NEAR TERM
(REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 131 PM CDT SAT APR 4 2026
SUNNY SKIES AND COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE IN PLACE BEHIND
YESTERDAY'S SYSTEM THAT PRODUCED SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY
RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA. SOME OF THE BIGGEST WINNERS
IN TERMS OF RAINFALL WERE IN A CORRIDOR FROM ROUGHLY LAWTON TO
HOLDENVILLE, WHERE 2 TO AS MUCH AS 6 INCHES OF RAIN FELL, WITH 1
TO 2 INCHES MEASURED IN MANY LOCATIONS NORTH AND SOUTH OF THERE.
UNFORTUNATELY, MUCH OF NORTHWEST OK MISSED OUT ON APPRECIABLE
RAINFALL ONCE AGAIN AS STORMS INITIATED TOO FAR EAST ALONG THE
COLD FRONT YESTERDAY.
FOR THE REST OF TODAY, BREEZY NORTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE GRADUALLY DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT AS THE
SURFACE RIDGE AXIS MOVES OVER THE REGION. HIGHS SHOULD REACH INTO
THE MID TO UPPER 60S BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. CLEAR SKIES AND
LIGHT WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO COOL QUICKLY TONIGHT,
WITH LOWS IN THE 30S ACROSS NORTHERN OK AND 40S ELSEWHERE.

SHORT TERM
(SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 131 PM CDT SAT APR 4 2026
PLEASANT CONDITIONS ARE IN STORE FOR SUNDAY AS THE RIDGE AXIS
CONTINUES SLOWLY EASTWARD OVER THE AREA. LIGHT WINDS AND PLENTY OF
SUNSHINE ARE EXPECTED, WITH HIGHS REACHING INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S
IN MOST LOCATIONS BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED MONDAY, WITH HIGHS BUMPING UP A FEW MORE DEGREES OVER
SUNDAY. WINDS WILL BE A BIT BREEZIER BY THE AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN
OK WHICH COULD LEAD TO ELEVATED FIRE CONDITIONS IN AREAS THAT HAVE
NOT SEEN MUCH RAINFALL THIS PAST WEEK.
