Day 9 of Tulsa, OK (KTUL)

Stiff southerly winds and clouds will prevent much radiational cooling tonight. A few showers or thunderstorms are likely along the dry line that will pass through late tonight, though the lack of daytime heating at night or deep moisture will prevent much stronger convective winds or very heavy rainfall, and rainfall amounts are expected to be rather light. Behind the dry line, skies will clear completely, and the whole column turns much drier. It will be quite breezy with strong southwesterly and somewhat downsloping winds tomorrow, with clear skies, dry air, and hot temperatures, perhaps hotter than model guidance. The sunshine and slight downsloping will help the strong winds from aloft to efficiently mix down to the surface. The winds will lighten a bit but will still be too strong for good radiational cooling tomorrow night, though with the drier air and clear skies, it will still cool down rather quickly, making for a low at the end (Wednesday 06z).
