Gray clouds hang low over eastern Oklahoma this morning, with cool, damp air settling across Tulsa as roads slowly dry and visibility shifts block by block.
According to the National Weather Service, mostly cloudy skies will hold through late morning across Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, and Bixby before gradual clearing develops into the afternoon. Temperatures climb from the upper 40s into the upper 60s, with light northeast winds keeping conditions stable but slightly damp in shaded areas.
This is part of a broader system exiting the Lower Mississippi Valley, leaving behind lingering moisture and cloud cover while warmer air begins building from the west.
The immediate impact centers on travel. Drivers along I-44, U.S. 75, and the Creek Turnpike may encounter brief visibility dips and leftover slick spots, especially near low-lying stretches and shaded overpasses. Conditions improve steadily after midday as clouds thin and pavement dries.
Take it slow during late morning travel and watch for changing road conditions, especially in areas that received earlier moisture.
Attention quickly shifts beyond today. Meteorologists are now tracking increasing wind and storm potential heading into early next week. Sunday brings gusts up to 25 mph, followed by stronger winds and a 30% chance of thunderstorms Monday night into Tuesday. A few storms could produce gusty winds, though severe risk remains uncertain.
Five-day outlook:
Saturday: Sunny, high 70°F
Sunday: Sunny, high 82°F, gusty winds
Monday: Mostly sunny, high 81°F
Tuesday: Storm chance, high 77°F
Wednesday: Cooler, high 72°F
