WEATHER TALK
By Mark Vogan
WEATHER HEADLINES TRANSITION FROM EXTREME COLD TO VERY WARM WEATHER SPEADING ACROSS A LARGE CHUNK OF USA MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK.. WARMEST CONDITIONS MAY CENTER OVER AREA THAT SAW COLDEST!
State record snowfall
OK News
Less Cold from Chicago south to Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Amarillo and Dallas but Colder For Little Rock, Memphis Nashville and even Houston! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BLOWTORCH THAT'S FAST APPROACHING!
Little Rock just misses out on first single-digit low in 15 years!
As the huge turnaround has commenced and actually started right after those frigid numbers were achieved yesterday morning, temps didn't get as cold across much of the Southern Plains this morning as temps rebounded nicely yesterday and with a less cold atmosphere, overnight readings didn't fall to near the levels seen 24 hours earlier but not only that, we're seeing warmer air flow across the Rockies and onto the Plains, a classic chinook wind is in progress, though because snow lies deep in many areasm it's a step by step process, not an instant one. However by the time we get to next Wednesday through Saturday, the waiting process of climbing out of the pit will be well worth it as 70s spread from Houston to perhaps as far north as Valentine, Nebraska with 80s across a large swath of central and western Texas.
Still despite readings across much of central, northern Texas and particularly Oklahoma and Kansas some 10 to as much as 20-degrees warmer it was still a cold start this morning with 3 at Amarillo (-6 yesterday), 13 at Oklahoma City (-5 yesterday) and some more modest subzeros over the 20+ inch snowpack across the north of the state and southern Kansas. Indeed this would be classified as a very cold morning in this region but it's got to be said that it's not too bad when compared the the previous 48-hours and certainly folks who survived yesterday morning will and can suvive this morning.
Today's 40s and 50s from central Texas northwards into Oklahoma, Kansas and even Nebraska will build warmer and warmer through the weekend and more so NEXT WEEK where 80s should build across a large chunk of Texas, 70s in Oklahoma and Kansas and 60s up through Nebraska and even South Dakota. WHAT A CHANGE!
WHAT'S THE REASON BEHIND THIS HUGE FLIP?
The large ridge built way up the west coast and shoving Pacific air all the way to Alaska has broken down and as a trough replaces this huge ridge and a powerful Pacific storm which actually transported the abnormally warm air northwards is replaced by a trough that's pushing towards the US West Coast, meaning that actual ridge responsible for Alaska-like cold in the Southern Plains will be over the Heartland mid-next week and allowing sub-tropical heat to push north and helped by Pacific air blowing very strongly in from the West Coast and as those winds downslope the Rockies, they compress and warm.
The jet will FINALLY pull way north over MUCH OF THE LOWER 48 meaning though winter isn';t done with the North of the country it could very well be for the Southern states... Welcome news I can only imagine!
