***Tornado Watch for Adair, Cherokee, Craig, Creek, Delaware, Mayes, Nowata, Osage, Ottawa, Pawnee, Rogers, Tulsa, Wagoner and Washington County until 10:00pm***

***FLOOD WATCH FOR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA UNTIL 7 AM FRIDAY***

Not everyone will see storms tonight, but odds look highest north, with the lowest odds south of I-40. Locally heavy rain and even a few severe storms will be possible, but the overall severe threat should diminish after midnight.

Lows by daybreak should hold in the low/mid 70s with a few spotty showers possible Friday morning. A few severe storms are possible again Friday afternoon and early evening with highs near 90°.

Over the weekend, morning lows only dip to near 80° with highs in the lower to mid-90s. The heat index will climb to over the century mark each afternoon. Gusty south winds take hold for the weekend as well.

The summer weather pattern lasts for all of next week with hot and very humid conditions and only a few minor chances of a shower or t-storm. Daily heat index values will likely top the 100° each day through the Fourth of July weekend with ample sunshine. If your plans take you out to area lakes next week, gusty south winds will likely equal choppy water.
