News On 6 WARN Team Meteorologist Alan Crone said the moderate to heavy rainfall will gradually move into north Texas as a cold front slides across the area.

"Temperatures will remain well below the seasonal average with some locations staying in the upper 70s for most of the day before temperatures attempt a late day rally moving into the lower 80s," he said.

The official high in Tulsa Monday was 87 at 5:41 p.m. while the normal daily average high is 94.
