WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...No Hazards. SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... A low chance for isolated thunderstorms in parts of southeast Oklahoma and western Arkansas will exist again Tuesday afternoon, along with continued gusty southerly winds in most of the region. Increasing moisture in association with a tropical low in the western Gulf of Mexico will bring a very low chance for showers and thunderstorms to parts of far southeast Oklahoma and then, parts of eastern Oklahoma to the west of Highway 75 toward the middle of the week. Heat and humidity will increase for the weekend as upper level high pressure builds back into the region. Expect triple digit heat index values in at least some spots. A weakness in the upper level high toward the end of the weekend and early next week will bring a low chance for showers and thunderstorms back into the forecast for areas north of Interstate 40. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information. $$
