(Today)

A warm front will lift north across the area today. Afternoon high

Oklahoma nearing 90 degrees this afternoon.

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Tuesday)
Issued at 400 AM CDT Wed Apr 17 2024

An isolated thunderstorm or two may develop near the
Kansas/Oklahoma border this evening, but the better chances will
remain to the north. If a storm does develop, it may become severe
with large hail being the main threat. Otherwise it will be a
breezy and mild night, with overnight lows mainly in the 65-70
degree range.

A strong cold front will sweep southeast across the area Thursday.
Warm and humid conditions will continue ahead of the front, with
gusty north winds and falling afternoon temperatures in its wake
across northeast Oklahoma Thursday afternoon. Scattered showers
and thunderstorms are expected to develop along the front, with
some of the storms possibly becoming severe. Overall, have
lowered the NBM pops in northeast Oklahoma Thursday afternoon
where they seem much too high given a relatively early frontal
passage.

Showers and storms will exit the area later Thursday evening, with
much cooler temperatures expected Friday through the weekend. An
upper wave is expected to result in showers and a few
thunderstorms from late Friday through early Sunday, with
southern parts of the forecast area being the most favored
locations for rainfall.

After a dry start to next week Monday, unsettled weather looks to
return towards the middle of the week. Model discrepancies are
large by that time, so stuck close to the NBM solution for now
beyond Monday.
