We have sunny skies today with highs in the 90s and 100s.
The weather looks great until there is a chance for rain on Thursday afternoon.
Temperatures will rise as the week progresses. The heat and humidity slowly build into the weekend.
What is the weather like in Oklahoma on Thursday?
Triple digits will return for folks in the northwest. Late in the afternoon, we are expecting storms to develop in SW Kansas and push down into northwest OK.
If these storms develop, they could be severe at times with some wind and hail.
Storms will move toward central OK tomorrow night and fizzle out.
What is the weather like in Oklahoma for the rest of the week?
It will be hot and breezy into the Father’s Day weekend.
There’s a chance for rain/storms late Saturday into early Sunday morning. The highest chance will be in northern OK.
The heat and humidity are slowly building this week, and the Oklahoma wind will ramp up.
Father’s Day weekend looks hot! We will have more details as the weekend gets closer.
PATTERN SHIFT COMING:
As we typically see, the main jet stream lifts north as we head into June. This is the main storm path, so Oklahoma’s organized severe season will come to an end.
We can and will still get strong to severe storms, but the tornado risk goes way down.
Next week, the big ridge of high pressure known as the “heat dome” will appear. This puts us in the northwest flow of the jet stream, which sometimes means complex storms arrive from the High Plains.
These storms could be wind and hail producers. We will see. Eventually, the heat dome usually moves directly overhead, and we shut off the rain and we see our temps spike. This typically happens in July.
