Triple-digit temperatures prompt heat advisory
A heat advisory is in effect through the weekend as sunny, dry conditions continue to produce triple-digit temperatures across Oklahoma.

Forecasters said the heat advisory will remain in effect through Thursday in northeastern Oklahoma and through Saturday evening in northwestern, southwestern and central Oklahoma.
