Oklahoma City gets a clear, comfortable start Sunday before the heat takes over. Temperatures near 70 degrees early will climb quickly, reaching about 95 under sunny skies with light north winds and no rain expected.
Triple-Digit Heat Arrives Tuesday
The warmup accelerates Monday, when the high should reach 98 degrees with mostly sunny skies. Tuesday is expected to be the hottest day of the stretch, with a high near 101 and south winds around 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Overnight lows will offer only limited relief, rising from around 69 degrees Sunday night to the mid-70s Monday night and upper 70s Tuesday night. The broader forecast also warns of elevated fire-weather conditions Monday and Tuesday in western Oklahoma and western north Texas as heat, dry air and low humidity combine.
Small Storm Chances Return Later In The Week
Wednesday through Saturday stays hot, with highs near 98 to 100 degrees. Rain chances remain low, but a few showers or thunderstorms could develop from Wednesday night through Friday, especially across northern Oklahoma, while skies otherwise remain mostly sunny.
People spending time outdoors should plan strenuous activities for the morning, take frequent breaks and drink water before feeling thirsty. Oklahoma City’s extreme heat resources page offers local information for staying safe as the forecast turns sharply hotter.
