Hourly Forecast - Twin Oaks, OK

The clipper throwing snow over the interior Northeast leaves town today, leaving behind only flurries in the region. Instead, the focus of today's inclement weather will push into two corridors: California, Oregon, and Nevada, and the central High Plains.

Hefty snow showers will squeeze out over the Sierra Nevada and Klamath Mountain Ranges, with 7 inches to over a foot building over both their peaks and mountains in central Nevada. Outside of the sizeable snow, lesser totals build up lower in the ranges, and light to moderate showers sprinkle along the West Coast.

In the southern and central Plains, a smaller low-pressure system launching isolated morning drizzle, flurries, and wintry mix into the Four Corners storm evolves into a strong yet short-lived system of heavy showers and thunderstorms by late this afternoon, drenching the region into the night. Some thunderstorms in western Oklahoma could turn severe, with hefty wind gusts, hail, and isolated tornadoes possible.

In contrast, the South, Midwest, and northern Plains will all avoid troubling weather this weekend, and it seems that March's lion will rest in these regions. 

Colder temperatures invade everywhere but the Great Plains and southern Rockies this week. Frigid high temperatures in the single-digits and 10s stifle heat in the interior Northeast under a staunch cold air mass. Highs in the 20s and the low 30s freeze the Great Lakes, central Appalachia, and the New England coastline. 

More temperate 30s and 40s swath the Midwest, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Northwest, while 50s and 60s give some semblance of heat to the South, the High Plains, the Intermountain West, and southern California. Hot spots to cap off the weekend will again hold strong in the Desert Southwest, Florida, the Gulf Coast, Texas, and Texas-adjacent communities. Expect 70s and lower 80s to arise, with higher temperatures leaning into the Lone Star State.
