The wider storm

A strong upper level ridge of high pressure that was anchored over the Southern Plains and a humid air mass over the region combined to produce excessive heat conditions over much of eastern Oklahoma with daytime heat indices as high as 115 degrees and morning low temperatures in the mid 70s to lower 80s. The persistent heat resulted in several heat-related fatalities including a 43 year old male in McIntosh County, a 79 year old male in Latimer County, and a 72 year old male in Sequoyah County.
