TULSA, OKLA — Rain will gradually move out tonight, with the exception of southeast Oklahoma where an isolated storm chance will remain through daybreak. Morning lows will be around 70°.

Friday will be warmer and humid as southerly winds return. Highs will climb back into the lower 90s with a few places seeing a heat index nearing 100°. Isolated storms will be possible in southeast Oklahoma, but most of us will remain dry. Friday night football games will be warm, but not as hot as the first two weeks.

A few more isolated storms may develop Saturday. However, much of the weekend will trend hotter and more humid, with highs in the 90s and afternoon heat index values climbing back above the century mark.

Next week will be off to an unseasonably hot and dry start with highs remaining well into the 90s. Signs of a late-week cold front will bring renewed chances of rain and the potential for a cool-down to near-seasonable levels again.
