We are tracking a complex of storms emerging from southwest Kansas early Monday morning. This activity is likely to continue from northern to central Oklahoma around midday and develop into more storms over the east central and southeast midday through early afternoon.
Strong to severe storms are likely, with the main threat being damaging winds and hail. The threat of tornadoes, although low, is not zero. This activity is likely to develop an area of convection-induced vorticity that may also generate some additional storms later tonight near and south of the I-40 corridor region.
Active watches and warnings:
What will the weather be like in Oklahoma on Monday, June 3?
Highs on Monday are expected to be in the 70s and 80s. Colder spots may develop locally in areas affected by showers and storms from morning to midday. The rest of the week should see lows in the 60s and highs in the upper 80s.
Humidity levels will remain high, but heat index values are projected to remain in the low to mid-90s through the middle of the week. Please be aware of your weather environment on Monday due to the threat of severe storms.
What are the storm chances for the week in Oklahoma?
Another disturbance is likely to influence the area Tuesday night into Wednesday morning with additional possibilities from southern Kansas to northern OK.
As the aforementioned cold front approaches the area Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, we will see some scattered showers and thunderstorms near this boundary, but the likelihood of a larger complex of storms appears drops with this initial intrusion into the boundary until the early hours of Thursday. tomorrow.
We will see warm and humid weather on Thursday and Friday before the northwest flowing storm train energizes with additional chances over the weekend.
A complex weather pattern is expected to develop over the next few days, extending into the weekend, due to upper-level airflow and multiple storm opportunities in and around the local area.
The predominant pattern favors the formation of late night and early morning storm complexes that will pass through the region, driven by the northwesterly upper-air flow. Daily variability in this pattern will continue and Monday’s weather will influence Tuesday’s conditions.
Predicting the exact timing and location of these events is challenging due to pattern variability. However, there is growing confidence in the arrival of a surface front (cold front) around Wednesday and Thursday.
Although this boundary is not expected to bring significant temperature changes, it may serve as a catalyst for additional storm activity from Friday through the weekend, along with anticipated airflow.
The expanded forecast will include thunderstorm chances throughout the weekend, focusing on storm complexes that may pose some serious weather threats, primarily damaging winds and the possibility of locally heavy rain.
