Submitted by dhartsock on Thu, 06/02/2011 - 07:20

 

An upper level ridge over the southern plains will dominate the weather today through the weekend. Cirrus clouds will continue to stream overhead today, which will be the main feature as Oklahoma remains hot and fairly dry. Southerly low level winds will continue. Expect Friday to be mostly clear and sunny, while Saturday may see a few more upper level clouds again. The ridge will continue to persist over the central US Sunday into Monday.
