Updated at 914 PM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024 - Hot and dry conditions continue through next week && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday) Issued at 209 PM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024 Warm and dry weather continues. Tonight will see lows in the upper 50s / lower 60s. Clear skies and light winds will allow for strong radiational cooling, resulting in a lot of terrain driven spatial variability for low temperatures tonight. Southerly surface flow will put us right back into the low to mid 90s tomorrow afternoon, with a bit of breeziness in northwest Oklahoma. Day && .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through next Thursday) Issued at 209 PM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024 No significant changes to the long term forecast A slightly stronger cold front is forecast to move over the region on Sunday, which is expected to take the edge off of temperatures on Sunday across northern Oklahoma, and across all but far southern Oklahoma and northern Texas on Monday. These post frontal highs are expected to stay in the upper half of the 80s, so still above average. Drier air will also be reintroduced, allowing for lows to dip back down in the 50s most locations. Dry weather is still expected to continue through the coming weekend and next week, although a few models want to produce some showers across north central Oklahoma Monday night and early Tuesday as the aforementioned front lifts back north as a warm front.
