Good early Monday morning, everyone. We kept quiet as we wrapped up the weekend the other day. It was another hot day, though. After we got out of the lower to middle 70s, we found ourselves back into the lower 90s. Looking at our weather setup, we have a surface high over the Indiana/Ohio border keeping our south breeze on the light side. We’re also watching a cold front to our west that wants to come into play for the middle of this week.

Upstairs, we still find ourselves underneath the upper-level ridge that kept us hot last week. A change in this setup will let the upper-level low out to the west nudge the front in our direction.

With the ridge in control, it’s keeping us quiet this morning with low humidity allowing lows to drop back into the middle 60s. Once we get past sunrise, mostly sunny skies and a light south breeze will send us right back into the lower 90s for this afternoon. Even with the humidity relatively lower compared to the past several days, we’ll have just enough for temperatures to feel like they’ll be in the middle 90s this afternoon.

The ridge will start shifting to our south as we head into Tuesday as it also strengthens a little bit. With that and continued mostly sunny skies, we’ll see highs back in the middle 90s for Tuesday afternoon with feels like temperatures back near 100 degrees.

Heading into Wednesday, the upper-level highs shifts down into northern Texas. With that, the ridge will flatten out and allow the cold front out west to come close to the region. While we’ll stay in the lower to middle 90s for Wednesday and Thursday, the front will bring in chances for t-storms for both days. These chances look widely scattered and they don’t look to turn too strong or severe.

By the start of the weekend, the returning upper-level ridge will push the front back to our north. While it will keep us dry for Friday and Saturday, it will keep us quite hot with highs pushing back into the upper 90s across the area. It wouldn’t be surprising if some spots flirted with the 100 degree mark for both of those afternoons ahead of us.

By next Sunday, a stronger system upstairs and at the surface both plan on coming in. With the front, we’ll watch for t-storm chances Saturday night and into Sunday morning. Behind the front and with the ridge planning on shifting back to our south, that wants to bring afternoon highs back down into the middle 80s for Sunday afternoon.

While that drop in temperatures fits Doug’s pattern as we go into early next week, it won’t be long before some summer heat makes another return. Doug has that covered in your long range forecast below. Have a great Monday!

June 27th-July 2nd:  Back to warm temperatures to start the week but the hot temps (mainly 90s) return the second half of the week.  We will have chances for a pop up PM storm just about each and every day.

July 3rd-July 9th: Hot for Sunday before we stay warm for the 4th, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then, hot temperatures return for the rest of the week. Slight t-storm chances for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

July 10th-July 16th: Hot temperatures this week. Slight t-storm chances Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.

July 17th-July 23rd: Warm for Sunday and Monday before hot temperatures return for the rest of the week. Slight t-storm chances Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday.

July 24th-July 30th: With the exception of a warm Thursday and Friday, hot for the week. Slight t-storm chances Sunday through Wednesday.

July 31st-August 6th: Hot for much of the week before we back down to warm temperatures by Friday and Saturday. Slight t-storm chances Monday through Friday.

Good early Sunday morning, everyone. We all had to put up with another hot day across the area yesterday. While it was nice to see lows drop back into the lower 70s Saturday morning, we wasted no time heading back into the middle 90s yesterday afternoon. While most of us stayed dry, we actually had a frontal boundary on top of the region the other day and even early this morning. With this front, some heat and humidity lifted up and got some isolated t-storms going late in the afternoon and early in the evening.

What was interesting about the isolated t-storms was the movement from east to west and northwest. Very early this morning, some of those t-storms are still trying to hold on as they work across parts of northeast Oklahoma and southeast Kansas. The overall trend of the t-storms will continue to be a weakening trend as we go through the rest of the early morning hours. We’ll be dry by sunrise with temperatures dropping back into the lower 70s to start the day out.

Under mostly sunny skies, we’ll stay dry for the day with highs eager to push back into the lower 90s with a light south and southeast breeze at 5-10 mph. Even with the humidity staying relatively in check, it will feel like the middle to even upper 90s for the afternoon.

Looking at the week ahead, it will be the same story once again for Monday. With the upper-level ridge in control, we’ll stay dry under mostly sunny skies with highs in the lower 90s. The humidity for Monday will make it feel like the middle 90s during the afternoon.

After partly sunny skies with highs in the middle 90s on Tuesday, the ridge will shift to our south across northern Texas on Wednesday. That will allow for an upper-level wave and a frontal system at the surface to pay us a visit and bring slight t-storm chances back into the forecast. Even with that change in our setup, we’ll stay hot with temperatures in the lower to middle 90s for Wednesday and Thursday.

