Tulsa, Okla. – Drivers across eastern Oklahoma could face hazardous travel this Monday morning as patchy fog lingers, creating poor visibility along I-44 and rural highways. Conditions should improve later today, but drivers are urged to slow down, use headlights, and allow extra time for commutes.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, reduced visibility will affect far eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas through early Monday, especially in low-lying valleys and near waterways. The agency advises caution for motorists, particularly during early travel hours. Spotter activation is not expected, but updates will continue if conditions worsen.
By Tuesday, skies will gradually clear across Tulsa, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith, with temperatures climbing into the mid-80s. High pressure builds by Wednesday, ushering in the start of October with dry, sunny days and seasonably warm afternoons. Winds remain light, limiting dust and fire danger for now.
The extended outlook shows a run of dry weather through Saturday, with daytime highs between 85 and 88 degrees and overnight lows in the low to mid-60s. Although a slight chance of showers may develop late in the week across western Arkansas, the overall rain potential remains very low.
Residents should enjoy the stretch of early fall sunshine but remain alert during morning commutes today and Tuesday when visibility could still drop unexpectedly.
