.NEAR TERM...
(Through Sunday)
Issued at 112 AM CDT Sun Aug 9 2026

Another day, another heat advisory. Sunday will be mostly sunny and
hot, with widespread heat indices of 101-107. Parts of western and
northern Oklahoma will get a bit of a breeze with south winds of 15
to 20 mph gusting to 30 mph.

Fire weather is expected to be elevated to near critical across
western Oklahoma, especially northwest Oklahoma, due to RH values in
the low to mid teens. With breezy south winds and ERCs near the 95th
percentile, we`ve issued a Red Flag warning for this area.

.SHORT TERM...
(Sunday night through Tuesday night)
Issued at 112 AM CDT Sun Aug 9 2026

Heat continues into Monday and Tuesday. Heat indices will nudge
upward as moisture returns. Expect heat advisories for parts of the
area both days. Otherwise, breezy winds (15 to 20 mph in the
northwest) and sunny skies.

Elevated fire weather will be possible in northwest Oklahoma both
days due primarily to RH values in the upper teens.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Saturday)
Issued at 112 AM CDT Sun Aug 9 2026

Latest model runs are hanging onto the ridge a bit longer with MaxT
interquartile spreads not increasing until Friday (meaning higher
confidence in hot and dry through Thursday). We`re also seeing a
northward trend with the upper systems that do move through late in
the week, reducing the chances for rain and cooler temperatures
across southern parts of the forecast area.
