Sunday into early next week a warming trend will begin with lows in the 60s and highs in the mid-80s.  

Next week another western U.S. trough will be positioned to the northwest and west of the state.   Several disturbances are expected to round the base of the trough and eject across the southern and central plains with the southwest flow providing several days with thunderstorm chances.  

Tuesday into Wednesday a disturbance will approach and bring a chance for storms across western Oklahoma that may migrate eastward into the area by Wednesday morning.   Another stronger disturbance will be likely Thursday into Friday that may linger into earl next weekend with active weather including thunderstorm chances returning to the state.   Temps will be above the seasonal average. 

Thanks for reading the Friday morning weather discussion and blog.

Have a good day.
