Alan Crone Weather Blog: Sunshine Returns

The pattern is changing and sunshine will return with improving weather conditions for the next few days.   A few upper level systems will brush the state over the next 7 days but the lack of significant low level moisture will keep the rain chances low.    We’ll expect mostly sunny conditions today with highs in the lower 50s.   We will need to watch for some fog formation during the pre-dawn hours across part of the area.   Even if this occurs, the impacts would be short-lived.

Our issue this morning is the low chance for patchy fog with temperatures near or below freezing.   Fog with temperatures below freezing can cause slick spots on elevated surfaces including bridges and overpasses.   The temperatures may drop into the upper 20s northwest of the metro for the next few hours.   If fog forms in your area this morning, use some caution.   Otherwise our weather is improving today.  

Highs in the upper 40s and lower 50s are likely along with mostly sunny and pleasant weather.   A few clouds will move across the area later today, but sunshine will make a return.  A weak front will move across the area today and tonight with a surface ridge of high pressure building across the northern OK area Wednesday morning.   This will keep clear and cool conditions across the area Wednesday with morning lows in the upper 20s and highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s.   

Our weather will remain mild through the rest of the week with slowly increasing temperatures.   Lows in the 20s and 30s will be followed by Thursday highs in the lower to mid-50s and near 60 Friday and Saturday.   Our next storm system will near the state Sunday into early next week but low level moisture may be lacking.   Our rain chances will begin around Sunday with a slight mention across eastern OK into Monday morning.

Thanks for reading the abbreviated version of the Tuesday morning weather discussion and blog.

Have a super great day!
