Tulsa, Oklahoma, is in for another stretch of scorching weather starting Friday, July 25. The heat is building again, and the weekend will bring even more hot, dry, and uncomfortable days across northeast Oklahoma.
If you’re planning to go out, especially in open areas like Highway 75, make sure to stay safe in the extreme heat.
Friday: Heat Index May Reach 104°F
The National Weather Service in Tulsa has issued a Heat Advisory for much of northeast Oklahoma, including Tulsa County. On Friday, temperatures will rise to about 98°F, and it could feel even hotter — close to 104°F due to the high humidity.
Winds from the south will blow lightly between 5 and 10 mph, but they won’t help much in cooling things down. Outdoor activities during the afternoon can be dangerous, especially for kids, seniors, and people working in the sun.
Weekend Outlook: Hotter Days Ahead
Saturday and Sunday will stay very hot. Saturday’s high will reach around 97°F, and Sunday will be close behind at 96°F. These temperatures, along with little wind, increase the chance of heat exhaustion if you’re not careful.
Although no major storms are expected, there is a small chance of a few isolated thunderstorms on Friday night, especially near the Kansas border. However, this won’t bring any significant relief from the heat.
Next Week: More Sunshine, No Rain
The heat doesn’t stop after the weekend. Monday and Tuesday will continue the same trend, with highs of 98°F and 99°F. Skies will stay mostly sunny, and no meaningful rain is expected until midweek.
Winds will stay light, mostly from the south and southeast. This means hot air will keep building up, and the weather will feel dry and sticky during the day.
