GOOD THURSDAY MORNING. I’M METEOROLOGIST JOSEPH NEUBAUER. A REALLY HOT DAY ON TAP. THIS COULD END UP BECOMING THE HOTTEST DAY OF 2024. WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE. WE’LL SEE. YOU’LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN JUST A SECOND. BUT WE DO HAVE AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING FOR MOST OF OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES. YOU CAN SEE TULSA TO STILLWATER UP TO PONCA CITY, ENID, AND EVEN THE NORTHERN METRO. UNDERNEATH THIS EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING, IT’S A HEAT ADVISORY HERE IN OKC. YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENCE IS NOT TERRIBLY IMPORTANT, BUT AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IS CERTAINLY A LEVEL UP. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OUR HEAT ALERTS. SO IF YOU’RE IN THIS PINK SHADED AREA HEAT INDEX VALUES PUSHING 115. JUST A LITTLE BIT HOTTER, JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE MOISTURE. THAT’S WHY YOU’RE UNDER THIS EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING VERSUS THE HEAT ADVISORY. YOU KNOW HEAT INDEX 105 TO 110. NOT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE. BUT STILL IT’S JUST INCREDIBLE TO SEE AIR TEMPERATURE HIGHS WILL BE WELL INTO THE 100 SECONDS. PLUS. WE’RE KEEPING SOME OF THE HUMIDITY THAT WE HAD YESTERDAY. SO SORT OF THE WORST TWO THINGS YOU COULD HAVE ARE IN THE CARDS TODAY FOR THE AIR TEMPERATURE HIGHS. BUT OBVIOUSLY YOUR HEAT INDEX TWO. NOW THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF RAIN THIS MORNING, A BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING. AND THEN OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY WE HAVE A LIVE SHOW STARTING AT 9 A.M. WE’RE GOING TO TRACK THAT CHANCE OF RAIN IF IT HAS ANY MEANINGFUL IMPACT TO BRINGING DOWN THESE TEMPERATURES, THAT’S COMING UP LATER HERE ON K
