ers said stifling, dry weather will
continue over most of the state
through Wednesday.

northern Oklahoma tonight posed
the chance of widely scattered thun-
derstorms through the Panhandle

After highs today ranging to 104
degrees, slightly cooler, but still
scorching, temperatures were pre-
dicted across Oklahoma for primary
election day Tuesday.
Highs Tuesday should range from
the 80s in the Panhandle and far
northwest to 102 in central and east-
ern sections, after overnight lows
