Warmer Than Average Temperatures Expected For Oklahoma

Oklahoma residents guessed it, the false fall wasn't going to stick around for long. Warmer than average temperatures have returned to Oklahoma and are expected to stick around for the next week.

According to the National Weather Service in Norman, warmer, above-average temperatures are expected to ramp up over the weekend. Daytime afternoon highs will linger from 90 to 97 degrees on Saturday and Sunday, but luckily, the humidity will be low, so it won't be the sticky, summer heat Oklahoma residents are used to.

Storm chances will return to Oklahoma on Saturday and Sunday.

Oklahoma's fall storm season kicked off on Monday, Sept. 8, with a tornado and massive hail in western Oklahoma. Over the weekend, western Oklahoma could see more storms on Saturday and Sunday.

Western Oklahoma has a 10 percent chance of storms on Saturday evening and a 40 percent chance into Sunday morning. More chances for storms are possible into the beginning of the week next week.

September will steadily get cooler in Oklahoma.

Even though the return of warmer-than-average temperatures are annoying for most Oklahoma residents, it won't last for long. As September continues, Oklahoma is expected to slowly cool down.

According to the National Weather Service in Norman, high temperatures begin to decrease by 10 degrees during September as the seasons transition from summer to fall. The decrease occurs because of less daylight hours and more frequent cold fronts and storm systems.
