.DISCUSSION...

A STRONG EARLY SPRING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH OKLAHOMA AND
NORTH TEXAS FROM THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE FRONT

POSSIBLE AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING IN
FAR SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA.

TEMPERATURES FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK WILL BE MUCH COOLER...WITH
NORTH THROUGH NORTHEASTERLY WINDS. A RETURN OF MOISTURE ALOFT WILL

RAIN DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS IF ANY PRECIP
