A strong cold front is blasting across the Sooner state at this hour, producing wind gusts of 51 mph at the Tulsa International airport and spreading a wall of dust across the city (photo via twitter, by Pat Baldwin):
The range runs from 66 degrees at Blackwell (and now Newkirk) to 107 degrees at Waurika and Ringling!
Unfortunately, the strong, gusty winds are causing a high wildfire danger, and at least one large grassfire is reportedly underway in the Sperry area at this time.
The temperature contrast is also impressive as depicted by this recent screen shot of the Oklahoma Mesonet reporting stations:
