Smoke from Canadian wildfires, mostly in British Columbia, is rolling into our Oklahoma sky. If it doesn't get too thick, it should be a pretty orange/coral sunset! #okwx

Please share…

Heat exhaustion is sneaky. Take steps to lower your risk, BEFORE you see signs of it. EVERYONE is at risk.

The heat and humidity will be dangerously high from midday to late afternoon this week.

Heat Index values may top 110° #okwx

Tulsa friends!!
Are your car windows up?

The one pop up storm in all of Eastern Oklahoma is moving in.

Not severe.

1241pm—
A couple of pop up storms bubbling up over Tulsa. Respect the lightning threat, and make sure your car windows are up.

Erin has been referred to as a "brown-water" hurricane because of that reintensification.

My thoughts on the Guadalupe River flood disaster.

www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cfr...

The surge of floodwater has passed the USGS river gauge along the Guadalupe River near Bergheim, TX, NW of San Antonio.
The river went from just over 5 feet to more than 49 feet in five hours. 44 FOOT WATER RISE.

Independence Day in Tulsa.
Records at Tulsa International Airport started in 1931

We've had measurable rain on about 1/4th of our July 4ths.

The coldest ever was a low of 57° in 1940

As the surge of floodwater moves down the Guadalupe River NW of San Antonio, near Bergheim, the river rose close to 28 FEET in two hours this afternoon.

Happy 4th.

(not to jinx it)

Tulsa hasn't hit 96° this summer.

Since 1931, the average first occurrence of 96° has been on June 24. The latest was in 1992, when we didn't hit 96° until August 10.

2019 was the last time we didn't hit 96° before July 1.

🦶🦶🦶
Since January 1st, Tulsa has received more than THREE FEET of rain. We'll end up less than 1/10" short of being the wettest first sixth months of the year in Tulsa weather records. (official gauge is at Tulsa Int'l Airport). #okwx
