Chilly Thursday As Rain And Storm Chances Return Into Friday

Thursday starts chilly but should be dry most of the day.

Another rain system could develop Thursday evening and continue into Friday as cold front (# 1) arrives. The moisture from the Pacific storm Sergio will move in on Saturday. The latest data keeps the heaviest rain in southern Oklahoma. Low severe weather and flooding threat (1-3") for far southern Oklahoma into north Texas.

A polar cold front (#2) will push in on Sunday and bring falling temps to the state. Some rain will redevelop behind the front setting up a raw, wet, windy and colder day. New data indicates a secondary surge of colder air will move in for Monday and Tuesday. Some additional precipitation is expected into Monday.

December-like feel Sunday into Monday! Snow in the panhandle with temps falling into the 40s by Sunday evening. Wind chills in the 20s by Monday morning. #okwx @NEWS9 pic.twitter.com/6uJYBYAsu1
