ACROSS NORTHERN INTO CENTRAL OKLAHOMA WHERE PRE-FRONTAL TORCHING AND
EXTREME HEAT OCCURRED YESTERDAY ARE NEARLY 10-20 DEGREES COLDER
TODAY THAN AT THE SAME TIME YESTERDAY. WITH THE RECENT EXTREME HEAT,
TODAY SHOULD FEEL LIKE A BEAUTIFUL SUMMER DAY WITH SOME BREEZY NORTH
WINDS. AREAS NEAR THE RED RIVER AND SOUTHWARD WILL STILL LIKELY WARM
TO NEAR TRIPLE DIGITS, BUT WITH THE FRONT SCOUR SOME OF THE LOW-
LEVEL MOISTURE, FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE
AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURES TODAY. ANY PRECIPITATION TODAY WILL KEEP TO

IN THE WAKE OF THE UPPER TROUGH THAT BROUGHT THE FRONT FRIDAY, THE

DIGIT HEAT ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN OKLAHOMA INTO WESTERN NORTH
TEXAS. DRIER AIR WILL ONCE AGAIN KEEP THE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES
NEAR THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND THE HEAT RISK WILL AT MORE OF A
