Through the rest of the evening, rain chances will mainly be confined to the western and southwestern portions of the state while areas further east will remain mostly dry. The cool front that made its way through the state yesterday will continue to sag further south toward the Red River region.
Statewide residents can expect drier and cooler conditions with light easterly winds overnight with temperatures ranging from the low to mid 50s in the northeast part of the state to mid 60s toward the southwest. Saturday will bring a nice warm up for Oklahoma with temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 80s while residents in extreme western parts of the state should remain in the lower 80s.
Rain chances should stay away over the weekend, but by the beginning of next week another cold front is forecast to enter the region resulting in increased chances for precipitation. Any rain that falls will be a welcome relief from the recent dry spell which has once again brought most of central Oklahoma back to abnormally dry conditions. Below is a National Weather Service graphic showing how the region is beginning to fall back into rather dry conditions, so the work-week rain chances will be a welcome sight.
Overall residents should enjoy wonderful weather this weekend with daytime temperatures slightly cooler than where they were this past week.
