What's the weather like this weekend?
Over the next few days, northern Oklahoma will continue to experience slightly drier air and a brief break from hot and humid weather.
Additionally, another upper-level system could form near the southern Plains by Sunday and could interrupt flow for a few days next week.
This should bring additional showers and storms Sunday into early next week.
Afternoon highs will likely remain below seasonal averages through early next week.
EMSA Thermal Safety Tips:
- Prehydration is key to preventing heat-related illnesses. 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.
