Weather Blog: Above Normal Highs This Weekend

This weekend, the upper airflow from the northwest, combined with a modest low-level morning jet, will bring a series of weak impulses that could spark a few late-night and early-morning showers across north-central Oklahoma near the Highway 75 corridor early Saturday morning, and once more late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Should any showers occur, they are likely to be brief, with any precipitation amounts being very low.

As the upper airflow returns from the southwest early next week, multiple troughs are expected to form. These systems will primarily affect the far Western third of the state but may also bring a slight chance of showers or storms by late Tuesday night and into Wednesday. A stronger trough will arrive later in the week, potentially leading to better storm chances next weekend.

Over the weekend, expect lows in the 60s and afternoon highs in the lower 90s.

Heat index values are projected to be around 96 on Sunday and could approach the upper 90s early next week.
