TULSA, OKLA — Quiet and warm for the evening and overnight hours across eastern Oklahoma. Temperatures will drop off into the mid to upper 70s by Friday morning.
Friday will be more humid with seasonably summer heat. Highs will be in the lower 90s with a heat index cresting above the century mark. During the day, a round of showers and isolated storms is possible, mainly north of Tulsa by afternoon and into the early evening. Any rain amounts are expected to be light. Shower chances drop off after Saturday morning.
Dangerous heat will build back in by the weekend with triple-digit temperatures and heat index values. Highs will be in the upper 90s on Saturday and above 100° by Sunday.
The heat wave will persist through much of next week with little or no rainfall and ample sunshine. Highs will range from 100° to 105° each afternoon with a few spots getting even hotter. Thankfully, humidity will drop off in this window of time keeping the heat index closer to actual temperatures.
As the heat intensifies, limit time outdoors during the hottest part of the day, stay hydrated, and never leave children or pets inside a parked vehicle. Older adults, young children, and anyone working outside will be especially vulnerable as dangerous heat returns.
