A Pleasant Weather Pattern Returns to Oklahoma
A freeze warning is in effect for the early morning hours across most of the region. Clear skies, light winds, and dry air are allowing temperatures to drop into the upper 20s and lower 30s.
Sunshine is expected throughout the day as high pressure strengthens over the area and dry air moves in from the north.
Afternoon highs will reach the mid-60s, along with mostly light northwest winds around 10 mph. A weak backdoor front arrives this afternoon and evening from the Missouri Valley with no significant impact.
A Break from the Stormy Weather
A relatively calm weather pattern is expected for much of the week. No precipitation is expected for most of the area over the next seven days.
The upper-level flow currently from the northwest will bring another weak front across the area Wednesday night into early Thursday.
A few spotty showers may develop in southeastern Kansas, southwestern Missouri, and northwestern Arkansas, but even most of these areas will remain mostly dry.
By the weekend into early next week, the airflow will return from the southwest, eventually bringing shower and storm chances back to the region Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
