The Rain has been a much-needed blessing across the state, especially in areas without rain in months.
According to State Climatologist Gary McManus, Oklahomans should enjoy the rain because the Oklahoma heat is headed this way, “Summer is coming, whether you’re ready for it or not. We see the tell-tale signs of an upper-level death ridge over the Southern Plains, with its sinking, compressing air and accompanying greatly increased odds of above normal temperatures.”
McManus says high temps are expected as we go through the week, and we may even see triple-digit temps hit the state by the weekend.
Oklahoma has seen some hot days, but we have not cracked triple digits yet. McManus said it ‘felt’ like one hundred, but we’ve only hit the high 90s so far across the state.
The six to 10-day forecast shows above normal temps for Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas.
