Morning showers and storms are once again helping to keep the extreme heat under control across parts of eastern Oklahoma.
As much and 1.55" inches of rain fell in parts of western Osage County on Thursday. Skiatook saw .80" inches while Tulsa received just .11".
The cloud cover early in the day has also help to hold temperatures below forecast highs today. This is not the case in western Oklahoma.
Buffalo, Oklahoma has set an all-time high on Thursday when the temperature hit 115 degrees. Several areas in northwestern Oklahoma saw highs at or near 110 degrees.
The heat is forecast to stick around through early next week and many parts of the state will likely see afternoon highs this weekend above 100 degrees.
To put the current heatwave out west into perspective. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Oklahoma is 120 degree in Tipton, Ok on June 27th, 1994.
