Intense Heat for Saturday; Cooler, Rain Opportunity Sunday-Monday
2:50 p.m. Friday, 3 July 2009

Southwesterly winds and a nearby upper ridge will keep the heat potential high for Saturday with daytime maximums ranging from 99 to 104. Heat Index values will approach 110 in the afternoon especially over the eastern half of Texoma.

A front moving southward with decent upper support from a trough should provide a more widespread rain chance into Sunday and Monday. The models are speeding this front up just like they did with the one last week; so rain could move in as soon as late Saturday night.

Fireworks shows do not appear to be threatened with storms at this time, but it will be quite hot with temperatures between 9 and 10pm Saturday evening still in the low 90s!

Clouds and cooler weather with a chance of rain should linger into Monday with the front in the area. A slow warming trend will ensue by Tuesday, but the good news is a return to 100+ heat is not expected next week. The ridge will re-develop to our west, leaving us with just seasonably hot readings.

Here are the numbers:

Tonight: Mostly Clear…..Lows 73-78
Saturday: Mostly Sunny, Breezy.….Highs 99-104
Sunday: 40% Thunderstorms…..72/88
Monday: 40% Thunderstorms…...68/90
Tuesday: 20% Thunderstorms …...71/92
Wednesday: Partly Cloudy…..73/94
Thursday: Partly Cloudy…..75/94
Friday: Partly Cloudy …..75/94

May You Have A Safe and Happy July 4th Holiday Weekend!
