Storms beginning to bubble up across the state. Very random development and nothing real organized expected.
Models hinting at a cluster of storms coming out of NW OK and into C OK this evening, which could be on the heavier side.
Once again, flash flooding is main focus.
Another day of random storms. They are popping up now across most of OK. Nice drink for the grass and a temporary cool down in store for the lucky ones.
Maybe a SVR storm watch coming for NW OK, some stronger storms are in SW KS and heading south. If they form into an MCS, we could have wind threat develop. Will have to keep an eye on this as it develops southerly.

I know it may be a bit early still, but can anyone tell me what the weather looks like for the late afternoon and evening for this Sunday July the 3rd? I have a fireworks display to do and as of this morning the NWS has the rain chances at 40% during the day and 30% Sunday night so I am getting a little nervous.
I will highlight the next handful of days in terms of rain chances.
Thursday night: Pretty solid chance at rain and thunderstorms over most of the state, near 100% chance northern OK.
Sunday: Another good chance at rain, at this time - looks like afternoon into evening for C OK. Potentially heavy rainfall overnight
Monday: Looks like it could be dry after morning.
Into the rest of the week: Similar unsettled pattern of random storms.
The dew point is finally down in the mid-60's.
I had read that the all-time high DP was 81... And we had been hovering in the mid to high 70's for some time. As in, true tropical type heat and humidity. That has to be a first for such a long patch of June.
It's amazing how much difference the humidity makes. It was blazing hot today but the humidity came down a bit and with the breeze, it's actually decent outside. The other night I sat outside in the shade at Mama Roja and sweat was rolling down the back of my legs even after sunset.
Showers and storms still lingering around this morning.
Sunday into Sunday night still looks like a potential for heavy rainfall.
Looking ahead, models are suggesting a change to put us into our classic summer ridge of death. Looks like 100F+ every day.
Seriously, the combo of heat and humidity (measured by dew point) has been running near historic highs for close to a month now.
Everyone concentrates on the heat but I bet records are being set in terms of discomfort. It's horrible even first thing in the morning.
Ridge of death that has been forecasted, is not as strong as it was looking last week. Looking more like mid to upper 90s with random storm chances coming into play, much like the last week or two. Not a terrible pattern for this time of year - and lucky ones get under the rain.
The heat so far has really been weird. It really doesn't feel like it has been that "hot", but man had it been uncomfortable.
I have been waking up at 7am on Saturdays to mow. I remember sleeping until 11am and being fine with mid 80s but it is just so humid.
