Blizzard Warnings, Winter Storm Warnings, and Winter Weather Advisories remain posted this morning across much of the northwestern part of the state. While snowfall will begin to diminish overnight, the worst of the winds of this event will create the worst of the blizzard conditions that we’ve seen thus far. Northwesterly winds of 20-30 MPH …

A major winter storm is expected to impact the area beginning later tonight and into early Wednesday morning. Models have come into somewhat better agreement over the last 24 hours on tracking the upper level cyclone out of the southwest and into the central Plains later today via a fast upper level jet at 250 mb. …

A significant blizzard is current on track to affect the state early next week, beginning late Monday night and continuing through early Wednesday morning. A disturbance over the Pacific is expected to develop into an upper-level low today and trek it’s way to the Oklahoma panhandle by tomorrow. By Tuesday night, a very strong 300 mb …

Confidence is continuing to increase by the day and the hour for a blizzard to impact the state early next week. A disturbance currently over the Pacific Ocean, over 3,000 miles away from the state, is expected to be the “match” for a potentially significant event to impact the area. This disturbance will likely develop into …

Confidence is increasing for a winter storm to impact the area next week. Models have been oddly very consistent on timing, path, and strength of this system, which is currently lurking in the central Pacific as of the time of this post. The two primary models that we are looking at, the European ECMWF and American …

Not a lot of weather concerns in the short term with the primary highlight being a considerable warmup through the weekend. High temperatures today will be in the low 30s northeast to low 40s southwest, with low temperatures sitting in the upper teens to mid 20s. But have no fear, the warm up is here! …

Cool, calm, and quiet weather would be the best way to discuss the short term outlook over the end of this week as we see few precipitation chances and generally normal temperatures, aside from a warming trend for the end of the week. Today: The weather today will feature mostly sunny-to-partly cloudy skies in the morning …

A bitterly cold day, to put it lightly, is on tap today as a large high pressure system and northwest flow aloft keep cold, arctic air hanging around the area. The best way to describe this is by looking at the highs today which will be below zero across the north with single digits in …

“The forecast beyond 24 hours looks to be absolutely fantastic. A large arctic area of high pressure will shift into the area from the northwest, causing wind chills to do even more of a nosedive than the temperatures we will see this morning in the north. Wind chill temperatures on Sunday morning are expected to range from the teens below zero south to the low 40s…below zero…north. Doesn’t that just sound wonderful.”

The title and featured image sums the weather situation across the region nicely over the next week as a Roller Coaster of Temperature Swings. Mother nature will be granting us as a break from the recent bitterly cold today with high temperatures in the teens to 20s (better than the single digit highs we’ve been seeing as of late!) before saying “eh, never mind” by Tuesday as we head back into the upper single digits to high teens. Wind chills on Tuesday morning will likely be sitting in Wind Chill Advisory range (-20°) and headlines for this will probably come out today or tomorrow. But, have no fear, we’re heading back up with highs in the upper teens to mid 30s by Wednesday and upper 20s to upper 30s Thursday. And then…. guess what? Down the roller coaster we go. Things will slide cooler and cooler with low 20s to mid 30s Friday, teens and 20s Saturday, and upper single digits to mid 20s Sunday.
