When will temperatures drop?

A cold front is expected to move through Wednesday, which will take Oklahoma back into average temperatures for this time of year. Oklahomans will wake up Wednesday morning with temperatures below freezing.

Will Oklahoma receive snow?

Some areas of Oklahoma could see a rain/snow mix Thursday morning as the cold front settles in. Specifically those Okies in northwest Oklahoma.
