Sunshine with passing clouds this afternoon | 7/23AM
LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - As you’re waking up this morning skies are clear as can be. This allowed for temperatures to drop into the low 60s for some locations so you may need the light jacket walking out the door! Some fog may develop between now and 9 this morning but this threat is highest for areas along highway-81. Temperatures today will be a few degrees warmer than yesterday with many climbing into the low 90s. Mostly sunny skies today with a few passing clouds. I anticipate that most will miss out and stay dry, isolated diurnally-driven showers and/or thunderstorms can’t be ruled out. Strong to severe storms are not expected.
