The long slog
http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170717/dreaming.png
Oh we're in it now. We can only DREAM of winter now. We had a few days of showers, storms, rain-cooled air, etc. Only a memory now. That Friday forecast above is probably a bit on the conservative side, and definitely won't represent the misery forecast for eastern Oklahoma as they add moisture to their heat. Some places got blasted (KENTON WITH 4.69 INCHES??? YOU'RE SICK YOU'RE SICK!), others, not so much. How the heck does Kenton get 4.69 inches anyway? I know July is their "rainy" season (don't laugh, Idabel), but that's a bit extreme for those folks in a MONTH, let alone a couple of days.
As for the rest of the week, well, the NWS folks are all full of good tidings and cheer.

Prepare for heat advisories, especially across eastern Oklahoma.
The dreaded heat dome signature is showing up in the 7-day precip forecast with a big doughnut hole right over Oklahoma.

Some relief early next week is rumored. We don't like to gossip, but in this case...
Hey, have you heard about the cold front for next week?
