That includes Tulsa, Wagoner, Rogers, Pawnee, Creek, Mayes and Okmulgee counties.
Strong southwesterly surface winds will make temperatures surge into the 80s across much of eastern Oklahoma by Friday afternoon.

Southwest winds will gust as high as 35 m.p.h.
The purpose of a Fire Weather Watch is to alert everyone about the possibility for of wildfires.
