It's been a quiet week for Oklahoma weather, but it looks like significant rainfall and severe storms are back in the forecast for Sunday, Nov. 16 and Monday, Nov. 17. After the storms roll through, Oklahoma can expect temperatures to get much cooler with a chance for snow.
Parts of the panhandle, northwest and western Oklahoma could all see rain over two inches through Sunday and Monday. While the rest of Oklahoma could see rain over an inch or less. According to the Oklahoma Mesonet, the rainfall could still shift as Sunday gets closer, but the latest forecasts have been "fairly consistent."

As for the severe storms, the National Weather Service in Norman is expecting them to develop near and south of the Red River on Sunday night. The weekend prior is expected to be sunny and mild. Clouds are expected to increase Saturday afternoon. Heavy rain is expected Sunday into Monday.
If severe storms develop, they are expect to pop up along the Red River Sunday night and into early Monday morning. The storms could produce damaging wind gusts. As of Thursday, Nov. 14, the National Weather Service in Norman stated that the locations impacted by severe storms may change and urges Oklahomans to remain weather aware.
Winter cool down headed for Oklahoma.
After the rainfall and severe storms, Oklahoma will receive a bout of Canadian air, which will bring in subfreezing temperatures and the possibility for snow. According to the Oklahoma Mesonet, on Thursday, Nov. 21, Oklahoma could see wind chills into the 20s and 30s.
