Hot & Humid Saturday Night, Thunderstorms Possible For NW Oklahoma

What will the weather be like this weekend?

Late Friday night, a few storms could move into western Oklahoma.

The weekend is looking hot & humid with more storm chances on Sunday.

Temperatures will be warm and breezy if you are bringing your furry friend to OKC for Poochella at Scissortail Park on Saturday.

Active Watches & Warnings:

1. Severe Thunderstorm Watch active for Alfalfa, Beaver, Dewey, Ellis, Harper, Major, Roger Mills, Texas, Woods and Woodward County until 1:00 am.

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.

Wind and hail producers. We will see. Eventually the heat dome usually moves directly over head, and we shut off the rain and we see our temps spike. This typically happens in July.
