AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
Low clouds are expected to continue for much of the day with
MVFR conditions. The lower clouds should begin to scatter out
across eastern Oklahoma TAF sites by late afternoon but will
likely persist across northwest Arkansas through tonight. 

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 300 AM CST Wed Dec 16 2020/ 

DISCUSSION...
A few snow flurries will continue to possible through 
sunrise across northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas
as a mid-level shortwave pivots out of the area. Another 
chilly day is on tap for the area with abundant cloud cover
and remaining snow cover each playing a role.

Warmer temperatures are anticipated Thursday and especially 
on Friday as the low level winds become more southerly in 
advance of the next cold front that is set to move through 
the region Friday night. A few showers will be possible in 
association with the frontal passage across southeast Oklahoma 
and western Arkansas. 

After slightly cooler temperatures on Saturday in the wake of the
cold front, another warm up is expected Sunday and into early 
next week before a cold front sweeps through next Wednesday. 
Temperatures are forecast to be 10 to 15 degrees above normal 
during this time-frame.
