Current Weather in Durham, OK

We're preparing for a mix of weather impacts over the next couple of days. Across the Central Plains and Ohio Valley, thunderstorms will bring heavy rain on Thursday. As we move to Friday, severe weather could stretch from the Upper Midwest to the Central Plains, accompanied by the potential for heavy rainfall. Meanwhile, folks in the Southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley should anticipate continued extreme heat. Let's dive into the details below.

Central Plains to Ohio Valley: Thursday

A cold front is making its way through, causing showers and thunderstorms. The most intense rainfall will affect areas from western West Virginia to eastern Kentucky, where the ground is already quite soaked. Be on the lookout for localized flooding in susceptible areas.

Southeast and Tennessee Valley: Friday

The cold front continues its journey, bringing ample showers and thunderstorms to the Southeast and southern Mid-Atlantic regions. Expect some downpours, especially in areas that are already seeing rain.

Upper Midwest to Central Plains: Friday

Heads up as severe weather heads to this region! Showers and thunderstorms are expected, with some storms potentially severe. Watch out for heavy rain, particularly in northern Minnesota and the U.P. of Michigan.

Southern Plains to Lower Mississippi Valley: Through Weekend

The heat remains a major concern, with temperatures soaring due to an upper-level ridge. Areas in Texas are particularly affected, facing a relentless heat wave. While northern regions might get a slight break from the cold front, the heat in Texas and surrounding areas will persist into the weekend.

Southwest: Ongoing

Monsoonal moisture is bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms, which are typical for this time of year. Keep an eye out for brief downpours, but nothing too severe is expected.
