Morning lows are expected to be around 70 degrees with afternoon highs near 100 degrees from Sunday through at least Wednesday. Weakness in the upper ridge could allow a weak surface front to move into northern Oklahoma, increasing the chance of more organized storms Wednesday night into Thursday and bringing a day or two of cooler temperatures.
EMSA Thermal Safety Tips:
- Prehydration is key to preventing heat-related illness. Drink plenty of water or electrolyte-replenishing drinks before and during prolonged exposure to summer heat.
- If working outdoors, wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and rest in the shade.
- Contains no alcohol or caffeine.
- If you don't have air conditioning, find a cooling station or public space during the day (such as a library or mall).
- Don't limit the use of air conditioning.
- If working outdoors, use a buddy system and check on older neighbors.
- Keep your phone with you at all times when you are outdoors, including while walking, running errands, doing yard work, or during sports and physical activities.
