Welcome back folks!
This has been a warm winter across the eastern half to 2/3 of the United States, and it's no different in Stillwater. Things have cleared out since the low pressure system moved through on Wednesday, and this is going to allow nightly temperatures to drop, however with clear skies, temps will rebound each morning over the next week, until another system makes its entrance onto the Plains.
Due to a zonal pattern setting up over the country, the forecast over this next week is going to be fairly constant. Temps will drop into the mid to low 30s tonight with clear skies, but the temps will return to above 50 on Sunday afternoon. Sunday night things will only drop into the lower 40s, which sets a nice warming pattern for the work week. Monday night there looks to be a small system to the north of the area moving through, so some clouds, and a little rain will push through the area through the morning on Tuesday, but shouldn't affect Wednesday much at all. This system will not effect temperatures either, and the warming trend will continue on Wednesday. Stillwater should be around 60 through Thursday. Friday is when things will be changing. Next weekend currently looks to quite cold. Could this be the winter we've been waiting on? We shall just have to wait and see. February may bring the wintry scenes we have either dreaded or dreamed about.
Saturday night: Clear 36 F.
Sunday: Sunny 57 F.
Sunday night: Not as cold, 41 F.
Monday: Warm and Sunny, 61 F.
Monday night: Clouds, 40 % of rain, 48 F.
Tuesday: Rains and Clouds, 60 F.
Tuesday night: Clearing, 43 F.
Wednesday: Sun Returns, 58 F.
Wednesday night: Clear, 42 F.
Thursday: Warm, 60 F.
Hope you enjoy this bit of forecasting, I would love to get some feedback, so please comment!

Oak Ridge, TN Wx
Last night was a crazy night in weather, however things across the Southeast are a little calmer today. Welcome back!
An unsettled pattern seems to be developing for the Southeast, this system that came through this morning in Oak Ridge, produced a lot of severe weather to the west and south. Especially in Arkansas and Alabama. There appears to be a low that will be cutoff in the south west, if it hasn't already, that will slowly make its way towards the Southeast Wednesday through Friday. Models show this low system will track south of us, through Louisiana and Mississippi to the Gulf and then up through Georgia and South Carolina. However, there appears to be an Alberta Clipper to our north that will move through Illinois, Indiana and Ohio at almost the same time. This puts East Tennessee between a rock and a hard place. To our north, they may very well receive snow, and to our south should just be really wet. I believe that between these two, we will get some solid rainy day, but no real change in the temperatures as we will be along the warm front of the southern system. This will keep our temperatures in check, so no snow :( Another system looks to be heading our direction on Sunday as well, so a pattern of clear for a day or two, then a system should begin to set up. This could eventually bring us some colder temperatures, something all snow enthusiasts haven't missed this winter across the South.
Monday night: Some clouds, 36 F.
Tuesday: Mostly Sunny, 52 F.
Tuesday night: Partly Clear, 33 F.
Wednesday: Clouds build in throughout day, and the temps increase through day into night. Chance of showers 40% more in the evening, high will be closer to midnight than noon, 54 F.
Thursday: Rainy, 58 F.
Thursday night: Rain hanging around, 70%. 43 F.
Friday: Rain will slowly clear out, slightly cooler, 54 F.
Friday night: Mostly Cloudy, cooler. 34 F.
Saturday: Partly Sunny, cool. 48 F.
Saturday night: Clouds moving back in, 31 F.
Sunday: Cloudy, 30% chance of rain. 44 F.
Oak Ridge is in East Tennessee between the Smoky Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau. It is home to a national lab, and is where part of the Manhattan Project was located(ya know, atomic bomb). Anyway, the nearby university is the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, the Volunteers.
