Brief break from the triple-digit temperatures in the forecast

Excessive Heat Warning
The National Weather Service issues an Excessive Heat Warning for Tulsa County

By April Hill

The hot temperatures overnight aren’t doing anything to help bring the temperatures down during the day.

Tulsa County remains under an excessive heat warning until 9:00 Friday night.

News On 6 Meteorologist Alan Crone says today’s high is 103 degrees.

Alan says, “The normal high temperature is 91. As you well know from the last couple of days have been from 103 to as high as 105. “

The forecast for Sunday shows 102 degrees for the high.

Alan says, “It look like that our mid-level ridge of high pressure is slowly moving away from the area this weekend.”

It won’t totally go away, but it is getting weaker.

“This is going to allow for some not as hot temperatures for Sunday and Monday.”

The high for Sunday is 99. The high for Monday is 98.

Alan says 48% of the state is in a drought. That’s in the western part of the state. The rest of Oklahoma is considered abnormally dry.

He says the heat will come back with a vengeance by the middle of next week.
