Tropical moisture on its way for next week

(TULSA) A mid level ridge centered over the Four Corners will continue to expand eastward through Monday, with mid level heights slowly rising overhead and the flow more northeasterly compared to northerly over the past few days. Broad surface ridging over the Southeast and weak lee troughing will continue to bring light south winds to the region. Temperatures continue to creep up slowly, and thus highs will be a bit warmer than Saturday. All eyes are focused to the south, with the tropics influencing our weather later this week. Increasing tropical moisture from the remnants of Marco that will advect west and north into our area by the middle of the week. Scattered showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms will be the result Wednesday and Wednesday night. The latest model runs have all shifted well west with the track of Laura, and should these models verify, direct impacts in our forecast area will be much more likely. We upped precipitation chances from the National Blend of Models for Thursday into Friday, and if the western track holds, further significant upward adjustments to storm chances may be needed over the next couple days. Shower and thunderstorm chances will continue into next weekend as a weak frontal boundary looks to either approach or move into the area from the north. Monday Sunny, with a high near 94.
