Oklahoma Weather is turning volatile across Tulsa this morning, with dry air and strong winds creating explosive fire conditions by midday. West winds gust up to 35 mph, and humidity hovers low enough to spark rapid wildfire spread. Any flame could race across open fields near I-44 within minutes.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, a Red Flag Warning remains in effect until 8 p.m. as temperatures climb to near 70 degrees. West winds hold between 15 and 25 mph, with higher gusts. Dry grasses and dormant February vegetation increase the fire threat across Tulsa County and much of eastern Oklahoma.
Skies stay sunny and breezy through the afternoon. Residents should avoid outdoor burning and secure trailer chains that could spark along highways. Fire crews remain on alert as conditions stay critical into early evening.
Tonight turns mostly clear, with a sharp drop to 32 degrees as winds shift north. Friday cools to 55 under sunny skies. The air remains dry, though winds ease.
Saturday brings sunshine and a high near 52. Then colder air deepens. Sunday tops out near 53 before plunging to 26 by late night. That sets up a flash freeze risk early Monday if any damp spots linger on bridges or overpasses. Drivers along the Arkansas River crossings should use caution before sunrise.
Monday stays sunny with a high near 51. By Tuesday, temperatures rebound toward the mid-60s, and midweek readings approach the 70s again. Longer-range outlooks suggest above-normal warmth returning into late next week, signaling early spring vibes across Oklahoma.
