Weather Situation for This Week/D.Barnes/EOC







Latest from the National Weather Service- anticipated extremely cold temperatures later this week and a 40% chance of freezing precipitation Wednesday night.

NWS - A cold surface high pressure, extending from the upper Midwest into the southern Plains, will maintain cold northerly winds today. Southerly winds will return tonight into Tuesday which will help warm temperatures for Tuesday (mid-30’s for central OK). On Wednesday a strong arctic cold front will arrive. Late week highs will struggle to reach 15 to 25 degrees, while lows could drop below zero degrees by Friday morning. Dangerously low wind chill temperatures and an extended period of sub-freezing weather are likely.

Graphic representations for today (Monday) and Tuesday, Wednesday, and later in the week are attached. We will continue to monitor and provide updates as necessary.

Thanks-

David K. Barnes, Director
Oklahoma County Emergency Management
