Tulsa, OK – Headlights cut through a thick, silvery haze as eastern Oklahoma wakes up under a blanket of dense fog this morning. The quiet hum of traffic moves slower than usual, and streetlights blur into glowing halos — a clear sign to use extra caution if you’re on the road.
The National Weather Service in Tulsa has issued a Dense Fog Advisory until 11 AM CST, warning of visibility reduced to less than a quarter mile across eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. Drivers on I-44, Highway 75, and local routes through Tulsa, Broken Arrow, and Owasso should expect limited visibility through midmorning.
Meteorologists say conditions will slowly improve by late morning as the fog lifts and sunshine breaks through. Temperatures will rebound quickly, reaching 52°F by afternoon with calm south winds. Saturday night stays mild near 35°F, setting up a quiet, sunny Sunday.
By Monday, a weak cold front brings a brief cool-down with highs near 46°F before another warming trend returns midweek. Long-range models (Dec. 11–17) hint at a more unsettled pattern across the central Plains — possibly introducing the first strong cold snap of December for the southern Midwest.
5-Day Outlook:
- Saturday: Dense fog early, mostly sunny, high 52°F, low 35°F.
- Sunday: Mostly sunny, high 42°F, low 24°F.
- Monday: Sunny, high 46°F, low 32°F.
- Tuesday: Sunny, high 59°F, low 44°F.
