Oklahoma Weather 3/8 Morning - Red Flag Warning

Good morning. Oklahoma. I'm Michael Nally. Step outside right now and Here comes 35 degrees under a clear sky. That calm you're feeling? It won't last. Today cranks up the heat. Oklahoma City hits 73 degrees by mid-afternoon. Down in Lawton, you're pushing 74. Up in Tulsa and across the northeast, you're sitting at 72. Southwest winds kick in at 5 to 10 miles an hour. And that's where things get interesting. Those winds and that sunshine are creating elevated fire weather conditions across western Oklahoma. Humidity drops into the teens out there. Any outdoor burning today could spread fast. Not the day to test it. Tonight stays mild. Clear skies continue with lows in the low 50s statewide. Winds pick up a bit, gusting to 21 miles an hour. Monday cranks the heat even higher. We're talking mid-80s — 84 in Oklahoma City, 85 in the southwest, 84 in Tulsa. Another day of elevated fire weather, especially northwest where the air stays bone dry. Breezy south winds continue. Then Tuesday flips the script. Showers and thunderstorms develop by mid-morning. Some could turn severe with large hail and damaging winds possible. Storm chances run 60 to 70 percent statewide. Highs still reach the low 80s before the front arrives. Wednesday's cold front drops us back to the mid-60s with lingering rain early. Strong northwest winds follow. Thursday and Friday look quiet — sunny skies return with highs in the upper 60s to low 80s. One more thing — clocks spring forward tonight. You lose an hour of sleep, but we gain daylight. Spring equinox is 12 days away. See you this afternoon.
