Tulsa, OK – Oklahoma residents should prepare for a week of intense weather conditions, with thunderstorms and dangerous heat expected to impact the region. Showers and thunderstorms will continue across far eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas through mid-morning, gradually decreasing and ending by late morning.
