LOOKING AHEAD

We are still watching Monday night into Tuesday for storms firing on the dryline.

These storms will have more upper-level support and more Gulf moisture to fuel them.

There is a low chance for severe weather in this timeframe, with wind and hail being the main threats.

1. Friday: Highs back in the 60s and 70s, dry conditions.
2. Saturday: Warm with highs in the 70s.
3. Sunday: Rain and thunderstorms possible, highs in the 60s.
4. Monday-Tuesday: Storm system could bring severe weather, followed by a cooldown.

As always, Oklahomans should stay updated on the latest forecasts for any changes in the storm outlook..

Our next cold front moves in on Wednesday next week.

It will be weak and will bring a slight chance for a few showers and storms. The highest chance will be in southeast Oklahoma.
