Bitter cold, wintry mix on tap

| |
Saturday
Sunny, with a high near 60. South southwest wind 9 to 14 mph becoming north northwest 15 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 28 mph.
Saturday Night
Mostly clear, with a low around 22. North wind 11 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

Breezy winds continuing overnight Saturday will give way to single digit to low teen wind chill values across the western half of Oklahoma and western north Texas. Temperatures will briefly warm Sunday under mostly sunny skies

Sunday
Sunny, with a high near 42. North wind 6 to 10 mph becoming east northeast in the afternoon.
Sunday Night

Washington’s Birthday
Partly sunny, with a high near 53.
Monday Night
Mostly cloudy, with a low around 26.

Monday will feature a brief warm up under weak ridging ahead of the next system. The upper low pivoting over Canada that brought the shortwave Saturday will bring yet another shortwave trough Tuesday. A strong cold front Tuesday will bring breezy winds and frigid air  by Wednesday morning with wind chill values near -10 to -20 degrees. This cold airmass will be reinforced by another shortwave trough axis following in the wake of Tuesday`s system. Thus very cold temperatures and dangerously cold wind chills will remain through Thursday. In addition to the cold airmass, Tuesday`s system will bring increased precipitation chances. Any precipitation ahead and along the frontal boundary may start in the form of rain/freezing rain, but will quickly transition to snow with the deep cold airmass following not far behind.

Tuesday
A chance of snow and freezing rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 38. Chance of precipitation is 50%.
Tuesday Night
A 30 percent chance of snow, mainly after midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 10.
Wednesday
Mostly sunny, with a high near 29.
Wednesday Night
Mostly clear, with a low around 9.
