Northeastern Oklahoma Weather Forecast: Warming Weekend Ahead with Cooler Temps Next Week
Northeastern Oklahoma is set for a chilly Friday, characterized by clear skies, light winds, and dry air that will bring widespread freezing conditions early in the morning. The afternoon will be pleasant, with temperatures reaching the mid-50s, setting the stage for an ideal night of Friday Night Football, where temperatures will drop from the upper 40s to the lower 40s under clear skies.
As the weekend approaches, a warming trend is expected. Saturday will bring highs in the mid-60s, while Sunday temperatures are forecasted to climb into the lower to mid-70s. This warm-up is attributed to changing upper air flows and increasing south winds. However, a cold front is anticipated to sweep through the region late Sunday night, ushering in a shift back to cooler weather.
For the upcoming week, the outlook shows cooler temperatures following the front, with Monday’s highs dropping into the lower 50s. Sprinkles or brief showers may occur along the Oklahoma-Arkansas state line early on Monday, but the front will likely pass through dry elsewhere. Following a potential brief stall of the front, colder air will hit by Thursday, affecting Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
This year, Thanksgiving may see highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s, with a chance of light showers, while Black Friday starts chilly, moving from upper 30s in the morning to highs in the upper 40s.
