A few of our areas could break or tie records today before our heatwave breaks tomorrow behind a cold front. Temperatures will rebound Friday becoming unseasonably hot into the weekend with only areas across southern OK & northern TX seeing triple digit highs #okwx#texomawx
Oklahoma City, Wichita Falls, and Lawton all added another 100 degree today to end the month August.

Oklahoma City: 32
Wichita Falls: 45
Lawton: 44

Oklahoma City has reached 109 degrees just 21 times in recorded history including today. 13 of those 109+ days have occurred since the start of 2011. We had never reached 109 later in the year than August 11th prior to today.
Mass impending layoffs for folks in NWS & NOAA is not only abhorrent, but also threatens public safety, the economy, and the scientific community.
