Mountain Cedar Location(s): Arbuckle Mountains, OK

Regional Weather: Sunday, Dec 19 update. TX/OK: Temperatures on Sunday will be in the 30s and 40s in Oklahoma with night time lows Sunday night at or below freezing. Temperatures in Texas will be seasonal in the upper 50s to mid 60s today. Night time lows will be in the 30s. The cold front moves out quickly as winds shift late Sunday afternoon to Sunday evening. With the return of south to southeast winds, temperatures will warm to above normal temperatures on Monday.