By Friday and next weekend, the upper-level ridge will build back into the area. Aside from a stray t-storm chance on Friday, this will make sure that temperatures stay hot with highs in the middle to upper 90s for Friday and Saturday.

Make sure you check out the long range forecast below. Have a great Sunday!

We made it through another work week and I hope you are ready for the weekend.  We know in general, the heat is going to stick around.  We have been above 90 degrees 6 of the past 7 days.  I really don’t see us breaking that streak anytime soon.  Lets look at Saturday.

Back into the lower to middle 90s for highs.  The difference here is we will have some late afternoon and evening isolated thunderstorms.  This means some random storms should pop up.  The better chances for this to occur will be in our southern counties.  Heat index again will be up there around 100-103 degrees.

Maybe a hair cooler on Father’s Day, but still hot.  Highs right around 90.

Finally by mid to late next week, our high pressure breaks down just a bit.  It looks like just enough to get some scattered showers and thunderstorms into the region or at least close to us.

Make sure you check out the long range forecast below.

Hey guys and gals!  I hope your week is going great!  We are almost to the weekend.  Now it is a little hot and humid, but we will see some chances for thunderstorms.  We are still in the current Heady Pattern and will stay in it for the next 3 months.  However, the pattern will start morphing from old to new here in the next 4 weeks.  I am super excited about this as I want to get rid of this pattern.  We are in the summer version of this pattern, but we are still seeing the same storm systems rotating through.  Alright, here is the reason for the heat.

This large upper level high (about 18,000 feet up) is killing us.  This usually means hot, humid and mainly dry.  We do get some waves that rotate around it, but until this breaks down, we don’t see much changes.  Now the high should start to break down a bit later next week.  Hot and humid again on Friday.

Highs back into the mid 90s with the heat index right around 105 once again on Friday.

Mid 90s again on Saturday, but we may get some isolated storms in here late in the day.  There is a chance that a complex could come together and rotate through Saturday evening.

Back to the heat and the humidity for Father’s Day.  Check out the long range forecast below.

Good early Wednesday morning, everyone. While it stayed hot once again on our Tuesday, some changes made the day more bearable compared to the past few days. After we got past our warm start around 80 Tuesday morning, we had a good south breeze throughout the day to mix up the sun’s rays coming from the sky. Not only that, we had some dry air mix down from the upper-levels of the atmosphere. That combination led to afternoon highs in the lower 90s with some lower humidity. Although minor improvements, they are still improvements compared to the hot and very humid past couple of days. We do have a few things in our weather setup that we’ll be watching over the next few days. At the surface, we have our next cold front coming across the Northern Plains and the state of Kansas.

Upstairs at the jet stream level, the upper-level high will do its job to keep us hot once again today. However, the upper-level lows to our northwest will try to push the cold front at the surface our way late this evening.

Before the front can do anything, we’ll stay quiet for much of our Wednesday under partly sunny skies. After another warm start in the upper 70s, partly sunny skies and a south breeze still in action at 10-20 mph (gusts near 30 at times) will only let temperatures top out in the lower 90s this afternoon. The humidity we will have will make temperatures feel like the middle to upper 90s during the afternoon.

While the day looks dry, we’ll keep an eye on the front just to the northwest of the region as we head into this evening and tonight. We’ll see some scattered t-storms develop along and just ahead of the cold front. There’s a chance that some of those t-storms could skirt across some of our northern counties late tonight and into very early Thursday morning. If anything can sneak in, they could be strong. However, we really aren’t worried about any severe weather.

While the front may be around to keep a slight chance for a few isolated t-storms very early Thursday morning, it won’t sweep through the area. With the south wind still in place and additional humidity returning, we’ll see highs back in the lower to middle 90s for Thursday afternoon.

The returning humidity will make feels like temperatures range between 100 and 106 across much of the area for Thursday afternoon.

Going into the weekend, the upper-level high will easily be in control of our skies. While it will keep us dry with highs in the middle 90s for Friday, a slight weakness in the ridge could allow for a slight chance for isolated t-storms to return on Saturday. Even with that, it will stay hot with highs in the middle 90s.

For Father’s Day and early next week, the upper-level high may drift to the southeast. However, it will stay in control and keep us hot with highs ranging from the lower 90s on Sunday to the middle 90s for Monday and Tuesday of next week. Even with this setup, some lower humidity by early next week could allow for overnight lows to finally drop back into the lower 70s to give us at least a break from the heat at night.

Don’t forget that Doug has your updated long-range forecast below. Have a great Wednesday!

