What is the weather like in Oklahoma for the rest of the week?

We are watching the cold front that moves in Sunday for relief from the summertime heat.

It won't be drought busting rain on Thursday, but the lingering clouds could keep some of us from getting too hot.

Although it will "weaken" before landfall late tonight, that won't prevent significant surge along the Florida West Coast.

Flooding rain will also be a concern, especially on the northern half of the storm.

EMSA HEAT SAFETY TIPS

-HYDRATION is key in preventing heat-related illness. Drink plenty of water or electrolyte replacement drinks several hours before and during long exposure to the summer heat.

No alcohol or caffeine.

If you do not have air conditioning, find a cooling station or public space (such as libraries or malls) during the day.

Don’t limit your use of air conditioning.

Use the buddy system if working outdoors and check on elderly neighbors.

Keep a cellphone on you at all times when outdoors, including walking, running daily errands, yard work or sports and physical activity.
