A Marginal Risk for severe thunderstorms exists on today, primarily during the afternoon and evening hours. Damaging downburst winds up to 70 mph will be the main concern, although isolated large hail in the quarter to half dollar size range may also occur. Locally heavy downpours and cloud-to-ground lightning should also be expected.

Heat indices will climb to between 95 and 105 degrees this afternoon, particularly across eastern Oklahoma where heavier rains have fallen recently. Please take precautions to protect yourself and others from the heat.

Near daily shower and thunderstorm chances will continue through this week, keeping a threat for lightning, locally heavy downpours and gusty winds in the forecast. Afternoon high temperatures will increase by late next week, leading to an uptick in the potential for heat stress impacts. Continue to monitor forecasts and be prepared to seek indoor shelter during thunder and lightning. Take heat precautions if working outdoors or during outdoor recreation.

Widespread triple digit heat index values remain forecast for both Thursday and Friday, leading to an increase in the potential for heat stress and heat illnesses for those not taking precautions or spending extended periods outdoors.
