Heat index values of around 105 degrees will be common this afternoon in areas south of a line from Okemah to Muskogee to Ozark.

Areas to the south will continue to see hot temperatures into the evening hours. A cold front will move through tonight and bring much cooler temperatures Sunday. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Persons spending time outside should lessen their activity... drink plenty of liquids... preferably water. Take frequent breaks and wear light colored... loose-fitting clothing. Strenuous activities should be reduced... eliminated or rescheduled to the coolest time of the day. Prolonged exposure combined with physical activity can cause heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Never leave children or pets in a closed... parked vehicle! Temperatures inside can reach over 150 degrees quickly... resulting in heat stroke and death.
