Tulsa, OK – Drivers across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas may encounter patchy fog Friday morning, with visibility at times dropping below one mile.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, fog is expected to persist through 9 a.m., particularly in low-lying areas across northeast Oklahoma, northwest Arkansas, and the Arkansas River Valley. Officials warn that rapid changes in visibility over short distances could make for challenging travel conditions during the morning commute.
Forecasters advised motorists to use caution, slow down, switch to low beam headlights, and leave extra space between vehicles. Even in areas where fog appears light, visibility may suddenly decrease without warning.
Beyond the morning fog, the region is set to enjoy several days of quiet, dry weather. The latest seven-day outlook calls for seasonable conditions Friday, followed by a warming trend this weekend into early next week. High temperatures will climb into the mid-to-upper 80s across Tulsa, Fort Smith, and Fayetteville, with overnight lows mostly in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
Precipitation chances remain near zero across the forecast area through at least Thursday, October 2. The combination of sunny skies and above-normal temperatures may extend summerlike conditions well into the start of October.
Residents are encouraged to remain alert for foggy conditions during the early morning hours but can look forward to a stretch of dry, warm afternoons in the days ahead.
