Parts of Oklahoma could see more rain today as a storm system exits the region, according to the National Weather Service.
Showers and isolated thunderstorms will be possible in eastern sections of the state, the weather service said. Flooding rain was possible in parts of southeastern Oklahoma.
Cloud cover will be slow to erode, helping hold temperatures below average in most areas.
Warmer conditions are expected by the weekend, but another series of storms could affect Oklahoma at the beginning of next week.
On Wednesday, skies were partly to mostly cloudy as rain began spreading west to east. Daytime highs ranged from 55 degrees in
Guymon to 70 degrees in
Enid. The mercury peaked at 65 degrees in
Hobart and
Oklahoma City, and reached 68 degrees in
Lawton and
Tulsa.
A flash flood watch will be in effect through this afternoon for
McCurtain County. Otherwise, skies should be cloudy statewide, with a chance of precipitation in eastern Oklahoma. Temperatures should top out in the 50s and 60s, then dip into the 30s and 40s tonight, forecasters said.
Partly sunny skies are expected on Friday. Temperatures should only reach the 50s and 60s for highs.
Clear skies on Saturday will allow temperatures to warm into the 60s and 70s, according to the weather service. By Sunday, another storm system is forecast to move across the central
United States, bringing a slight chance of rain.
