Sunny And Breezy Across Eastern Oklahoma

Our weather will remain relatively calm and mild for the next few days after the passage of this morning’s upper trough.   A surface front moved across the state late last night into early this morning and will bring gusty northwest winds and cooler air today.   Afternoon highs will be in the upper 50's or lower 60's.   The winds will be strongest this morning before diminishing later this afternoon and tonight.  The fire danger will be increasing again today across the region.

The storms, for the most part, remained east and south of the immediate area yesterday afternoon and overnight.   As the front and dry line merged late last night, a few storms did manage to form across far southeastern OK and did produce a few t-storm warnings before quickly exiting the state.  Most of northeastern and southeastern was under a tornado watch for the overnight hours.   The severe weather threats really cranked up just east into Arkansas and continue this morning across the Midwest.   Our severe weather threats are over for this event.

Weather Alerts

The upper pattern will remain from the northwest to west for the next few days before transitioning again to a southwest flow by Monday or Tuesday of next week when another stout looking upper trough will near the state along with some thunderstorm chances.   Until this happens, we’re basically looking at pleasant weather for the next 5 to 7 days.   The EURO has now suggested some warm air advection sprinkles a possibility Saturday night into Sunday morning, but we’ll just add a brief mention for the southern sections of the area.   It appears our next best chance for storms will arrive sometime Monday, probably Monday night into Tuesday morning.
