Wind Advisory Sunday

Hourly Temps into Monday

A strong cold front remains on track to move through the region Sunday, bringing sharply colder temperatures. Wind chill values on Monday morning will be in the teens for most areas, with single digits across northern areas. Dress in layers if you must be outside and make sure to prepare outdoor pets and animals for the cold!

Strong and gusty winds and low humidities behind a cold front will combine with increasingly dry and receptive fuels to raise fire weather concerns Sunday afternoon, particularly west of Highway 75 in eastern Oklahoma. Avoid behaviors that may inadvertently start a fire. Report any fire starts immediately.

An approaching weather system and associated strong cold front will result in very strong and gusty winds Sunday across northwestern Arkansas and much of eastern Oklahoma. Sustained winds in the advisory area are expected to be in the 15 to 25 mph range, with gusts as strong as 45 mph possible.

Sunday will begin with temperatures remaining warm for the season but will quickly fall through the day behind a cold front.
