FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!




Rain, you say (okay, *I* say, but now you can say, too)? Heck, it's raining right
now, for crying out loud!



And we have a lovely outflow boundary and something of a stationary cool'ish front
draped across the state that should help set off some showers and storms later
today, in addition to what's occurring now.





Now that means a lovely NORMAL temperature day across the northern half or so
of the state, but unfortunately...the folks in southern Oklahoma get to keep on
baking.





And for everybody tomorrow and basically through much of the rest of August,
it's back to the frying pan.







Look at those feel-like temperatures across the northern half or so of the
state, though!



Get out and enjoy it because where it rains today, that heat index is gonna be
nasty tomorrow!
