Updated at 1226 PM CST Thu Nov 6 2025 - A significant cold front brings below-average temperatures to the area on Sunday and Monday, with a hard freeze Monday morning. - Dry conditions persist for at least the next seven days. && .NEAR TERM... (Rest of today and tonight) Issued at 1226 PM CST Thu Nov 6 2025 Southerly winds have returned which will bring warmer temperatures back through northern Oklahoma--highs in the mid 70s (north OK) to the low 80s (south OK / north TX). This afternoon will see a light breeze of 10 to 15 mph. Another weak front will enter northwest Oklahoma this evening, moving through most of the region overnight. By dawn, lows will range from the mid 40s (NW OK) to the upper 50s (SE OK). Day && .SHORT TERM... (Friday through Saturday night) Issued at 1226 PM CST Thu Nov 6 2025 Another warm and dry day with clearing skies is expected on Friday. The next front (stronger this time) is expected on Saturday. This will bring gusty north winds and much colder temperatures. Saturday will be the transition day as highs are cut short to the 60s in northern Oklahoma while souther OK and north TX are able to rise into the upper 70s again before being overrun by colder air. Saturday night, lows will fall to at or just below freezing in northwest Oklahoma (other areas will see mid 30s to mid 40s). Day && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Wednesday) Issued at 201 AM CST Thu Nov 6 2025 Model guidance continues to trend downward with temperatures for Sunday and Monday morning. On Sunday morning, air temperatures are forecast to drop into the 30`s to low 40`s but it will feel much colder due to the strong north winds. Wind chill values in the 20`s are anticipated to reach into parts of southern Oklahoma early Sunday morning and may continue for the northern half of Oklahoma through at least mid-morning. Sunday high temperatures may not rise out of the 40`s, despite sunny skies. A hard freeze is looking more likely for most areas as Monday morning low temperatures drop into the 20`s. Will see a bit of a warmup on Monday, but our region will remain under northwest flow as amplifying trough departs and a ridge approaches. Then, the upper-level pattern weakens and becomes less amplified as the ridge remains centered to our west. This will lead to warm-up into the 70`s on Tuesday and Wednesday, with dry conditions persisting. Thompson && .AVIATION...
