Wednesday... Patchy dense fog will continue through at least mid-morning particularly along the Red River in far S OK and N TX, with visibilities under 1/2 mile at times... please take it easy on the morning commute! We'll see highs in the upper 80s this afternoon with SE winds at 10-15 mph under partly cloudy skies. One more chance for a few widely scattered storms this afternoon mainly in our western cities, but again it looks like a fairly low-end chance and rain chances for any one area are pretty low.
Looking Ahead... A dry, hot, and humid weather pattern continues to settle in after Wednesday with highs back well into the 90s and heat index values reaching back into the upper 90s to near 100 in some spots by the weekend.
