.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.

.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.
