Expect High Fire Threat And Warm Weather In Oklahoma

Our pattern of warm and dry weather continues this week with above normal temperatures and below average precipitation. Our wind will shift to the north Monday night, but temperatures won't fall much. We're looking for overnight lows in the low 40's under mostly clear skies.

The wind shifts back to the south early Tuesday bringing temperatures back to the mid-70's. With low humidity and a brisk south wind, there will be a high fire threat Tuesday. This threat becomes extreme on Wednesday with highs in the upper 70's ahead of a cold front.
