TULSA, Okla. – Get ready for another round of late-summer heat as temperatures in Tulsa and surrounding areas climb back into the 90s through next Wednesday. The National Weather Service in Tulsa is forecasting hot, dry conditions with little relief from rain or humidity for eastern Oklahoma and parts of northwest Arkansas.
Heat Sticking Around Until Midweek
Daytime highs across the region are expected to range between 91 and 95 degrees, while overnight lows will remain warm — hovering in the upper 60s to low 70s. These above-average temperatures will affect cities including:
Tulsa
Fort Smith
Fayetteville
Muskogee
McAlester
Rogers
Rain chances are minimal, with less than a 10% probability of showers throughout the period. That means no meaningful rainfall is expected through at least Wednesday, leaving fields dry and heat relief scarce.
What This Means for You
This extended period of high heat can be especially hard on:
Outdoor workers who spend long hours in the sun
Livestock without shade or access to water
Children and seniors, who are more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses
Homes without air conditioning or access to cooling centers
Authorities are urging residents to take simple but essential precautions:
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
Limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon heat
Wear light, breathable clothing
Check on elderly neighbors and family members who may be at risk
No Rain Relief in Sight
Even with late summer winding down, the forecast shows no major break in the heat pattern and no widespread rain expected for at least a week. Lawns, crops, and gardens may begin showing signs of stress, and residents are encouraged to use water wisely.
Summer isn’t done with Oklahoma yet. With temperatures climbing into the 90s and no rain in the forecast, it’s important to stay cool, take care of vulnerable neighbors, and avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun during the hottest parts of the day. The hot and dry pattern is expected to continue through at least next Wednesday, so plan accordingly.
