The big story for the next 48 hours will be the wildfire risk due to dry conditions and increasing winds.

Lows tonight will drop into the mid and upper 30s under mostly clear skies. Winds will be light out of the south during the overnight hours but will really ramp up after sunrise.

Tuesday look for southwest winds that will increase through the day peaking around 2 p.m. at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph. Highs on Tuesday will climb into the upper 60s and lower 70s with mostly sunny skies.

Wednesday moisture and cloud cover will return to the Sooner State. As another storm system passes through Kansas, it will bring a slight chance of showers and a few thunderstorms to Oklahoma late Wednesday into early Thursday. Right now the best chance for rain is in far northeast Oklahoma.
