Tulsa, OK – Storms are expected to sweep into Tulsa today, bringing the potential for severe weather that could continue through Monday. Residents should prepare for strong winds, heavy rain, and the possibility of large hail as the weather system moves across the region.
According to the National Weather Service, the storms will intensify by mid-afternoon, with a 70% chance of precipitation tonight. Areas around Fort Smith and Fayetteville are also at risk for severe weather. Hail up to the size of golf balls and damaging winds exceeding 60 mph are possible, particularly in eastern Oklahoma. Drivers should exercise caution, especially along I-44 and U.S. Route 75, where visibility may be reduced, and flash flooding is possible in low-lying areas.
Monday will bring cooler temperatures, with highs dropping to the mid-70s as the storm threat diminishes. Though severe conditions are expected to subside, rain showers may persist into Tuesday, and the region will see a gradual return to sunny weather by midweek.
