Gusty northerly winds and lower temperatures will bring cooler conditions across the region on Saturday before improving Sunday afternoon.
What will the weather be like this weekend in Oklahoma?
A surface ridge of high pressure will bring more cold weather nearby during the first half of the weekend. A weak disturbance will land on the upper side of the ridge later Friday into early Saturday morning across northwest Oklahoma, where some snow flurries will be possible.
This activity should remain well away from our immediate areas of interest early Saturday morning. We expect Saturday morning lows to fall into the lower and mid 20s with afternoon highs in the lower 40s north and mid 40s south.
Another hard freeze is likely Sunday morning for most locations in the mid to upper 20s before southwesterly surface winds return with afternoon highs reaching the upper 50s to upper 60s.
A warm trend is expected through most of next week, with daytime highs reaching the 60s on Monday, and the 70s on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Are there any chances of rain expected in Oklahoma?
Despite the Friday morning front, the probability of measurable precipitation remains low. Any bathing activity that develops will result in minor amounts.
An area of strong mid-level vortex will move across northern OK on Monday and may produce scattered showers or a storm, but most data remains devoid of any precipitation output with this disturbance.
I'll probably hold at least 10% for Monday for this forecast cycle.
Another wave will move through the area Wednesday night into Thursday morning and will likely produce some thunderstorms across parts of North Oak and southern Kansas.
A simple cool-down regime will likely follow Thursday morning.
