Tulsa, OK – Commuters across eastern Oklahoma are urged to exercise caution this Thursday morning as dense fog blankets highways around Tulsa and surrounding regions. Limited visibility due to the fog is expected to impact major roadways, including stretches of I-44, posing a particular risk for early drivers heading through valleys and low-lying areas.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Tulsa, fog began developing overnight, especially impacting northwest Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma regions. Visibility is expected to be reduced to potentially dangerous levels, with drivers advised to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra travel time to safely reach destinations. The fog is likely to burn off by late morning, but motorists should be alert to shifting conditions, particularly around intersections and areas with heavy morning traffic.
Following Thursday’s fog, Tulsa’s weather will see a shift, with partly sunny conditions and a high of 64°F expected by midday. However, clouds will gather by Thursday night, leading to a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms after midnight. The risk of rain continues into Friday, with showers likely throughout the day as temperatures reach 63°F.
Looking ahead, the weekend forecast offers a mix of weather, with a chance of lingering rain early Saturday before skies clear by afternoon. Saturday’s high will reach 64°F, with a chance for sunny conditions to return fully on Sunday, accompanied by a mild high of 67°F. Commuters and residents should monitor ongoing weather alerts, as fog and rain conditions may continue to affect travel and outdoor plans through the weekend.
