1-HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT from 10 am this morning until 8 pm this evening.

2- Here is your forecast from the NWS/NORMAN;

Friday-Mostly sunny. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning. Hot with highs around 101. South winds 15 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.

Friday Night-Mostly clear. Lows in the mid-70s. South winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph, diminishing to around 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph after midnight.

3- You are aware of all of the heat precautionary actions so I want to state something that many are experiencing right now. The heat affects “attitudes” as we all know but when that attitude affects your driving and the way you treat folks, that’s a different ball game. Do the best you can not to drive when you are highly distressed. Take the extra time to cool down so to speak. We all handle the heat differently and patience levels do vary. When that attitude is in a bad place, accidents happen. Don’t want to see anyone hurt or hurt someone because you were in a bad place. Do what we tell folks to do when they get hot, hydrate properly and cool off.

HAVE A GOOD DAY AND STAY AS COOL AS POSSIBLE.
