Oklahoma Weather 3/7 Evening - Red Flag Follies

Good evening. Oklahoma. I'm Michael Nally. In Step outside you'll feel it, that crisp, clean air after last night's front swept through. We're waking up to 49 degrees, but don't get used to it. Spring is charging in fast. In Here's setup, down in Central Oklahoma, you'll drop to about 40 degrees tonight. Then the sun takes over Sunday, bouncing you right back to 72 degrees. It's a quick rebound. Head up to Northeast Oklahoma. And you're dealing with some patchy fog after 4 A.M. Lows there dip closer to 38. But Sunday clears you out nicely, pushing the mercury to 73 degrees. Southwest Oklahoma follows the same playbook—chilly tonight near 37, then a sunny jump to 73 degrees by Sunday evening. Folks Western Oklahoma is under a **Red Flag Warning** Sunday from noon to 9 P.M. That includes Cimarron. Texas. And Beaver counties. Southwest winds are going to be gusting to 40 miles an hour. Humidity drops to a bone-dry 7 percent. Temps hit the upper 70s. That's a recipe for rapid fire spread. If you were planning any outdoor burning, please hold off. Monday brings near-record heat. We're talking mid-80s statewide. It’s going to feel like opening a pizza oven at noon. Then Tuesday, a storm system rolls in with thunderstorms. Some could be severe, especially out east. Wednesday snaps us back to reality with highs in the 60s. And you might even see a light freeze Thursday morning north of I-44. Enjoy the sunshine today, but keep that weather eye open for Tuesday. See you tomorrow.
