Tulsa wakes to freezing air and gray skies this morning, the city’s first full taste of early-winter chill as thermometers sit near 32°F. Breath hangs in the still air, and the morning commute feels brisk but manageable with dry roads and light northwest winds.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, clouds will thin through late morning, giving way to sunshine and highs near 46°F. Winds stay calm before shifting south this evening, marking the start of a steady midweek warm-up that will push highs into the low 60s by Tuesday afternoon.
“Clear, dry conditions will dominate much of the week,” meteorologists said, though frosty mornings will persist as lows hover in the 30s and low 40s through Thursday. The quiet pattern offers a brief break from recent cold fronts sweeping the Plains, giving residents a stretch ideal for holiday decorating, errands, or light travel.
By Friday, temperatures dip again, with highs slipping back to the mid-40s as another weak system brushes the southern Plains. Long-range models show colder air returning by the weekend, hinting at the next winter surge for mid-December across the Midwest and Great Lakes.
