Tulsa, Okla. – Thunderstorms could develop across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas Monday afternoon, bringing gusty winds and brief downpours during the evening commute. The greatest risk for storms is expected between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m., with activity most likely east of I-49.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, storm chances remain low—generally between 15% and 40%—but any cell that does form could produce locally heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, and wind gusts strong enough to down small tree limbs or briefly disrupt power. Severe weather is not anticipated, but forecasters urge residents to remain alert for changing conditions.
Cities including Tulsa, Fort Smith, and Fayetteville may see spotty showers, while higher storm probabilities will focus on western Arkansas communities such as Ozark and Clarksville. Drivers should use caution on wet roads and be prepared for sudden downpours reducing visibility during the evening hours.
The unsettled pattern continues through midweek, with a shift to near- or slightly below-normal temperatures and a wetter setup arriving later this week. Additional updates and advisories may be issued if storm coverage expands.
