Another surge of cooler weather arrives later Thursday night, setting the stage for a widespread freeze across northeastern Oklahoma for early Friday morning.
Freeze warnings are likely for most locations along and north of the I-40 corridor.
More sunshine is expected Friday with a light breeze and daytime highs in the mid to upper 50s.
Winds from the south will increase gradually through the weekend, signaling another robust warm-up with Saturday afternoon in the mid-60s and Sunday in the lower to mid-70s.
The upper airflow is currently from the northwest to southeast and will remain so for the next three days. By this weekend, the upper airflow will become mostly zonal, or west to east, as another trough develops across the Pacific.
This energy will eventually move across the Four Corners area and parts of the Central and Southern Plains states by the middle of next week.
Data has been highly inconsistent with this solution, so different scenarios are still possible from Tuesday through Thanksgiving.
The general pattern supports cooler or colder weather returning with a chance for some. A low-end probability for precipitation will be nearby Wednesday night through Thursday morning, nearing 20%.
While colder weather will be nearby, the possibility of wintry precipitation remains very low and mostly north of our immediate area.
As confidence grows in these solutions, additional forecast information regarding specific timing and locations will be forthcoming.
The second round of the Oklahoma High School Football playoffs continues on Friday. Kickoff temps will be in the upper 40s, dropping into the lower 40s by the end of the game with clear sky and light south breezes.
