We’ll get a break from the stormy pattern of the past two weeks as a large blob of dry, stable air moves in. The deep low pressure that helped to bring the April 9^th/10^th severe weather will move slowly northeastward; the very large circulation around this storm will pull quite a bit of cool air into the southern plains.

This means unseasonably cool temperatures for Friday through Monday morning.

Overnight lows may be cold enough for a light freeze in southern Oklahoma cold spots…with a chance of scattered frost area wide on Sunday and Monday mornings.  A warming trend with sunny to partly cloudy skies should continue through April 15^th.

The dry air…which will move well south into the Gulf…should take several days to moisten up. This will keep the relative humidity very low through at least Tuesday.  I don’t see another rain chance until around April 18^th.

You might want to find your jacket for these cool nights…

Take Care,
