LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will be the theme of this weeks forecast. Daytime heating is going to fuel storm development most days starting after 2 in the afternoon. The threat will dissipate soon after sunset with the loss of daytime heating. Thankfully there is no forcing mechanism and little to no shear meaning severe weather is not expected. With that said, storms could still produce strong wind gusts along with embedded thunder, lightning and heavy rainfall.
