Oklahoma To See Hot & Humid Memorial Day

We'll have a hot and humid Memorial Day for eastern Oklahoma. Highs this afternoon in the low 90s, but heat index values will make it feel more like upper 90s. It will be mostly sunny with passing clouds and light winds.

There’s a very small chance for a few spotty showers or thunderstorms in far northeastern Oklahoma today, but chances are less than 10 percent.

Heat index values will be well into the triple digits, around 105 each day. A few showers and storms are possible Thursday morning mainly across southeastern Kansas. Heat will continue into the weekend but a possible boundary is expected to move through on Saturday which could knock temperatures down slightly for the end of the weekend.

We’re hoping that boundary stays on track, and keep thinking cool thoughts!
