Chilly weather will stick around for the next three days before warmer weather begins expanding across the southern and central plains by late week. This warm-up will continue from Thursday through the weekend with highs eventually moving back into the lower -70s Saturday and near 80 Sunday. Highs today and tomorrow will stick around the upper 40s to lower 50s. One system is quickly exiting the area this morning after producing a few showers overnight.
Another small wave may produce some showers Tuesday into Wednesday across southeastern Kansas into southwestern Missouri but the odds will remain rather low. The upper level flow will remain from the northwest for the next few days before a mid-level ridge begins expanding across the southern plains helping to bring the warmer air.
As the pattern at the surface begin to change Wednesday into Thursday, we’ll possibly experience a few showers or maybe a pocket of drizzle or two along with gusty south winds returning by the end of the week. Storms chances may be highest around Friday with another surface boundary nudging into northern OK.
Temps this morning will start in the upper 30s along with decreasing clouds and highs in the upper 40s or lower 50s along with gusty northwest winds from 15 to near 30 mph. Despite the recent rainfall, the fire danger issues will remain slightly elevated today due to the influence of the gusty winds and low humidity during the afternoon. Red Flag warnings will not be required today.
Tuesday morning low will start near the mid to upper 20s. Daytime highs will again be in the upper 40s and lower 50s with mostly sunny to partly cloudy conditions and north winds at 10 to 15 mph. There may be a sprinkle across southeastern Kansas Tuesday morning.
Wednesday south winds will return with morning lows near 30 and highs in the lower 50s. South winds will return at 15 to 25 mph with partly cloudy to mostly cloudy sky and a slight chance for a shower or two across far northeastern OK. The air would be cold enough Wednesday morning for some snow showers across far NE Ok and southeastern Kansas.
