Oklahoma City, OK – Temperatures across eastern Oklahoma are set to climb on Wednesday before a cold front arrives late in the week. After several chilly days, residents can expect a brief warmup midweek, with highs nearing 64 degrees in Tulsa.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Tulsa, southerly winds will bring warmer air Wednesday, but gusts up to 20 mph may cause minor travel disruptions, especially on highways like I-44 and U.S. 75. By Thursday, cooler temperatures and an upper-level trough could result in scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms across southeast Oklahoma.
Wednesday is expected to be sunny and breezy, with a high near 64°F. Winds from the southwest may shift northwest by night, causing temperatures to dip into the low 20s. Thursday will bring highs around 43°F, followed by rain chances and gusty conditions on Friday afternoon.
Residents in eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas should remain vigilant Friday, as localized rainfall could briefly reduce visibility on major roadways. While no hazardous weather is expected through Wednesday, those planning travel Friday evening should monitor conditions for potential thunderstorms.
Looking ahead, the weekend promises a reprieve from the cold, with mostly sunny skies and highs reaching 60°F by Saturday and 63°F on Sunday.
