As for the metro area - fog will stick around for awhile Sunday morning, which means bridges and overpasses may still be a problem as temperatures hover around 32° in OKC. Temperatures will eventually rise into the lower 40’s by the afternoon, which will help the melting process before a line of storms (shown in the picture) rolls through overnight. Some of those may be strong!
