A cold front will move south across the area tonight and Tuesday,
bringing noticeably cooler temperatures Tuesday, especially across
northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas. Have lowered
temperatures slightly from the NBM in the Monday night-Tuesday night
time frame. Low shower and thunderstorm chances will also continue
