Oklahoma May See 100 Degrees Temperatures This Week
Oklahoma was teased by fall weather at the start of September. But now the heat is expected to return this week. Some areas of Oklahoma may even see temperatures back at 100.
After Monday, Sept. 9, Oklahoma is expected to start creeping into above average temperatures. By Saturday, Sept. 14, temperatures in some areas will be near 100 degrees. The good news is that overnight lows will remain in the 60s for a majority of Oklahoma.
As for rain, Oklahoma doesn't have a much of a chance for precipitation this week. Southeast Oklahoma will have a 20 percent chance for rain due to tropical storm Francine as it makes its way up the Mississippi Delta Region.
The lack of rain chances is bad news for most of Oklahoma, especially the areas of southwest Oklahoma that are currently experiencing an extreme drought.
Will Oklahoma have a hot September?
Although some are expecting Oklahoma to experience a second summer this September, some are predicting Oklahoma will have a brisk and rainy fall. This current temperature forecast is definitely leaning towards a second summer, and the NOAA's eight to 14 day extended outlook, Oklahoma could experience above average temperatures Sept. 16-22.
The good news is that the NOAA's extended forecast is expecting Oklahoma to have above average precipitation chances Sept. 16-22. Oklahomans may not want the warmer temperatures, but they will definitely take all the rain we can get.
