I don't think there's been a week this June where Oklahoma hasn't had some crazy weather in the forecast. Last week and this past weekend were one for the books, for sure. And after all that, Oklahomans will have to brace themselves for extreme heat and another round of severe storms.

According to the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma will begin to experience triple digits this week starting today (Monday, June 19), especially in southern Oklahoma and north Texas.

Today's heat advisory will extend into Tuesday, so you'll definitely want to limit your outdoor activities these next two days. We'll be out of the heat advisory by Wednesday, but that's when we could see another round of severe storms. Will Oklahoma ever catch a break? It doesn't look like it.

If you do have to be out in the heat, make sure you're being safe! Stay hydrated, wear sunscreen and limit your time outdoors. Also, DO NOT leave any children or pets in your car during a heat wave - this is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

Oklahoma's Best 4th of July Celebrations

There's nothing like celebrating America's independence in the heartland, and Oklahoma practically overflows with patriotism across the state. While most towns have their own celebrations, some are larger than others. Since it would be hard to catch all of them in one day, they're spread out a bit over two and a half weeks, pick one or more and let your American flag fly.
