Tulsa Weather: Weekend sees high heat index values in Oklahoma
Overnight, additional showers and rumbles of thunder are possible. More showers and storms are expected to bubble up Saturday.
This Weekend
Showers or storms can’t be ruled out, including early morning activity across northern Oklahoma. However, with no strong focus for development, rain chances will remain low for this forecast cycle. 
Highs will reach the lower to mid-90s. Deep low-level moisture will support heat index values climbing into the 100 to 104° range both Saturday and Sunday. Heat stress will be a concern. Stay hydrated and take precautions if outdoors.
Early Next Week
By Sunday into early next week, the pattern shifts as a weak upper-level trough approaches from the west. A surface front will slowly develop and move southward across the central Plains, increasing the chance for showers and storms Sunday night into Monday morning, and again Monday night into early Tuesday.
While upper-level winds remain weak, a few strong to severe storms will be possible near the boundary, along with locally heavy rainfall.
Clouds and scattered showers will help keep temperatures slightly lower early next week. Highs on Monday will stay in the upper 80s, with Tuesday and Wednesday reaching the mid to upper 80s.
Trending into the 4th of July Weekend
Looking ahead to the 4th of July holiday weekend, mostly dry and warm conditions are expected with temperatures near or slightly above normal.
