Rain chances for Saturday evening 7-8-21

It will be hot and humid Thursday and Friday for most of the state.

Our next storm arrives Saturday afternoon. Highs ahead of the cold front will be in the 80s and 90s.

Once the front moves in, temperatures will fall into the 70s.

Along the boundary, storms are looking likely in north-central Oklahoma in the afternoon hours. These will push to the south through Saturday evening and overnight. Storms along the front could be strong to severe.

A few storms could produce damaging hail up to golf balls, winds up to 70 mph, and localized flash flooding.

The timing of the cold front and storms will still shift some, so stay tuned!
