CPC Temperature Outlook

The Southern Plains will be tapping into some colder Canadian-based air by Wednesday with cooler than normal temperatures for late November. This will be the first time since early spring since high temperatures have been this cool in many areas. The last high tempreature below 60 in OKC was on April 2.

Tempeartures will generally be seasonable this week with slightly warmer yet mild temperatures this weekend.

Lots of sun is expected this week with only low rain chances toward middle of next week.

The CPC temperature outlook for 8-14 days out is leaning 30-50% probability of below normal temperatures across most of our area, to near normal temperatures to our areas near and south of the Red River.
