Monday (April 4) Forecast

A cold front moved through the region overnight, with a line of thunderstorms over the eastern half of OK. A deck of low-level clouds is moving through post frontal and expected to clear out later today. An upper-level ridge will begin to build in and progress over the area the next few days, bringing mostly dry and clear conditions. A few mid-to-upper level clouds will be possible through the week. But the next best chance for precipitation will not likely be until Friday night into Saturday as a long wave trough develops out West.
