Welcome to the winter! This is the season when the winds within the jetstream are at their strongest, and storm systems quickly move across the central plains. Over the next 7 days we will experience 3 fast moving systems, and that means 3 different weather scenarios! Let's detail each one...

WAVE #1: Saturday's Falling Temperatures



This shortwave trough looks very similar to last weekend's system, unfortyunatly, this trough will put an end to the mild temperatures we've been experiencing. This wave's a fast mover, providing a chance for rain showers throughout Saturday. Expect a good bet for rain, with a chance for a little light snow or sleet Saturday evening across NE OK and NW AR. No major accumulations are expected; however, by evening, temperatures will fall into the 30s!

WAVE #2: Dreaming of a White Christmas



This second wave is forecast to move our way by Christmas Eve. It's another fast mover, but there may be enough cold air to create the chance for light snow for Christmas morning. Moisture will be somewhat limited, butThat could be pretty interesting, ho ho ho.

WAVE #3: Developing Snow System?




The third wave is forecast to come through on Wednesday. This system's more impressive, and that could mean the potential for a developing winter storm. It's way too far off, but we'll be keeping a close eye on the pattern.
