It may be warm right now, but the first autumn freeze of the season will begin trickling through Oklahoma next week. True fall weather is definitely on the horizon!
Recently, Oklahoma had a bout of severe weather that brought heavy rains, high winds, hail and a lot of lightning. One father decided to take their son outside to experience an Oklahoma past time of watching the storms roll in when they were narrowly missed by a lightning strike.
One thing Oklahoma isn't is subtle. We're getting ready to make the transition from summer-like temperatures to fall, but it looks like Oklahoma temps will jump straight to winter this weekend.
Oklahoma kicked off October this past weekend with hot temperatures, but after a round of storms move through the state this week, we'll more seasonable temperatures for October.
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!
