KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 159 AM CDT Sat Aug 1 2026

- Seasonable temperatures this weekend before returning to above- average next week.

- Dry conditions persist through Friday; a low chance of showers and storms exists over northwest Oklahoma late Tuesday.

NEAR TERM

(Through Saturday) Issued at 159 AM CDT Sat Aug 1 2026

The extreme heat observed yesterday is gone (for now).. just in time for the weekend.

North winds at 15 mph gusting to 20 mph, sunny skies, and a decrease in air temperatures and dewpoint temperatures will result in more pleasant weather conditions today as a 1015MB surface high expands over the plains. High temperatures will range from the low 90's (north- central to east-central Oklahoma) to the upper 90's (southwest Oklahoma and north Texas).

SHORT TERM

(Saturday night through Monday night) Issued at 159 AM CDT Sat Aug 1 2026

The aforementioned surface high will be the primary synoptic feature to influence our weather this weekend as the upper ridge gradually starts shifting eastward once again from the desert southwest. Precipitation chances are zero through Monday night.

Tonight into early Sunday morning, winds become light and temperatures cool into the 60's and low 70's. Temperature-wise, Sunday will be similar to Saturday, with highs rising a degree or two. Light winds will continue during the day on Sunday and begin to veer as the surface high begins to shift eastward.

By mid-day on Monday, winds return to the south with warmer temperatures. Highest temperatures (above 100 degrees) are expected across western Oklahoma and adjacent north Texas.
