This is a pretty crazy forecast as we are in for some major up and downs on the temperatures. After starting the week out cool with highs only near 70 Monday, a rapid warming trend will take us to the 90s from Wednesday to Thursday. Another cold front will bring thunderstorms Friday night and Saturday and possibly into Sunday. Monday was the first full day of summer in Choctaw County and what an unusual start it was with our 1 p.m. observation showing only 68 degrees and wind from the north gusting to 40 miles an hour.
