It Can't Be the Labor Day Weekend Without At Least a Chance of Rain

Another hot day in the low to mid 90s, combined with the high
humidity in place over the region, will yield afternoon heat
indices between 100 and 105 degrees.

Breezy south to southeast winds will yield a very limited fire
danger across portions of eastern Oklahoma this afternoon.


Thunderstorm chances will increase next week as an upper trough to
our west interacts with deep tropical moisture streaming into the
region from the southeast. Storm chances will be greatest during
the afternoon and early evening hours. Organized severe weather is
not expected. However, some isolated pulse severe storms could
produce some damaging wind gusts. Some pockets of locally heavy
rainfall are possible as well.
