Tracking Spring Like Temps, More Storm Chances

A cool start to the morning after a few showers and storms moved through parts of the state on Monday.

Here are the details from News On 6 Meteorologist Alan Crone:

The storm system that brought a few showers and storms to southeastern Oklahoma on Monday night is now exiting the area on Tuesday morning. Spotty showers will occasionally move across eastern to southeastern OK through the early morning hours but should quickly end. Northwest winds at 10 to 15 mph, decreasing clouds, and highs in the lower to mid-60s will be likely through the day. Warmer temperatures return to our west on Tuesday and will migrate eastward Wednesday. A surface ridge of high pressure will settle across part of the state Wednesday allowing for sunshine, south winds at 10 to 20 mph, and temperatures climbing into the mid-70s. Our next storm system quickly approaches the area Thursday bringing another chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms to Eastern Oklahoma Thursday evening.

Thursday morning, a strong upper-level storm system will be in position across the western U.S. A surface area of low pressure develops along the lee of the Rockies and attempts to move across the state from west to east by Thursday evening. Differences in model data remain regarding the exact location of the surface low, but as of now, severe weather threats will remain mostly across southeastern OK Thursday evening. Regardless, we’ll continue to monitor for any potential of strong to severe storms as the main storm system impacts the area.

After a few leftover showers Friday morning, the pattern looks spectacular for the weekend. Saturday features sunshine with morning lows in the upper 30s and afternoon highs in the mid-70s. The only drawback Sunday will be strong south winds rapidly developing through the afternoon as our next storm system quickly develops across the western United States. This upper-level system will bring the potential for additional rain and storms early next week. 

Thanks for reading the Tuesday morning weather discussion and blog.

Have a super great day!
