Those in far southeastern Oklahoma should see decreasing cloud cover today as scattered showers end this morning.
Later today, residents across the state should experience mostly dry weather with temperatures warming well into the 60s this afternoon.
But with rain expected to return to the region Wednesday night and Thursday, the dry spell won't last. Forecasters say the weekend, however, should bring dry weather with mild temperatures.
