Early Heat Wave Slams Western Oklahoma- Check the Graphic

Mon, 09 May 2011 6:32:17 CDT

Early Heat Wave Slams Western Oklahoma- Check the Graphic The Oklahoma Mesonet site at Altus reached a high temperature of 108 degrees on Sunday. A quick search finds that is the highest temperature ever recorded in Oklahoma this early in the year. The OCS archives date back to the early 1890s. The 108-degree reading tops Buffalo's 107 degrees reported back on May 2, 1992. It obviously tops the record high temperature for May 8 anywhere in Oklahoma as well. The previous record was 106 degrees at Hollis in 1952.


Altus was not the only triple digit winner- much of western Oklahoma was right at the 100 degreee mark or higher. For wheat that has been on the edge in recent days- these hot temps will help drive those fields to the end of the road.


The map here is of the high temperatures on Sunday afternoon across Oklahoma- and here's the listing of the top fifteen triple digit temps from Sunday afternoon:
