KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 147 PM CDT WED AUG 5 2026
- LOW SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY, MOSTLY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF NORTHERN OKLAHOMA.
- HOT TEMPERATURES CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK WITH TRIPLE DIGIT
HEAT AND AT LEAST A MODERATE HEAT RISK.
NEAR TERM
(REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 147 PM CDT WED AUG 5 2026
HOT TEMPERATURES CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON WITH HEAT INDICES OVER 105
DEGREES ONCE AGAIN ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA. A COLD FRONT ACROSS
NORTHERN OK HAS NOT BROUGHT MUCH IN THE WAY OF RELIEF, THOUGH
INCREASED CLOUDS ARE KEEPING THINGS A COUPLE DEGREES COOLER
COMPARED TO OTHER AREAS. A STRAY SHOWER OR STORM WITH GUSTY WINDS
CAN'T BE RULED OUT ACROSS FAR NORTHERN OK IN THE VICINITY OF THE
FRONT, BUT DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL FOR THE VAST
MAJORITY OF THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT.

SHORT TERM
(THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 147 PM CDT WED AUG 5 2026
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE QUITE SIMILAR TO TODAY, WITH LOW
SHOWER/STORM CHANCES ACROSS NORTHERN OK AND HOT CONDITIONS IN PLACE
AREAWIDE. MODELS HAVE TRENDED LOWER WITH POPS OVER THE LAST COUPLE
DAYS BUT HAVE RETAINED 15-30% CHANCES NORTH OF I-40. WITH EXTENSIVE
DCAPE OVER THE AREA, THE STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING. OTHERWISE, THE REST OF THE AREA CAN EXPECT A
CONTINUATION OF HOT AND DRY WEATHER WITH HEAT INDICES OVER 105
DEGREES EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN OK BOTH
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AFTERNOONS.
WARE
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 143 AM CDT WED AUG 5 2026
HOT AND DRY WEATHER WILL MARK THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS
THE UPPER RIDGE TRIES TO REASSERT DOMINANCE OVER OUR REGION. AS THE
FRONT WASHES OUT, WE SHOULD SEE DEWPOINTS START TO MIX OUT AGAIN
ALLOWING FOR SLIGHTLY LOWER HEAT INDICES EARLY NEXT WEEK.
DAY
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 1217 PM CDT WED AUG 5 2026
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THIS TAF PERIOD. A FEW ISOLATED STORMS MAY
DEVELOP IN NORTHERN OK LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING BUT CHANCES TOO
LOW FOR MENTION IN TAF. IF STORMS DEVELOP, GUSTY, VARIABLE WINDS
WOULD BE POSSIBLE. A BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO PARTS OF
THE AREA TONIGHT WHICH WOULD CAUSE A WIND SHIFT. OTHERWISE,
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL AFFECT THE AREA.
