***RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE ENTIRE AREA TODAY UNTIL 7 AM SATURDAY***

The wind speeds will come down across the viewing area overnight as low pressure pulls away from Oklahoma, but any ongoing grass fires may take a while to tame. Please adhere to any evacuation orders. A northwest breeze will move in by daybreak, and so be ready for any remaining fires to change the direction of which they are spreading. Instead of getting pushed northeast, they'll eventually get pushed east then southeast.

A cool front comes in overnight, which knocks the highs down to the low to the mid 60s over this weekend. Lows in the 40s Saturday and then just above freezing by Sunday morning. A lot of clouds on Saturday and then back to mostly sunny skies Sunday.

Low 80s on Monday and Tuesday for those afternoon temperatures. Lows in the mid 40s Monday and then upper 50s Tuesday. Breezy to windy conditions again with increased fire danger.

Another cool front moves in Wednesday, in the middle of the week. Lots of clouds on Wednesday with only a slight chance for some rain showers. The sun will return as we finish the week.
