Tulsa, Oklahoma – Temperatures across Oklahoma will soar to near 90°F by midweek, with many cities experiencing the hottest weather so far this season. Cities like Tulsa, Fort Smith, and Fayetteville are forecast to reach high 80s and low 90s by Wednesday, prompting a shift to summer-like conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, highs will start in the mid-70s this weekend, but by Tuesday, much of the state will see temperatures in the mid-80s, with Wednesday being the peak of the heat. Tulsa, for instance, will see a high of 91°F by Wednesday, while Fort Smith and Fayetteville will reach similar highs of 90°F.
