Another Chilly Day Across Eastern Oklahoma

The upper air flow will be from the northwest both today and tomorrow with a small disturbance sliding across southeastern Kansas.   This may provide a few sprinkles or even some snow flurries both today and tomorrow across far northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas.   The odds of any impactful weather remain extremely low and the height of the cloud deck may not allow anything to reach the surface anyway.   Our pattern will keep the chilly weather across the eastern half of the state before we experience a return of warmer air by the end of the week into the weekend.   It’s not impossible that we’ll see highs Sunday in the lower 80's.   But today our weather will remain chilly with morning lows in the 20's and highs in the upper 40's near 50.

Our northwest flow aloft continues this morning, but most data support a mid-level ridge of high pressure developing across southern Texas and into the Mexican plateau over the next 36 to 48 hours.   This will eventually help to bring warmer air into the southern plains.   The surface air flow will remain from the northeast today, but the wind speeds will remain much lighter compared to yesterday’s strong winds.   Northeast winds from 5 to 15 mph will be likely today along with a few clouds this morning and some sunshine by midday to afternoon.

Wednesday into Thursday, southerly surface flow will develop and a noticeable warming trend will begin as low level moisture begins to move back across the state in the form of higher dew point temps in the 50's reaching our immediate area Thursday morning to midday.   As this process occurs, we may see a few showers or a pocket of drizzle across southeastern or east-central Oklahoma.  This chance will remain very low.

Thursday night into Friday a surface front will be nearing the northern third of the state along with a chance for a few storms Friday morning through midday.   Dew points in the 50's near 60 will be possible and a few strong storms may also be possible during this period, but the lack of strong upper level system will keep the threat of severe weather low.   This boundary should clear the area Friday afternoon or evening allowing for pleasant weather Saturday before strong south winds return Saturday night into Sunday.   Temps will begin warming during this period with highs in the upper 70's or lower 80's Sunday into early next week.  The morning data has trended slightly lower than our advertised highs, but we’re stick’n with the 80's at this point from Sunday into early next week.
