Tulsa Gentleman: Skywatch Friday

Skywatch Friday - Local Storm

Last Tuesday we had a brief break in the heat when a thunderstorm blew through Tulsa. It was part of the 20% chance of rain that is a permanent part of our summer weather forecast. It cooled things down and settled the dust for a little but was more thunder than rain. This year we will take whatever we can get. We have had 100F+ most every day since early June and the western part of the state is blowing away.
