Heat in Tulsa, Oklahoma
Heat August 9, 2006 – August 10, 2006 · Tulsa, Oklahoma
The wider storm
A strong upper level ridge of high pressure redeveloped over the Southern Plains and combined with a humid air mass to produce another period of excessive heat over eastern Oklahoma. Afternoon heat indices ranged from 105 to 111 degrees and morning low temperatures were in the upper 70s to middle 80s. These conditions resulted in a heat-related fatality in Tulsa County as a 28 year old male collapsed while working and exercising outdoors.
