Warm, dry and breezy conditions will lead to fire weather concern on Friday afternoon across western Oklahoma and portions of western-north Texas.
The potential for precipitation returns across portions of the area, especially central and eastern Oklahoma, by Saturday night and continues into next week. Not all locations will see measurable/beneficial rainfall, and a few strong-to-severe thunderstorms will also be possible during this time.
Warm weather will continue into Saturday. After that, we begin transitioning to a wetter pattern with temperatures closer to normal.
An active weather pattern, with multiple chances for rain and thunderstorms, looks to continue through much of the upcoming week. This includes potential for severe weather and heavy rainfall. Continue to check back as details come into focus over the coming days.
The CPC outlook 8-14 days out has our area likely above normal with precipitation and likely above normal temperatures. This suggest a warmer & wet trend going into the second week of March.
