TULSA, OKLA — A few t-storms cannot be ruled out this evening north of Tulsa. Otherwise, we are looking at a warm and quiet end to our Tuesday as temperatures fall into the lower 70s overnight and into Wednesday morning.
Wednesday will be the hottest day of the week with ample sunshine. Afternoon readings will climb into the lower 90s with a heat index topping 100°. Strong south winds accompany the heat and humidity. Gusts could top 30 mph throughout the day.
A cold front approaching the region Wednesday night will increase the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms. Storms are expected to develop first across southeast Kansas and could enter far northern Oklahoma by late evening. These storms may pose a risk for large hail and strong wind gusts.
A low end severe weather threat continues into Thursday as the cold front slowly slides southward across Green Country during the day. Rain and thunderstorms will become more widespread across the region. Heavy rainfall may lead to localized flash flooding in some areas.
Behind the cold front, temperatures will fall back below normal for mid-June. Cloud cover, rainfall, and north winds will help keep daytime highs in the mid-80s on Thursday and Friday.
A brief break in rainfall is expected late this week, but the pattern is not expected to stay dry for long. Over the weekend another round or two of rain and t-storms is likely with an increase in heat and humidity again. The highest chance of rain will come Father's Day with a low potential for some severe weather. Periods of wet weather likely continue well into next week across our area.
