Oklahoma — Dawn breaks over Tulsa with a crisp, glassy stillness, and the air hangs cold enough to sting. Pavement looks dry at first glance, yet subtle frost may cling to bridges and shaded intersections as temperatures hover near freezing. Light fog pockets could drift across open fields west of the city, and drivers should expect rapid visibility changes through the early commute.
Meteorologists note improving sunshine later today as winds shift southerly. That warming trend helps reduce frost potential, but drivers should still slow on I-244, Highway 75, and local feeder roads where cold surfaces meet lingering moisture. After all, early December often brings these tricky freeze-and-thaw cycles that catch travelers off guard.
Skies turn bright by midday with highs near the upper 40s and a calm but cool breeze. Clouds build again tonight as slightly milder air arrives. Patchy fog forms after 4 a.m., especially north and west of Tulsa. Use low-beam headlights and give extra room in traffic if fog thickens toward sunrise.
Saturday brings more change. Areas of dense morning fog may linger before sunshine breaks through. Temperatures climb into the lower 50s under a light southwest wind, creating a mild window for holiday decorating, leaf cleanup, or early-season travel across northeastern Oklahoma.
Sunday steadies out with mostly cloudy skies and a high in the lower 40s. Winds turn north during the afternoon, signaling a cooler push behind the passing system. No snow is expected here, but longer-range models continue to hint at increasing winter activity across the Midwest between December 11–17, something Tulsa travelers should keep in mind for regional flights or road trips.
