Fantastic fall weekend as a warmer trend takes hold

The great weather continues across Green Country as the weekend approaches!

What’s the weekend forecast?

Saturday and Sunday will be nice too! We will continue with cool mornings and sunny, warm afternoons as highs reach the upper 70s and lighter southeasterly winds blow.

What is the forecast for next week?

Unfortunately, any significant chance of rain is still very low. A strong storm system this weekend will bring plenty of rain to the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles, but by Monday this system will move mostly to our north, leaving us with only a small chance of a few showers Monday into early Tuesday Close to and north of Tulsa.

We’re seeing signs of a further increase in significantly warmer temperatures next week, so enjoy the fall weather while we have it!
