Tulsa Weather: Isolated rain & thunder continue Sunday, daily rain chances this week
What To Expect Sunday
The forecast in green country is beautiful for Sunday afternoon! Temperatures in the low 90s, which is on par with the normal high temperature for this time of the year, with heat index values near 95.
Partly sunny skies are forecasted for the Tulsa area, and although most of us will stay dry, there is a low-end chance for an isolated shower or two. These will likely be brief and minimal.
When is the Next Chance for Storms?
Late Sunday afternoon, a complex of storms will develop in southern Kansas, and the leftovers of that system could bring storms to our viewing area, likely staying NW of I-44. There is a low-end threat for severe storms with this, so small hail and a few brief wind gusts are possible.
These storms will decay quickly as they move SE, but remaining isolated showers could linger through the morning hours. Some could reach the Tulsa metro, possibly affecting the morning work commute for some.
How Long Will the Rain Stick Around This Week?
In general, it will be good to have the rain gear handy all throughout the week, but rain chances will be isolated and sporadic over the next few days. Classic summer storms are likely, and won't be widespread.
Hotter Weather Ahead This Week
Temperatures this week will warm up slightly by the latter half, with highs in the mid 90s. Heat index values will ramp up yet again nearing 100+ degrees as a heat dome sits to our south and east.
Recreational Impacts
Area lake levels remain elevated, which could impact some recreational areas this weekend. Many lakes also have floating debris. Use extra caution on the water.
