Temperature Forecast

Isolated showers and storms may develop this afternoon into the evening across portions of central into southern Oklahoma and western north Texas. If a storm were to develop in portions of western north Texas, it would be capable of producing up to quarter size hail and 60 mph wind gusts.

Elevated to near-critical fire weather conditions are expected Thursday afternoon into the evening across portions of western Oklahoma into western north Texas.

Severe storms are possible Friday afternoon into the overnight hours across much of the area with the potential for all hazards.

Isolated storms may develop across northern Oklahoma prior to the cold front. As the cold front dives southward through Oklahoma during the evening and overnight hours, scattered storms will develop along the moving boundary through the late evening into the overnight hours. All hazards are possible, but the greatest threat later in the evening and overnight hours may transition to damaging winds.

Showers and storms will develop in the afternoon hours with chances increasing along a southward moving cold front Friday evening into the overnight hours. Rain chances will decrease from north to south through the morning Saturday.

Western Oklahoma into western north Texas will see several days of elevated to near critical fire weather into the middle of next week.

A cold front this weekend will bring near normal temperatures into next week. Post-frontal low temperatures Saturday night into Sunday morning are expected to be in the upper 30s to lower 40s.

Local Weather History For April 16th...

An interesting oddity occurred near Wichita Falls on April 16, 1977.
A weak tornado not only developed from a weak shower, as no lightning
or thunder was noticed, but the tornado then proceeded to move toward
the west, though most tornadoes move toward the east. The tornado was
accompanied by a loud roar as it moved through largely uninhabited
areas just west of Wichita Falls.
