Tulsa, OK – Eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas are expected to see above-normal temperatures and dry weather conditions through early October, according to the National Weather Service in Tulsa.
Forecast data released Saturday shows daily highs climbing into the mid-to-upper 80s across Tulsa, Fort Smith, and surrounding communities. Minimum temperatures will hover in the upper 50s to low 60s. Rain chances remain near zero through much of next week, with only slight precipitation probabilities—around 5%—appearing late in the forecast period.
According to the National Weather Service, the broader 8-to-14-day outlook, valid from October 4 through October 10, highlights a high likelihood of above-normal temperatures across nearly all of the U.S., including Oklahoma and Arkansas. Precipitation trends lean toward below normal, particularly across central and eastern parts of the country.
For residents, this means a continuation of summerlike warmth well into the start of October, along with extended dry spells. The weather service notes that while conditions remain tranquil, outdoor activities should account for warmer-than-usual afternoons and limited rainfall relief.
This pattern follows an extended stretch of mild, dry conditions in the region, with little change expected until mid-October.
