Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong ridge of high pressure aloft was anchored over the south central United States during the middle of the month. This pattern resulted in temperatures in the mid 90s to near 100 across much of eastern Oklahoma. This heat combined with unseasonably high humidity resulted in heat indices in the 110 to 115 degree range during the afternoons of the 15th through the 17th. Two heat-related fatalities occurred in Tulsa County during this period. One of the fatalities was the result of a man doing roofing work, and the other was a woman who was found dead in her home with no air conditioning. During this period, at least 29 other people were treated for heat-related illness in Tulsa County that required medical assistance.