Good early Tuesday morning, everyone. Needless to say, our hot and humid stretch of weather continued once again as we kicked off a new work week. After another warm start with lows in the upper 70s to near 80, we went right back into the middle 90s Monday afternoon. The humidity made it feel like it was between 102 and 109 during the afternoon. We do have some changes that we’re watching down the line, though. The first is down below.

While the warm front to the north brought severe t-storms to parts of the Great Lakes yesterday evening, we’ll focus on the cold front to our west that will try to bring some slight rain chances our way fairly soon. Looking upstairs, that cold front will start edging closer once the upper-level low over northern Idaho starts to push things along. For another day, though, the upper-level high is in control of our weather.

Our Tuesday will start on another warm and muggy note with lows in the upper 70s. Under mostly sunny skies and a breezy south wind, we’ll have no problem getting back into the 90s this afternoon. However, we’ll be a touch cooler with the upper-level high shifting just far enough to the east. Plus, that will take the edge off of the humidity a little bit. Still, highs in the lower 90s with the humidity could make feels like temperatures range between 95 and 100 during the upcoming afternoon.

We’ll do it all again for Wednesday. Once we get past another warm start with lows in the middle to upper 70s, partly sunny skies will let highs climb back into the lower 90s. The humidity could make temperatures feel like the middle to upper 90s for Wednesday afternoon.

Heading into Wednesday evening and Wednesday night, we will have that cold front approach close to the area to our northwest. We’ll watch for some scattered t-storms to develop along and just ahead of the front. While the bulk of those t-storm chances should stay just to our northwest, there’s a chance that a couple of those t-storms could try to sneak into a few of our communities northwest of I-44. If they can work in, they could be strong (but not severe).

That approaching cold front will be due to the upper-level ridge being squashed from the upper-level low to the north. That, and the upper-level high being shifted around through Thursday and Friday, will let the front stick around and keep slight t-storm chances in the forecast for both Thursday and Friday. Even with all of that, it won’t completely scrub out the heat. We’ll keep highs in the lower 90s for both Thursday and Friday.

After the frontal system moves on, the upper-level ridge will continue to maintain control of our skies for over the weekend and into early next week.

Even with the ridge centered over us, it still looks as though it might weaken some and allow for some haze to pull in from the south. That combination, if it holds in the extended forecast, could keep highs in the lower 90s. On top of that, we could also see that result in some lower humidity. Not only would that make the afternoons a little more bearable, it would allow overnight lows to drop back near 70. Don’t forget that Doug has your updated long-range forecast below. Have a great Tuesday!

Nick – Good early Sunday morning, everyone. Our Saturday was a hot and humid one with the entire area getting highs back into the lower 90s during the afternoon.

Combine that with dew points in the middle 70s (plenty of mugginess and moisture in the air), it felt like 100° to 105° during the day.

Everyone will have to deal with the heat advisories this afternoon and until 8 o’clock this Sunday evening.

On top of that, areas closer to Tulsa have excessive heat watches out for Sunday since those areas will see highs in the upper 90s and high humidity that will make it feel so much hotter during the day.

Looking at our setup at the jet stream level, we did have an upper-level disturbance riding along the jet stream. That caused a complex of t-storms to work across our far western counties late Saturday evening with the brunt of any severe weather staying mainly outside of the area. With that clearing out, our main focus will be on the building upper-level ridge with that high pressure centered across western Texas. That will be the culprit for our hot and humid week lined up for us.

While any t-storm chances are long gone, the clouds from those t-storms will keep us very mild (if not warm) through the night and toward sunrise this morning. Plan on lows dropping back only into the lower to middle 70s with a south breeze at 5-15 mph.

After the mostly cloudy skies this morning, we’ll see partly to mostly sunny skies take hold for the rest of the day. With the south wind still in place at 5-15 mph (gusts near 20 mph), that will push us into the upper 80s by the noon hour and into the middle 90s for this afternoon.

With highs in the middle 90s and dew points in the middle 70s for the afternoon, the humidity will make the feels like temperatures range between 101° and 109° during the peak heating of the afternoon.

For late tonight and Monday morning, we’re not going to cool off that much. In fact, lows will only drop back into the upper 70s as we get into your Monday morning. Under partly sunny skies, it will stay hot across the area with highs in the middle 90s once again.

While the humidity will be a little lower for Monday compared to today, future feels like temperatures will range between 100° and 105° during the peak heating of Monday afternoon.

That upper-level ridge will be in firm control of our weather setup through the week. That will keep highs in the lower 90s through the rest of the week. There might be a weak disturbance for Thursday and Friday that could allow for a few isolated t-storms for both of those afternoons. Other than that, we have a string of hot days and warm nights lined up for us this week. Don’t forget that Doug has your updated long-range forecast below. Have a great Sunday!

