Oklahoma City, OK – Another day of brutal heat is on tap for central Oklahoma as temperatures climb toward 98°F by mid-afternoon Friday, July 25, with heat index values pushing a dangerous 104°.
According to the National Weather Service in Norman, a Heat Advisory remains in effect until 8 p.m. CDT Thursday, but the sweltering conditions won’t end there. Friday will bring another round of high heat, with sunny skies, south winds up to 10 mph, and virtually no cloud cover to break the intensity. Expect minimal overnight relief as lows settle around 78°F Friday night.
Oklahoma City residents should avoid prolonged outdoor exposure from noon to 6 p.m. Friday. Hydrate frequently, seek shade, and check on vulnerable neighbors and pets. Those traveling along I-35 or I-40 should anticipate vehicle overheating and glare-related visibility issues during peak heat hours.
Saturday and Sunday continue the heatwave with highs of 97°F and 95°F, respectively. Skies remain mostly sunny and clear through the weekend, though the humidity is expected to drop slightly.
Looking ahead, Monday through Wednesday offer no significant cooldown, with highs in the upper 90s and overnight lows steady near 77°F. Winds will stay out of the south at 8–10 mph, helping disperse some of the heat but not enough to break the trend.
More advisories may be issued if the high heat persists through early next week. Stay weather-aware and follow updates from the NWS and local emergency management.
