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.

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.

Looking like a direct hit for Jamaica. Should weaken before reaching the Yucatan.

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.

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?
