Oklahoma Weather 3/7 Morning - Flood Advisory Freeze Dance

Good morning. Oklahoma. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside this morning and you'll feel that crisp, post-frontal bite in the air. A stark contrast to yesterday's stormy chaos. That cold front has finally cleared the state, leaving behind a much cooler, drier airmass. We're waking up to overcast skies and temperatures hovering right around 40 degrees statewide. Quite the change from the severe storms that rattled northeast Oklahoma just last night. Down in Southwest Oklahoma, you're seeing the biggest temperature swing. After last night's storms, you'll only climb to 62 degrees today — that's 37 degrees cooler than yesterday. But hold onto your hats: north winds are howling at 13 to 21 miles an hour, with gusts up to 30. A few isolated rain showers might linger through noon, but we're drying out quickly. Moving north to Central Oklahoma, the story is similar but slightly milder. Oklahoma City tops out at 59 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Those north winds are still gusty at 10 to 17 miles an hour, making it feel more like 35 degrees this morning. Tonight brings clear skies and a chilly drop to 39 degrees. Northeast Oklahoma is the coolest spot today, with highs only reaching 57 degrees. You'll notice the wind isn't quite as intense here — just 5 to 10 miles an hour — but with mostly sunny skies, it'll still feel brisk. Tonight dips to 40 degrees under clear conditions. We're in a one-day cooldown before the warmth roars back. Sunday brings a dramatic rebound — 70s statewide — as southerly winds return. But enjoy the quiet while it lasts. Because by Tuesday, we're watching another severe weather setup. The National Weather Service is already flagging Tuesday afternoon for potential strong storms, with all the ingredients coming together: warm moist air, a dryline. And a powerful cold front. Looking ahead. Sunday is sunny and 70 — a perfect recovery day. Monday climbs near 80, feeling like spring. Tuesday brings storm chances back — some could be strong. Wednesday cools into the 60s, followed by dry and pleasant weather Thursday and Friday with highs climbing back into the 70s. We're just 13 days from the spring equinox. And you can feel the seasonal tug-of-war in this forecast. But with each passing day, we're gaining 2 minutes and 14 seconds of daylight. So the trend is definitely our friend. See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.
