BREAKING NEWS: It's hot ... Enid hits 102 by 1 p.m., Freedom tops out at 112; heat advisory in effect

Staff and wire reports

Heat wave blisters Oklahoma



A heat wave is blistering Oklahoma, sending temperatures soaring to near-record levels for a second day in some parts of the state.

The temperature reached 112 degrees in Freedom in northwest Oklahoma before 1 p.m. Friday. The Enid area was the cool spot at 102, while Lahoma hit 104, according to the state's Mesonet weather recording sites. The Alva area topped out at 110 by 1 p.m., while Cherokee was 106 and Medford was 102.

The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for the entire state through Sunday, warning hot temperatures and high humidity could lead to heat-related illnesses.

Meteorologist Ty Judd says a combination of an upper-level, high-pressure system and warm southwesterly winds are driving temperatures up across western Oklahoma.

On Thursday, the temperature in Buffalo in northwest Oklahoma reached 115 degrees, the highest recorded temperature in Oklahoma since July 1996.

The hottest temperature ever recorded in Oklahoma is 120 degrees, which has been reached six times, most recently in Tipton in 1994.
