Rainy and windy for Tuesday and Wednesday

Some of us are waking up to the sweet sound of rain this morning, and we have the chance to see some showers through the lunch hour. Tuesday afternoon will be dry with more sunshine and a prominent southerly wind gusting up to 35 MPH at times as we warm into the upper 70s. We’ll remain dry and windy tonight, but rain chances will increase closer to sunrise tomorrow morning as we cool into the lower 60s. A fast-moving cold front will approach us, bringing the chance for thunderstorms from 4-8 AM. Quick heavy downpours, strong winds and lightning are all possible, but severe weather does not look likely at this time. We’ll see more sunshine by Wednesday afternoon as we only warm into the middle 70s.

Thursday and Friday look to be beautiful as we’ll see abundant sunshine and temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Overnight low will be in the 40s during this time. Another quick warming trend will lead us into the lower 80s on Saturday, but we’re watching another cold front that will pass over us into Sunday morning. Ahead of that system, showers and storms are possible Saturday night. This system would cool us below average to begin next week.

Warm start to the week; Rain chances return later today!

Temperatures for Monday will still warm into the lower 80s, but clouds will increase ahead of our next rain chances. A small system will approach us from the southwest this afternoon, and a few showers are possible across NE Oklahoma later today. Rain chances will increase for the rest of the Four States this evening and overnight, and some of us could hear a few rumbles of thunder tonight. On & off showers will stick with us through midday tomorrow before we dry out through another warm Tuesday afternoon.

A cold front will pass over us early Wednesday morning, leading to a few more chances for some showers and storms. By the afternoon, we’ll be mostly sunny and a bit cooler. Temperatures will only warm into the 60s and 70s through the end of the week. Another warm up is likely into Saturday ahead of another possible rain system Saturday night. This would cool us back to near average by Sunday.

Below average for Friday and the weekend

While temperatures are still calm this morning, we’re not going to warm up much today. Friday afternoon temperatures are only going to warm into the middle to upper 60s with a lot of sunshine and a nice breeze out of the northeast. Friday Night Football will see temperatures in the 50s before we cool into the lower to middle 40s by tomorrow morning. We’ll see partly cloudy skies tonight and through the weekend, which will lead to some rain chances next week.

Temperatures will warm into the 70s Sunday and Monday before we see the low 80s again into the middle of next week. A few rain showers are possible on Tuesday before a better chance will be over us on Wednesday with the passage of another cold front. This should drop temperatures closer to average by the end of next week. We’ll keep you updated with those rain chances as it gets closer.

Still warm today; Big cool down into tomorrow and the weekend

Temperatures today will again warm into the 80s for your Thursday with a lot of sunshine and a wind out of the north/northwest expected. A cold front will pass over us before midnight, shifting our winds out of the northeast and cooling us to near 50° tomorrow morning. Friday will only warm into the 60s, and winds will gust up to 25 MPH. Saturday morning could even feel a slight wind chill in the upper 30s.

Clouds will increase into Sunday ahead of an unsettled weather pattern set to near the Four States into next week. This could lead to a few rain chances, most notably on Wednesday. We could also feel a few showers late Monday into early Tuesday, but probability is low right now. Hopefully we see rain, because our Exceptional Drought is only worsening. We’ll keep you updated.

Warm and cloudier for Wednesday; Much cooler by Friday

Temperatures for Wednesday will yet again warm into the middle 80s, but we will see more cloud cover through the day. Clouds will decrease overnight as we cool into the middle 50s. A strong cold front is set to move over the Four States Thursday afternoon, and temperatures will drop behind it. High temperatures for Friday and Saturday will likely be in the upper 60s and lower 70s as we drop into the 40s each night. We’ll warm back into the 70s by Sunday ahead of a few small rain chances next week. It is still early to determine what that system will do for us, so stay tuned.

Above average through Thursday; Highs in the 60s Friday

Temperatures today through Thursday will remain in the 80s. We’ll see extra cloud cover tomorrow, with the passing of a weak cold front, but no rain is expected for the Four States. A stronger cold front will pass over us late Thursday, dropping temperatures below average for Friday and Saturday. Areas to our north could even see the first frost of the season with Saturday morning low temperatures. We should warm back into the 70s by Sunday ahead of a potentially active weather pattern next week. This could lead us to a few rain chances into the second week of October, so stay tuned.

80s through the middle of the week; Big cool down by Friday

Temperatures remain above average this week, with highs in the lower to middle 80s expected through Thursday. Low temperatures during this time will only cool into the 50s. Clouds will increase ahead of a cold front on Wednesday, but unfortunately, no rain is expected to fall over the Four States at this time. A stronger cold front will pass over us late Thursday, and that one will bring in cooler air from the north. Temperatures will warm only into the 60s on Friday, with potential low temperatures in the 30s by Saturday morning! We’ll warm back into the 70s by Sunday.

Calm end to September; A little warmer into October

For the last day of September, temperatures will warm from the middle 40s this morning to the upper 70s this afternoon. We’ll see just a few clouds into tonight as we cool back into the 40s to begin October early tomorrow. Temperatures will slightly warm into the lower to middle 80s as we begin the new month, and low temperatures each night will be in the 50s. We’re monitoring a small rain chance on Wednesday along a weak cold front next week. Rain doesn’t look very likely at the moment, but temperatures will cool back to near average by the end of next week.

Fall weather continues; Hardly any rain chances ahead

Temperatures will warm into the 70s this afternoon with abundant sunshine and a nice breeze out of the east and southeast. We’ll cool into the 40s overnight, as each morning over the next few days will be jacket weather. High temperatures will warm into the lower 80s as we begin October this weekend. We’ll see more cloud cover into next week with the smallest chance for rain by the middle of next week. Otherwise, conditions to begin October look to be warmer and drier.

Sunny and calm weather persists for the Four States

As we remain in a calm weather pattern, each day in the 7-day forecast will result in deja vu. Morning temperatures will be in the upper 40s and lower 50s, and afternoon temperatures will be in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Expect a lot of sunshine to persist as no rain systems will impact the Four States.

This morning, Ian is a Category 4 hurricane, set to make landfall in western Florida later today (Wednesday). Winds are gusting up to 165 mph and 30″+ of rain is likely through the southeast U.S.
