Oklahoma – A cold front is expected to move through eastern Oklahoma today, bringing gusty north and northeast winds along with noticeably cooler temperatures. Areas north of I-40 will see highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, a drop from previous unseasonably warm days. Winds will reach 20-30 mph, and drier conditions will develop throughout the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, the cold front will begin to affect the region early this morning, with the strongest winds expected by the afternoon. Motorists traveling along I-40 and other major roads should be cautious of sudden gusts, which could impact driving conditions. Residents are also advised to secure loose outdoor items.
Looking ahead, temperatures are expected to rebound later this week, with highs reaching back into the 90s by Thursday. However, the breezy and dry conditions today could increase fire danger in some areas, so people should remain vigilant. Stay updated on local conditions, especially if planning outdoor activities or traveling.
