The solution is simple, folks (and I know simple because I AM simple!): wake up at 7:01 a.m. Well, that's not really a solution unless it's 7:01 a.m. on July 3, 2023, but that'd be a pretty long sleep. Think of all the wonderful (AHEM!) Oklahoma weather you'd miss!
Here's the deal, though...it's gonna get nice and warm, relatively speaking, on Tuesday, then really cold Tuesday night and Wednesday, then warm up again by the weekend. It's the classic Oklahoma temperature roller coaster, just in time for December.

Don't worry (or DO worry...it is Oklahoma, after all), this will be a dry front.

We will see another chance for rain coming up deeper into the weekend, mostly down in...wait for it...right, SE OK.

The rain over the Thanksgiving Holiday will further erode the drought in that part of the state. It would be nice to spread some of that moisture farther to the NW, but that's the nature of things right now.

When we stretch out to the 60-day mark, we see just how much help--or lack thereof--we have seen by our burst of late fall early rainy season.

We'll say much of southern and east central Oklahoma have gotten a substantial amount of help, but the northern half--especially the far NW--is still lacking.
And I know lacking! I have the IQ test to prove it.
