KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 612 AM CDT Sun Aug 9 2026
- Hot temperatures continue through at least mid week with triple digit heat and at least a moderate heat risk.
- Elevated to near-critical fire weather across parts of western Oklahoma today followed by elevated conditions Monday and Tuesday.
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.
Day
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.
Day
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.
Day
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS) Issued at 612 AM CDT Sun Aug 9 2026
VFR skies everywhere today. Winds will increase this morning and veer to southwesterly, with a subtle shift closer to due southerly winds occurring by early-to-mid afternoon.
