Weather Blog: A Festive and Breezy Week Ahead

The weather pattern will change, bringing a weekend warm-up before cooler weather returns next week.

Weekend Weather: Warm and Breezy

1. Saturday:
2. Highs in the mid to upper 60s, with a south wind at 15-25 mph increasing throughout the day.
3. Expect a frosty morning with lows in the 30s and 40s but a quick warm-up by midday.
4. Perfect for outdoor activities like holiday parades and hanging Christmas lights.
5. Sunday:
6. Highs climb to the mid-70s, making it a warm day for November.
7. Winds will be stronger, with gusts reaching 35-40 mph—use caution if working on ladders or other elevated activities.

This will lead to a mini-warming trend for the weekend, with highs in the mid-60s on Saturday afternoon and lower to mid-70s on Sunday.

Our next cold front will move into the state late Sunday night or early Monday morning.

What is the forecast for next week?

While a few sprinkles or brief showers are possible along the OK-AR state line region early Monday morning, this boundary will move across the region dry.

Cooler weather will follow the front, with Monday afternoon highs dropping from the mid-50s to the lower 50s, accompanied by gusty north winds.

This boundary may briefly stall and return northward Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning before moving south again as a stronger push of colder air arrives Thursday morning.

This means Wednesday afternoon highs will reach the upper 50s to lower 60s before the front continues moving southward, bringing cooler weather for the remainder of the week, including Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

As this happens, a disturbance will arrive from the west in the upper levels, bringing additional support for some light precipitation Wednesday into early Thursday. This probability will remain low for our immediate area.

Thanksgiving will bring a low chance for showers, with highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s and gusty north winds. Black Friday morning will start in the upper 30s to lower 40s, with Friday afternoon highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

Thanksgiving Week: Chilly with Rain Chances

1. Monday & Tuesday: A cold front moves in, bringing cooler highs in the 50s.
2. Wednesday: Warmer with highs around 62°F, but scattered rain chances begin overnight.
3. Thanksgiving Day:
4. Chilly and breezy with highs in the 40s and low 50s.
5. Rain chances are minimal but worth monitoring.

Looking Ahead: Colder End to November

1. Temperatures will drop further after Thanksgiving, with highs in the 40s by Black Friday.
2. Long-range forecasts predict below-average temperatures through early December.
