Hot Temps, Storm Chances Return Saturday Night

What is the weather like in Oklahoma this weekend?

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 Oklahoma.

The heat and humidity are slowly building this week, and the Oklahoma wind will ramp up.

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.
