Winds will shift to the northwest and temperatures will fall quickly through the 60s into the 50s in these areas by 7 pm. There is still a slight chance of thunderstorms developing this evening along the front in southeastern Oklahoma... But the risk of severe weather will diminish once the front passes at Any given location. Except for the possibility of some patchy light rain or drizzle... Most of western north Texas and western and central Oklahoma will remain dry through mid evening. Radar indicates rain increasing in coverage over much of west Texas and spreading slowly east... Ahead of a strong storm system centered over central New Mexico. Temperatures are falling in west Texas... And it appears likely that rain will begin changing to snow in that area by mid evening.
