Feeling like summer at the end of winter.

According to the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma will continue to have record-breaking high temperatures today. Yesterday, temperatures topped out in the upper 80s. Oklahoma City and Lawton both say temperatures of 88 degrees. While south of the Red River reached the low 90s - Wichita Falls, Texas, had a high of 93.

High temperatures and critical fire danger are on tap again today in Oklahoma before a cold front blows in this evening.

Is there high fire danger because it's hot?

It's part of it! But it's mostly because everything is dry, low humidity and gusty winds. This means that the tiniest of sparks could cause a massive wildfire. So it's best to use extra caution on high fire danger days.

How cold will it be Wednesday?

If you like warm weather, enjoy it while you can. A cold front is expected to move across Oklahoma this evening and will bring temperatures back down to below freezing Wednesday morning. Some areas, especially in northern Oklahoma, could see wind chills in the teens when they wake up Wednesday morning.
