Tulsa weather: Heat and humidity remain in Oklahoma

Heat Alerts Continue

Another Heat Advisory is in effect for Monday afternoon through 8 PM. South-southeast winds will continue but at lower speeds, mostly between 5 to 15 miles per hour.

Heat stress is likely across eastern Oklahoma and southeast Kansas this afternoon with some heat index values reaching between 105 and 110 degrees or a bit higher.

Will the Heat Intensify Into Early Next Week?

More than likely it will. Morning lows will hover in the upper 70s and lower 80s, with daytime highs climbing into the upper 90s to around 100°. Late in the weekend through early next week, a mid-level ridge of high pressure will settle near our region.

This pattern is expected to bring some of the hottest temperatures we've seen so far this summer. Coupled with local low-level moisture, heat stress will likely intensify. Additional heat advisories, and potentially extreme heat warnings, may be needed for several days. Highs could hit near 100, with heat index readings ranging from 105 to as high as 114. For users of the wet bulb globe temperature, these projected values would bring extreme heat risk early next week.  

Any Relief on the Horizon Next Week?

Looking ahead to late next week, some data suggests the ridge may begin to weaken slightly and move westward. This could open the door to a few organized showers and storm chances for northeastern Oklahoma during the latter half of the week and into next weekend. With this evolving pattern, we’ve lowered temperature projections for that timeframe.

Lake Levels

Area lake levels remain high, but most are gradually improving. Check ahead as high water levels may impact some recreational areas.
