Looking at midweek projections, Wednesday will sustain the sunny streak, pushing thermometers to a near 86°F.

In a precautionary statement, the National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook covering a wide expanse, extending across northern, western, central, and southern Oklahoma, as well as western North Texas.
