Drought Update

A cool start to the morning is expected, then afternoon highs will get into the upper 80s to low 90s areawide. Dry conditions and a light breeze will help make for a nice afternoon!

Strong to severe storms are possible Tuesday across portions of northwestern and western Oklahoma. The strongest storms may produce large hail and damaging wind gusts.

Very temperatures will continue into early next week with multiple near-record temperatures expected.

Very warm and dry conditions continue through the weekend, with a cooldown and at least some storm chances next week.

We've seen some drought relief over the last few weeks, but a corridor from western north Texas to central Oklahoma remains in very bad shape.
