH OF THE AREA BY SUNRISE. THIS WILL BRING MUCH COOLER AIR WITH
AFTERNOON HIGHS TOMORROW 20 TO 25 DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY. THESE
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY WITH WARMER
TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY BEFORE THE NEXT FRONT ARRIVES. OPERATIONAL GFS
SUGGESTS THAT SUNDAY/S COLD FRONT MAY BE LATER IN THE DAY ON
SUNDAY... BUT THERE REMAINS SPREAD IN THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AND
ECMWF STILL SHOWS TIMING OF FRONT SIMILAR TO CURRENT PACKAGE.
THEREFORE HAVE NOT MADE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED
PORTION OF THE FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON.
