UPDATE: Freezing to sub-freezing temperatures will plague the state Friday morning. For this reason, the National Weather Service has issued freeze warnings and hard freeze warnings for a great deal of the state. Per the National Weather Service, a freeze warning means that freezing temperatures will occur. A hard freeze warning means that sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or highly likely. Temperatures in most cases will be near or set new record lows tomorrow morning. With us being almost a month into spring, a late-season freeze such as this will kill plants and sensitive vegetation left outside or not covered. Please take precautionary measures to protect your plants and crops NOW!
The National Weather Service has issued the following:
HARD FREEZE WARNINGS for the panhandle and northwest Oklahoma
FREEZE WARNINGS for southwest, central, north central, and parts of northeast Oklahoma
The coldest temperatures are likely to occur Friday morning between 7 or 8 AM. Therefore, if you are travelling to work or school, please dress and plan accordingly.
Friday
On Friday, skies will be sunny across the entire state of Oklahoma. Temperatures will warm back up to the low-60s in the western half of the state and the mid-to-upper-50s in the eastern half of the state. Central Oklahoma will sit right in between with highs mainly in the upper-50s. Stronger winds prevail, mainly in the east, as a westerly wind blows at 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.
Weekend
Perhaps the only "good" thing about these systems is that they occur during the week. We will, again, have beautiful weather across the entire state this weekend. Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy, and temperatures will be on the rise. We’ll have highs in the mid-to-upper-60s for the central and east and highs in the low-70s in the west on Saturday. On Sunday, highs in the low-70s will dominate across the central and east, while the upper-60s remain in place in the east.
