High Heat Thursday, Evening Storm Chances

What will the weather be like on Thursday?

Temperatures soar back into the 90s and low triple digits Thursday afternoon.

A stationary boundary will be stalled across northern Oklahoma on Thursday afternoon. Near this boundary a few isolated severe storms are possible. Trackers will be on it.

There will be a low risk for hail and damaging winds in those storms.

What is the weather like the rest of the week?

The heat stays with us Friday, and we could even get close to some record highs. Northwest Oklahoma could get lucky with a few isolated showers and storms in the afternoon and evening.

Saturday will be a scorcher! The cold front moves in Sunday. Behind it, a true fall feel!
