A heavily charged, humid air mass is gripping southeast Oklahoma. While we will see a mix of clouds, sun, and high moisture over the next 48 hours, a stronger weather system is tracking toward LeFlore County—including Poteau, Heavener, and the surrounding areas—bringing high storm probabilities by Saturday followed by a great break from the summer heat early next week.
If you have outdoor weekend plans, travel scheduled along US-59 or US-271, or are heading out to local lakes, keep an eye on the sky and stay weather aware.
Friday Forecast: June 12
- Daytime: Expect mostly cloudy and highly humid conditions today. Highs will top out near 90°F, but with the intense humidity, it will feel a few degrees warmer. There is a 30% chance of scattered showers and stray thunderstorms popping up during the afternoon.
- Nighttime: Overcast and sticky with a low dropping to around 72°F.
Saturday: High Storm Probability
- High: 93°F
- Low: 74°F
- Rain Chance: 85%
- Outlook: Saturday brings our highest coverage of rain and storms for the week. While temperatures will briefly spike into the lower 90s ahead of the main weather system, a widespread wave of showers and thunderstorms is expected to sweep through the county by the afternoon and evening. Some storms could pack heavy downpours and gusty winds, potentially delaying outdoor weekend plans.
Sunday: The Cooldown Begins
- High: 86°F
- Low: 70°F
- Rain Chance: 25%
- Outlook: Relief begins to arrive just in time for the second half of the weekend. Skies will remain mostly cloudy, but the bulk of the heavy storm activity will shift east of the area. We will be left with just a lingering late-day shower risk and much more comfortable daytime highs in the mid-80s.
