Tulsa, OK – A brief round of wintry weather could brush parts of northeast Oklahoma early Sunday, with snow possible near Tulsa before 7 a.m.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, a final piece of a storm system will move through the region overnight Saturday into Sunday morning. Rain may transition to snow just before dawn, especially north and east of Interstate 44. While most areas are expected to see little to no accumulation, isolated pockets could receive up to 1 inch of snow.
The chance for minor impacts remains low—between 10 to 20 percent—due to warm surface temperatures and limited precipitation. Areas like Bartlesville, Vinita, and Stillwater may briefly see snowflakes, but road impacts are not anticipated.
Forecasters emphasize this is not a significant winter event, but residents in higher elevations or rural routes should remain alert to slick spots during early morning travel.
This potential snowfall is unusual for early April in Oklahoma, though not unprecedented. Normal highs in Tulsa this time of year hover in the mid-60s, making any snow short-lived.
Drivers are encouraged to monitor local forecasts, especially if traveling early Sunday. Any snow should quickly melt by mid-morning as temperatures rise above freezing.
