September 23 is the official First Day of Fall, and Oklahoma is expected to feel like summer. Areas of Oklahoma could see temperatures over 100 degrees!
September in Oklahoma started off with continued extreme heatwaves from the summer months. We've finally moved into some cooler weather and have had a few much needed rain showers here and there. But now the severe thunderstorms are headed back to the Sooner State this week.
Earlier this summer, Oklahomans were complaining about how much rain we were getting. Then summer did what it's notorious for and became extremely hot and dry. Thankfully, Oklahoma has multiple chances for rain this week, and cooler temperatures could be returning.
As we kick off September, Oklahoma will be far away from crisp and cool fall weather. We'll get to enjoy temperatures in the 90's until Friday, Sept. 1, which is when extreme heat is expected to return.
We always say Oklahoma weather does what ever it wants, and it's often not positive, but Oklahomans will be rejoicing this weekend as a summer cold front moves in. Some areas of Oklahoma could see temperatures below 90 degrees!
If you were thinking September would be the month that Oklahoma would finally feel at least a cool breeze, then you'd be wrong. It's looking like September will still feel like summer throughout the entire month this year.
Over the weekend, Oklahoma experienced several crazy storms! Several reports throughout the state indicated lightning strikes hitting the ground, and one tree in Indiahoma, Oklahoma, that was struck by lightning actually went up in flames.
You'd think fall was just around the corner with all of the fall and Halloween decorations hitting store shelves in Oklahoma. But, unfortunately, we're still in the deep of summer, and there isn't any sign of fall in the upcoming forecasts.
This summer in Oklahoma we've experienced extreme heat and several bouts of severe weather with heavy rain. We've had several storms with high winds and big hail that have caused all kinds of damage to our homes. But did you know that the heat and humidity themselves can cause significant damage to your home?
