Tulsa, Oklahoma – Summer weather settles into eastern Oklahoma this week with heat building Tuesday, but don’t let your guard down — storms are close behind.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, Tuesday, June 10, will be hot and dry, with a high near 89°F and sunny skies. But beginning Wednesday evening, a renewed risk of thunderstorms and heavy rainfall threatens to disrupt travel, especially along U.S. Route 64 and through eastern counties like Muskogee and Adair.
Thunderstorm potential increases significantly from Wednesday through Saturday. The heaviest rainfall could trigger flash flooding in low-lying or poorly drained areas, though total amounts remain uncertain. Emergency officials are urging residents to stay weather-aware later this week and avoid driving across flooded roads. The Regional Spotter Network is expected to activate again as conditions worsen.
Here’s the extended five-day forecast for Tulsa and surrounding areas:
- Monday (Today): Mostly sunny, high near 86°F.
