Incoming Cold Front Expected To Stick Around Oklahoma

A cold front sweeping across the state is expected to take Oklahoma from above average temperatures to below average.

The incoming cold air means that, by morning, most of us will be at or just above freezing, but gusty north winds expect to make it feel like it's in the low 20s.

News On 6 Meteorologist, Dick Faurot, said that even with the cold weather, the sun is still expected to shine.

“Although we will start the day with overcast skies, the drier air brought in by those gusty northerly winds will also bring much drier air in at the surface and aloft so we should at least see plenty of sunshine.”

Faurot said that while the high of 79 Monday to the expected high of, maybe, 40 will be a shock, it's not a record.

“On November 11, 1911 we went from an afternoon high of 85, which is still a record, to a low the next morning of 15, which is also still a record.”

Faurot said that with the cold air there is a possibility of a wintry mix, but said even if some precipitation does develop it would most likely be on the light side.
