Foggy Wednesday Morning After Severe Storms Move Out

A hailstorm that moved through the Oklahoma City metro area on Tuesday has exited the area, but Wednesday is shaping up to be much calmer.

What is the weather like for Wednesday?

There will be poor visibility in some spots of Oklahoma Wednesday morning. The thickest fog is where we had the heaviest rain on Tuesday.

The fog will clear out by 9 a.m. or 10 a.m., and Wednesday afternoon looks fantastic, with highs in the 70s and sunny skies.

We do have an extended stretch of dry weather ahead. This is great for the cleanup efforts, awful for the drought stricken areas.

What is the weather like for the rest of the week?

Temperatures range from "normal" for this time of year to slightly below normal. Both days look dry, but rain chances return Friday.

This could become a hurricane Helene later this week. The latest data shows that it will make landfall in the Florida Panhandle late next week.

We will keep a close eye on this in Oklahoma because it could circle back and bring moisture to the Sooner state.

EMSA HEAT SAFETY TIPS

-HYDRATION is key in preventing heat-related illness. Drink plenty of water or electrolyte replacement drinks several hours before and during long exposure to the summer heat.

Wear light-colored, loose fitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat if working outdoors, and take plenty of shade breaks.

No alcohol or caffeine.

If you do not have air conditioning, find a cooling station or public space (such as libraries or malls) during the day.

Don’t limit your use of air conditioning.

Use the buddy system if working outdoors and check on elderly neighbors.

Keep a cellphone on you at all times when outdoors, including walking, running daily errands, yard work or sports and physical activity.
