Issued on: April 3, 2025
Rain overspread Oklahoma today and will continue into Saturday.  Thunderstorms may bring large hail and tornadoes, especially in southern and eastern Oklahoma.  Heavy rain may bring significant flooding in southeast Oklahoma.  The precipitation will change to snow in western Oklahoma before it ends on Saturday.  All this precipitation will prevent fires and wash pollution from the atmosphere.  The Flint Hills of Kansas will receive little to no precipitation, so widespread burning will continue, and smoke incursions may reach northern Oklahoma.  After a widespread freeze on Sunday morning, cool and dry weather will continue next week.  Bright sunshine may contribute to ozone production, and some smoke incursions may reach Oklahoma.  Warm weather will return for next weekend.
