NWS Forecast Office Tulsa, OK

Breezy south-southwest winds and low relative humidity will develop by this afternoon and elevated to near critical fire weather concerns could develop, mainly northwest of I-44 in NE OK this afternoon, where less rain has occurred recently. Locally critical fire weather conditions may occur in western portions of Osage and Pawnee counties, where a Red Flag Warning is now in effect.

Thunderstorms may develop along a cold front Sunday afternoon across portions of eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Storms may become strong to severe, with damaging winds and large hail the main threats.

Temperatures will warm through the rest of the week before a strong cold front brings a chance of storms on Sunday afternoon for some with elevated fire weather concerns behind the front thanks to strong northerly winds. Many locations will see freezing temperatures again Monday morning.
