We are definitely stuck in a dry pattern right now with Hurricane Kay sucking the life out of everything and down toward the Baja California.
Should see temperatures get knocked down to below average with a front this coming Sunday.

The nighttime lows have been in the 60's which has made the mornings feel much nicer.
Slight chances of some storms with the front this weekend, possibly better chances this time next week with the leftover remnants of Kay moving east. Another storm front expected around the 19th/20th

For the first time since early June, when I go out to walk at about 6 AM it's been slightly cool. Feels awesome.
Some improvement but more widespread rainfall is desperately needed across the state. Things will get worse before they get better as the forecast is mostly dry for the next couple weeks. Hints of a pattern change developing at the end of September.
For anyone who has been waiting for the heat to break, it is absolutely picture-perfect outside at the moment. Tomorrow and Monday should be nice as well, but unfortunately looks like another lengthy streak of 90+ degree days starting on Tuesday.
Enjoy the cooler weather today and tomorrow. It heats back up this week and rain chances are now looking slim for the next two weeks. Strange pattern for late September with the lack of tropical activity and low pressure systems. Hoping we can finally get into a wet pattern in October.
Rain chances look absolutely hopeless through the weekend (honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we get 1-2 more 100 degree days if dewpoints mix out enough) but next week may be slightly more fruitful in that regard as the ridge starts to shift to the east.
The models were very depressing the past couple days but have been showing some hope in the past few runs. La Niña really handing it to us this year. Reminiscent of the late summer and fall of 2011 when the heat just wouldn’t ease up even into October.
Latest drought conditions get released tomorrow and it won't be good. Looking at drought history, 2022 could be a top 5 worst fire season.
Reading the Ticker today it looks pretty doom and gloom for almost all of October. Below rainfall and above temps.

^^^Depressing. The ticker is sometimes known to be off, though, when it comes to long-term prediction models. It's hard to project that far in advance. Hopefully this is one of those times. Plus, there's the possibility of a tropical system changing the game. It's been pretty quiet in that regard this year.
Sheesh. Mid-September and I’m still planning lake days with the family. It should be back porch, fire pit, roasted marshmallows, and long outdoor walks in the woods season but here we are. I’ve seen this before, as have most of you. It’s going to be stupid hot up until about the middle/end of October then BAM! Here comes a raging winter storm.
Oh. We need rain desperately. It is stupid dry right now.
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind but fall is my favorite season. It’s about the best fishing weather you’re going to get in Oklahoma. However, every day over 90 is one less day of nice fall weather. I know we get mid-90’s in September. Been to my share of awfully warm football games, but getting heat waves that lasted multiple weeks in September seemed to be much less common than what we’ve had as of late.
Also, we need rain. The lakes are pretty low around here.
I'm done with summer it needs to go!
Watch, it will go straight from summer to winter.
Fall is my favorite season, too.
Some hints of storms late Sunday next weekend otherwise hot and dry all week. Record highs possible mid-week. I don’t remember the last time it was this dry in mid-September.
Last September was pretty, pretty dry as well…think we went about 25 consecutive days without any rain.
