Severe Weather, Cooler Temps and Rain are all In the Forecast this Week

Well it looks like we might actually see some fall temperatures this week, and also the possibility of Rain, But as we know in Oklahoma, when we get rain, we always see a threat of severe weather. State Climatologist Gary McManus says We will see the possibility of large hail, a slight tornado risk, and possible flash floods, “it appears the severe hail is a big threat. Somebody’s gonna get 3-5 inches of rain, and somebody else close to them is gonna get a half-inch. But flash flooding is a big concern over the next couple of days.”

Looking at the forecast, we have at least SOME chance of severe weather throughout the state through Wednesday evening, and then we could see much cooler temps on the horizon.

McManus says we will see almost winter-like temps as the weekend rolls in, “I see winter
Saturday morning.”

Those fall-like temps will be welcome as its been hot the past few weeks, with most of the state still showing 80s and 90s. McManus says we may even have our first freeze on the horizon, “We’re getting much closer to our first fall freeze climatological dates, if not average then an early case.”
