Oklahoma City residents can expect a series of sunny days with temperatures steadily climbing into the low 90s. As the heat index approaches the upper 90s, those venturing outside should plan accordingly to stay cool and hydrated. For today, the NWS forecasts a sunny day with a high near 92 and heat index values as high as 97, paired with strong south southwest winds ranging from 16 to 21 mph, and gusts potentially reaching 31 mph, according to the National Weather Service in Oklahoma City.
Tonight promises to offer clear skies and a low around 75, while the brisk south wind continues at a slightly reduced pace of 17 to 20 mph, with gusts that can still hit up to 30 mph. The clear pattern persists into the weekend, with Sunday's outlook keeping skies sunny and a high near 91.
