Temps to stay above normal next week but more rain could be on the way

(TULSA, Okla.) Scattered showers and thunderstorms will dissipate by around sunset Sunday. Another round of showers and storms is expected late Monday morning through the afternoon, but widespread significant rainfall is not expected.

After Monday, the rest of the week looks dry as an upper ridge builds over the area. There is a signal in some of the model data that a southward moving complex of thunderstorms may evolve Tuesday into Tuesday night and affect at least northern parts of the forecast area, but we have kept the forecast dry for now in line with the National Blend of Models. 

This potential will continue to be evaluated over the next day or two. Temperatures will be well above normal from the middle of the week through next weekend, but it appears dew points will be low enough to preclude any heat headlines.
