TULSA, Okla. – A damp, misty stillness covers eastern Oklahoma this Sunday morning, with headlights cutting through patches of fog that cling to low fields and roadways. It’s a calm start — but forecasters warn this quiet will fade quickly as a stronger system approaches from the west early this week.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, showers and isolated thunderstorms will persist through today before tapering off tonight. Fog may thicken late, reducing visibility for Monday’s early commute, particularly along I-44, U.S. 412, and secondary rural routes in Rogers and Wagoner Counties. Drivers should allow extra travel time and keep headlights on low beam in dense fog.
Monday brings partial sunshine and a mild high near the mid-60s, but that break won’t last. A developing front from the Plains will sweep into Oklahoma late Monday night into Tuesday, triggering another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some storms could bring brief downpours, gusty winds near 30 mph, and lightning before the system exits Tuesday night.
Behind the front, cooler, drier air rushes in by Wednesday, with highs falling back into the 50s under bright skies. Gusty northwest winds up to 35 mph will make it feel brisk — a clear signal that fall’s stronger chill is settling in.
The outlook for Halloween Friday is favorable: crisp, calm, and dry across Green Country with evening temperatures in the 50s. After a soggy start to the week, it’ll be perfect weather for trick-or-treating or bonfire gatherings.
Still, forecasters hint at a chilly November ahead, with a sharper drop in temperatures possible by the first weekend of the new month.
