***FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR ALL OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA ON TUESDAY 10 AM UNTIL 8 PM***
A chilly start Tuesday morning with lows in the mid/upper 30s with highs in the mid/upper 60s to around 70°. Look for increasing winds out of the SSW 15-25 mph and gusts 30-40 mph across Green Country. Afternoon humidity drops to between 15% and 25%. This combo of the winds and humidity has us concerned about fire danger. The highest danger looks to be between 10 am and 8 pm.
Lows even warmer on Wednesday in the mid 40s with low 70s during the late afternoon. A steady flow of high level cirrus clouds overhead filtered with some sunshine. Good news, there will be less wind (South at 5-10 mph) keeping the fire risk lower..
A cold front drops in with a chance for widely scattered rain showers very late Wednesday night and overnight into early Thursday morning. Lows in the upper 40s Thursday morning with highs in the mid/upper 60s. Clearing skies through the day.
Friday morning will start out around 40° with highs back to the low 70s. Mostly sunny skies.
We are pretty confident Saturday will be our warmest of the next several days with highs in the mid/upper 70s. We'll have mostly sunny skies most of the day. A frontal system will approach Saturday night with a few showers, and perhaps thunderstorms possible. That chance may linger into Sunday as cooler air moves in.
Sunday's temperature forecast looks tricky at the moment with a front possibly draped across the region. There is a chance we'll see a 20-30 degree temperature gradient from highs in the 40s and 50s north to 60s and 70s south. Plenty of time to monitor and adjust as needed.