Good late Friday morning, everyone. We did have our round of showers and some t-storms this morning to start the day out. Fortunately, we didn’t see anything too strong or severe with our rain chances. In terms of rain amounts, the entire area averaged out to half an inch of rain. While many of us saw between a tenth and half an inch the heaviest rain up to 2 inches skirted across our far southern counties.

The rain and t-storms we saw this morning was due to yet another upper-level disturbance riding along the northwest flow of the jet stream. While it may play an additional role for this afternoon, our main focus is shifting to the upper-level ridge building to our southwest.

Before our disturbance can depart, we can’t rule out an additional isolated t-storm or two later this afternoon under partly sunny skies. Otherwise, we’ll have highs top out in the lower to middle 80s this afternoon with a light southwest breeze.

After the wave departs this evening, it’ll be all about the upper-level ridge building in. After a mild night with lows in the middle to upper 60s, partly sunny skies will let us bounce back into the upper 80s for Saturday afternoon.

For Sunday and much of next week, look at how our weather setup will be under firm control by the upper-level ridge.

That will keep us dry through much of next week. However, all this moisture from all the rain and the additional humidity that the upper ridge will bring… That is going to lead to many hot and humid days next week. For example, highs in the lower 90s Sunday through Tuesday and the high humidity will make it feel like we’ll be between the upper 90s and almost to 105°.

Don’t forget that Doug has your updated long-range forecast below. Have a great Friday!

Good Wednesday evening, everyone. Once again, Mother Nature has kept us in our unsettled pattern we’ve been in since last Saturday with another few areas of rain and t-storms earlier today. After that brought about half an inch on average across the area, we stayed dry under mostly cloudy skies through the rest of the day. That kept temperatures a bit cooler with highs in the middle 70s across the area. While we did have a cold front slip through the region today, the back side of the system (the stationary front now) will return as a warm front by Friday. Couple that with the upper-level setup still active, we aren’t in the clear just yet with our rain chances.

Before that duo can return with some rain chances, we’ll stay dry for tonight. However, all the moisture on the ground with a light breeze and quiet skies will lead to areas of fog overnight as lows drop back into the upper 50s to lower 60s.

Quiet skies with the southeast breeze returning in response to the returning warm front will lead to warm temperatures returning once again for the afternoon. Aside from an isolated t-storm in the afternoon, we’ll see highs bounce back into the lower 80s for Thursday afternoon.

While the evening will start dry, the returning front and another upper-level disturbance will certainly bring t-storms back into the forecast late Thursday night and into Friday morning. While we’ll have to see how they’ll develop and pass on through, the idea is still in place for a loud Thursday night and early Friday morning.

Given that, we will have a low severe threat for much of the area between 10 o’clock Thursday night and 4 AM on our Friday. While we’re keeping all the potential threats on the low side, any of the strongest t-storms will have a chance to bring some high wind gusts and some large hail.

Even if we somehow miss out on the severe threat, it’s just more rain on the way that we don’t need. While not particularly heavy, the rain chances late Thursday night and into Friday morning could bring additional rain amounts between half an inch and almost 2 inches for much of the area.

Once we get past the Friday morning drive or after 8 AM, the rest of the day is looking dry with some returning sun for the afternoon. Under a light breeze, that will send highs back into the lower to middle 80s across the area.

Through the rest of the weekend and into next week, a big pattern change will finally allow us to dry out after all the rain that we’ve picked up. While we can’t rule out a random t-storm on Saturday and Sunday, the building upper-level ridge will keep us dry through the rest of the weekend and through early next week. However, this is the first appearance of a summer upper-level ridge.

Once it kicks into gear, we’ll have highs in the upper 80s for Saturday and lower 90s to take us from Sunday through Wednesday of next week. With that ridge bringing in some additional humidity and all the rain that we need to evaporate or run through, it wouldn’t be surprising for it to feel like the upper 90s to almost 105 for each afternoon early next week. Don’t forget that Doug has your updated long-range forecast below. Have a good night and a great Thursday!

I hope your week is going great so far and you are staying on the dry side!  We do have another round of showers and thunderstorms dipping in by the morning hours.

Now this will be a dying area of thunderstorms, but they will flare up in our southern counties.  So we do have a low threat for severe weather.  If we had anything severe in the morning hours, this would be hail and wind.  Showers and thunderstorms skirt through during the morning.

Most of these storms will be out of here by the noon hour.  However the cold front will surge south through the region.  This will fire off some isolated PM storms.

We will finally get a chance to dry out on Thursday.  However, here we go again Thursday night with a severe threat once again.
