Expect mostly sunny skies today, with morning temperatures in the lower 60s and afternoon highs in the mid-70s. Northwest winds will range from 15 to 25 m.p.h.
Wednesday Outlook
Wednesday will begin with morning lows in the lower to mid-50s, warming into the lower 80s under mostly sunny skies.
By Wednesday night into Thursday, a weak boundary will approach northern Oklahoma and may bring a few isolated showers or storms across extreme northern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas.
This activity is not expected to be strong or severe. The front will move near or just south of Tulsa before stalling, resulting in slightly cooler temperatures on Thursday.
Morning lows will fall into the lower to mid-50s, with highs only reaching the lower 70s.
Late Week: Increasing Rain Chances
From Friday through the weekend, a more unsettled weather pattern will take shape. The stalled front from Thursday night will lift northward as a warm front Friday into Saturday, accompanied by additional mid-level energy moving in from the northwest. 
A few showers or storms may develop Friday morning near and north of this front. Friday will begin with temperatures in the lower 50s and warm into the lower 70s by afternoon.
Weekend Outlook: More Storm Potential
On Saturday morning, the warm front will stretch across southeastern Kansas, where a few showers or storms are possible.
As the boundary lifts farther north, most of Saturday should remain dry, though low chances for rain will continue in updated forecasts.
Morning lows will start in the lower 60s, with afternoon highs reaching the lower 80s. South winds are expected at 15 to 25 m.p.h. under partly cloudy skies.
By Sunday, a stronger upper-level wave will approach the Central Plains, pushing the boundary southward as a cold front.
This will bring additional chances for storms by late Saturday night or more likely on Sunday. Higher rain probabilities are expected during this period.
Sunday morning lows will be in the mid-60s, with highs ranging from the upper 70s in the north to the lower 80s in the south.
Memorial Day Outlook:
The cold front is expected to clear the area early Monday morning, bringing improved weather for Memorial Day. However, if the front slows down, some lingering showers or storms may persist into part of the day.
