It's Not the Heat. It's the humidity. But it's a dry heat. etc...
Today, temperatures have risen into the mid 90s in western Oklahoma and into the low 90s in eastern Oklahoma. So why are heat index values higher in the east?
It's because eastern Oklahoma's temperatures are carrying a little baggage, in the form of mid 70s dewpoint temperatures. Western Oklahoma is basking in comparatively dry mid 60s dew points.

Cu Clouds Take a Photo Op
Nothing particularly earth-shattering here, just a neat satellite image. Notice how the cumulus clouds line up with the surface wind field ("looks like iron fillings near a magnet", according to the Mesonet quality assurace guru).
