Oklahomans, get ready to crank up those air conditioners and stick to the shade, because the sun isn't playing around this week. According to the National Weather Service, today is set to be a scorcher with clear sunny skies and a peak temperature near 95 degrees Fahrenheit. And for those stepping outdoors, it’s not just about the heat — with heat index values brushing up against 100 degrees, hydration and sunscreen are your best friends.
Tonight will be mostly clear with warm temperatures around 76°F. Starting Friday, expect sunny and hotter days. The high will reach about 98°F, but it may feel more like 104°F due to the heat index, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Saturday will be sunny with a high around 96°F, and Sunday will be just as warm at about 95°F. Nights won’t cool off much either — temperatures will stay in the mid-70s. So, plan for indoor fun or find a pool to beat the heat, as detailed by the National Weather Service.
Looking ahead to next week, the hot and sunny weather sticks around. Monday will be mostly sunny with a high near 95°F and a low around 76°F. Tuesday brings a small 20% chance of showers or storms, but it’ll still be mostly sunny with a high near 95°F. Wednesday is similar — a 20% chance of rain and storms, with a slightly cooler high around 93°F, as per the National Weather Service.
