Foggy Morning Across Northeast Oklahoma

Cooler air is here!   And it looks like it’s sticking around for the rest of the weekend and into all of next week.   Another system may be nearing the area Sunday night into early next week with a chance for showers and storms across part of eastern OK.   Unsettled weather may remain for several days next week.   After some morning fog, our weather looks mild today with highs in the lower to mid-70s along with some sunshine-cloud mix and northeast winds.   Friday night football looks cool, so grab a jacket.

Weather Alerts

Fog developed last night across part of the area and will persist for the morning hours before dissipating around 10am or so.    Temps are in the 50s this morning before the temps move into the upper 60s by early afternoon and into the lower 70s northern OK later today.   Some mid 70s will be possible across southeastern sections of the state.  Northeast winds will remain in the 10 to 15 mph range today. 

Later tonight the main cut-off low currently across the southwestern U.S. will begin lifting northeast and weakening with time.   But this system will develop into a short to medium length wave trough and move across the central plains states Monday into Tuesday.   As this occurs, our winds will return from the south this weekend and will bring a chance for scattered showers or storms back to the state Sunday across western OK and Sunday evening into eastern sections of the state.   This system will move eastward into eastern Ok Monday with another chance for showers and storms along with mostly cloudy and cool conditions.   If the rain is widespread, our highs will be near 60.  If the showers are spotty, the highs will be in the upper 60s.   At this point, we’re keeping our pops on the low end and we’ll make some adjustments this weekend.

Most data support the cool weather sticking around for all of next week with highs Wednesday through Friday into the upper 60s and lower 70s.   This is due to the possibility of an upper level system near the state for several days next week.   This could bring some showers and storms to the region Wednesday through Friday but the data is continuing to offer widely different positions with the upper level system.   At this point, we’ll keep the cool temps but dry conditions for Wednesday and Thursday until data allows a higher confidence level for the introductions of some precipitation. 

Friday Night Football games will start with temps near 63 and finish with temps near 55 by the end of the game along with north winds near 10 mph.   It’s back to jackets for the game tonight.

Thanks for reading the Friday morning weather discussion and blog.

Have a super great day!
