Hot and humid start to the month. Friday looks cooler...
It was a nice 3-4 month reprieve but drought is on its way back across Oklahoma. Hopefully fall will bring some relief but La Nina typically means drier fall and winter weather across the state. The one x-factor will be tropical systems either hitting Texas and moving north or hitting the west coast of Mexico and moving northeast.
Friday and Saturday don’t look too bad, at least. Strongly suspect that the back half of this month is going to be absolute hell.
We now have a Cat 5 hurricane in the Atlantic: Beryl. It has been forecasted to weaken but if it stays together could impact the Texas coast early next week. With the high shifting east that opens up the possibility for some tropical moisture to move north into OK. The path will change everyday and it may avoid the U.S. entirely but something to watch this weekend especially if heading toward the Texas Gulf coast.
man if it doesn't weaken Belize and the Yucatan are going to get smoked ..
Thursday night is looking better for rain/storm chances. Doesn't look like any crazy amounts, but a drink and temperature relief is always welcome.
GFS showing Beryl landfall in Texas then moving north into Oklahoma Wednesday into Friday next week. Likely will change but would be amazing if it happens.
Thursday night:
Is the Sahara dust cloud still over the gulf region into Texas and, if l recall, shouldn't it help keep the hurricane strength down a bit?
SPC has upgraded the region to Slight Risk for tonight’s storms.
My AC and wallet will enjoy the short break this week.
Storms begin firing around 5 pm with more coverage expected toward 7-8 pm
7 pm HRRR
Looks like some small initiation a bit south of the greater metro.
Looks like it right over town!
finally getting some rain here in nw okc near lake hefner... all the storms going through okc have been just missing us to the east so very grateful for it
Really a nice soaker at my house near Penn Square and temp has dropped over 20 degrees.
I'll take every drop we can get in July & August.
