Hot and humid conditions will continue wednesday, and have upgraded much of eastern oklahoma to an extreme heat warning for afternoon heat index values at or above 110 degrees.

After a brief break in shower and storm chances wednesday evening, an uptick in shower and storm coverage is expected again later wednesday night into thursday. Once again, the eastern part of the forecast area will be the most favored location for showers and storms. Heat headlines may again be needed in some places, but overall thursday may see a bit cooler temperatures and slightly lower heat index values than wednesday.
Once more hot day with likely heat headlines is expected friday before a cold front brings some heat relief for the weekend into early next week. Temperatures will likely fall back to below the seasonal averages saturday through monday, before warming back to near or slightly above normal by the middle part of next week.
