Tulsa, Oklahoma – Oklahoma pavement will bake near 100 degrees today, beginning a five-day stretch of triple-digit or near-triple-digit summer heat.
According to the National Weather Service, Tulsa reaches 100 degrees today under sunny skies. South winds run around 10 mph.
Tulsa International Airport measured 80 degrees at 8:53 a.m. The heat index already stood at 81 degrees.
The sharper heat signal arrives Sunday. Temperatures climb to 102 degrees, while the heat index could reach 107.
South winds increase to 10 to 15 mph Sunday. Gusts could reach 20 mph, offering little relief from the heat.
Limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak afternoon heating. Drink water frequently and move prolonged work into shaded or air-conditioned areas.
Monday remains hot at 101 degrees. Tuesday and Wednesday both reach about 100, with early morning lows staying in the upper 70s.
That lack of meaningful cooling can compound heat stress, particularly for people without reliable air conditioning.
Drivers using I-44, US-169 and US-75 should check tires and cooling systems before longer trips. Carry extra water in case of a breakdown.
No rain or thunderstorms appear in the supplied Tulsa outlook through Wednesday. The local data also shows no tornado chance during that period.
The national severe-weather discussion places the organized severe threat elsewhere. It does not establish a tornado threat for Tulsa.
There is also no snow, ice or near-freezing weather in the local data. Flash freezing is not a concern.
Thursday remains near 100 degrees. Friday offers only modest relief, with sunshine and a high around 99.
That persistence makes duration as important as Sunday’s 107-degree heat index. Additional heat-related advisories could become important if conditions intensify.
