TULSA, OKLA — We've patiently waited for a cool down it has finally arrived! What a pleasant finish to the week with lows Friday morning in the upper 60s to low 70s, and highs in the afternoon in the mid/upper 80s. There is a slight chance of a shower or storm, but most of us will remain dry.
Confidence continues to increase regarding rain/storm chances over the weekend so we've bumped up the percentage to 70%. There is still some uncertainty with the specific timing, but make sure to have an umbrella on standby as we should all see well-needed rain at some point this weekend. The severe threat continues to look very low.
Temperatures this weekend will be dependent on rain-cooled air and whether we are able to get much clearing each afternoon. Saturday looks to be the coolest and potentially could match or break Tulsa's record for coolest high temp on August 10 (77F) set in 1996! Record or not, we are in store for an unseasonably cool and potentially wet day! We'll keep the chance of showers and storms in the forecast Sunday with highs remaining in the low/mid 80s.
The chance for a few storms will remain at least into early next week, especially over northern portions of the forecast area. 90-degree temps come back by the middle of the week.
