Oklahoma Could See Five Inches Of Rain Next Week
The end of January is just around the corner, and it looks like Oklahoma could end the month soaked. By Thursday, Jan. 30, some areas of Oklahoma could see up to five inches of rain.
According to KFOR Chief Meteorologist Mike Morgan, a slow moving storm system will move into Oklahoma by Wednesday or Thursday and will be moving west to east. So far, the estimated amounts would be a good rain event for the state.
Texoma Weather Lab's Meteorologist Austin Bowling is also expecting a wet event for Oklahoma next week. But it's not looking like temperatures will be cold enough for snow or ice. He expects the Gulf Air that's coming with this system to keep Oklahoma pretty warm and is expected to increase overnight temperatures as well.

Oklahoma will be warm and sunny as the week ends. Another cold front is expected to come through Saturday into Sunday that will bring temperatures back down, but it won't be as cold as we've been this whole week! No temperatures in the negatives are in the forecast.
As we get into next week, Oklahoma will be getting ready for the incoming of rain. As of Friday, Jan. 24, the National Weather Service in Norman is expecting multiple chances for rain throughout the week.
