Upper level high pressure will continue to bring increasing heat and humidity to the region through much of the upcoming week, thus leading to triple digit heat index values. Potential for heat stress impacts will continue, and additional heat headlines will likely be needed. As the upper level high pressure shifts west of the region, low to moderate shower and thunderstorm chances will return towards the middle of next week. Upper level high pressure will quickly build back over the region for the latter part of the week, with hot and humid conditions persisting. Lower chances for thunderstorms may brush parts of far northeast Oklahoma next weekend. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information. $$
