Tulsa, OK – Residents in eastern Oklahoma woke up to frigid conditions Monday morning as a cold weather advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. The National Weather Service warns wind chill values as low as -5°F to 10°F could lead to frostbite in just 30 minutes of exposure.
According to the National Weather Service, the advisory impacts portions of northeast and east-central Oklahoma, including Tulsa, Pawhuska, and Muskogee. Authorities urge residents to avoid outdoor activities, dress in layers, and keep exposed skin covered. For pet owners, officials recommend limiting outdoor time for animals during these extreme temperatures.
Monday’s forecast calls for sunny skies but highs reaching only 25°F. North winds at 10 to 20 mph will exacerbate the cold. Monday night will see temperatures drop to 14°F under mostly clear skies, with wind chill values remaining in single digits.
Looking ahead, Tuesday brings some relief, with highs near 30°F and sunny skies. However, overnight temperatures will once again fall to 14°F. The extended forecast shows potential snow showers Thursday night, as a cold front passes through the area. Highs by Friday are expected to climb to the upper 30s, providing a temporary break from subfreezing conditions.
Drivers are urged to proceed with caution on Highway 75 and other major roadways, as icy patches may form overnight. Residents should also monitor updates from the National Weather Service for potential advisories later in the week.
Stay warm, stay safe, and check on neighbors or those in need during this cold snap.
