evening, with highest values in parts of east central Oklahoma.
Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are developing in northwest
Arkansas and far northeast Oklahoma, and will continue into this
evening. There will be potential for a few more organized
clusters of storms to produce isolated damaging wind gusts. Most
of the storms will end by around midnight.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Locations south of Interstate 40 will continue to experience the
brunt of the lingering heat on Monday with areas to the north
seeing some reprieve in a post-frontal airmass. Excessive and
prolonged heat will return by Tuesday with afternoon temperatures
likely to exceed 105 degrees with a reasonable chance for areas
west of U.S. 75 seeing temperatures at or above 110 degrees.
Excessive heat warning will likely be required Tuesday into
Wednesday.

Elevated to near-critical fire weather conditions are expected to
emerge Tuesday as very hot temperatures, low relative humidity
and increasing winds combine. Elevated fire weather conditions
will likely continue into Wednesday.

The persistent pattern of very hot temperatures and little to no
rain chances will continue through at least the next week.
