Oklahoma May Get An Early August Cold Front
Summer is back in full force in Oklahoma! Temperatures have been well over 100 this week with intense heat indicies. A majority of the state has been under a heat advisory for most of the week. But some Oklahoma meteorologists are expecting to see a relief from the heat thanks to an early August cold front.
Until that cold front comes, Oklahomans will have to continue dealing with temperatures over 100. This weekend and next week will see temperatures hovering near 105 with overnight lows in the high 70s.
The NOAA's eight to 14 day temperature outlook also has most of Oklahoma leaning above average temperatures for August 9-15.
Meteorologist is predicting an early August cold front for Oklahoma.
Even though it's looking like extreme summer temperatures will linger through mid-August, one Oklahoma meteorologist is expecting a huge weather pattern shift in Oklahoma. KFOR Chief Meteorologist Mike Morgan started posting on his official Facebook page last week that Oklahoma could see a cold front and rains starting August 6 or 7.
Now that August has started, Morgan is still expecting Oklahoma to see a huge shift in temperatures August 7-12 with some areas in the 50s and 70s for the highs.
He has even told Oklahomans to "bank on it."
When will it be fall in Oklahoma?
Those who love fall and cooler weather are really hoping Morgan is right. As of August 1, it hasn't been reported that Oklahoma will have an early fall. But the Farmers' Almanac has predicted that Oklahoma will have a brisk and rainy fall this year.
The first day of fall is set for Sept. 22 this year. Oklahoma has seen some pretty warm first days of falls. So here's to hoping this year Oklahoma will be more fall-like sooner rather than later!
