Western Oklahoma has the highest chance of rain, but by Sunday evening, eastern Oklahoma including Tulsa and surrounding counties should get a decent amount of rainfall.
The temperatures remain mild for this time of year, but it doesn't last long. A heat wave is in the forecast for next week.
An early system could hit counties in northern Oklahoma between 8 a.m. and noon before moving northeast on Sunday.
Then, the larger storm system brings rain to Green Country around 6 p.m. as it progresses out of the state into the overnight hours.
