Partly sunny conditions are expected today, as is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in east-central and southeastern Oklahoma. Highs should cool off drastically, only reaching the 50s and 60s statewide, forecasters said.

Lows tonight should fall into the 40s and 50s, as a chance of storms continues for eastern Oklahoma.

Mostly cloudy conditions are expected Saturday through Tuesday, with a slight chance of storms in eastern Oklahoma on Saturday. Highs should rebound into the 60s and 70s.
