Our recent stretch of winter temperatures is becoming a distant memory, with a big-time warm-up arriving for the first weekend of 2019!


Who doesn’t love some sunshine on the weekend, right? Well, we’re in for plenty of sunshine for our Saturday. Temperatures will soar quickly into the afternoon with a light south breeze and highs in the lower 60s! It’ll be a terrific day to get outside.

Saturday Highs

 South winds and cloud cover will both increase tonight and continuing into Sunday ahead of our next storm system. Despite the increase in clouds, Sunday will be another unseasonably warm day with highs in the 60s! South winds will be the strongest Sunday night, increasing to 25 miles per hour ahead of a quick-moving cold front.


This next front is not nearly as strong as the previous few, and won’t bring very much of a cool-down. But it will provide a focal point for a few brief showers across northeastern Oklahoma early Monday morning. Those rain chances will quickly end during the day Monday, with temperatures still well above normal in the 60s.

Temperatures will begin to trend back down to more seasonable values later this week, with stronger high pressure eventually moving in and highs dropping back towards the upper 40s by Wednesday and Thursday. Another quick-moving system may bring us an additional chance of showers by next Friday, but at this time it doesn’t appear to be a big rain-maker for us. Otherwise, the January thaw will stick with us for a while, with no frigid Arctic air to speak of anytime soon for Green Country!
