Oklahoma – Cold air settles low across eastern Oklahoma as the morning begins with frosted grass and stiff pavement. The air feels sharp and dry. Windshields scrape easily, and shaded sidewalks stay slick longer than expected.
In Tulsa, temperatures hover near 20 degrees early, with wind chills in the teens. The National Weather Service notes cold conditions continuing through tonight, with only limited hazards expected. A few spots could see light snow this evening or tonight, though no accumulation is anticipated.
Road conditions remain mostly dry, but drivers should watch bridges and overpasses during the early commute. Any leftover moisture can freeze quickly, especially before mid-morning. Calm winds help, but the cold is persistent enough to keep slick spots possible.
The pattern shifts fast. Sunshine dominates today, pushing highs toward the upper 40s by afternoon. That warmth melts frost and dries roads, reducing travel concerns later today. Tonight turns mostly clear again, with lows falling back near the upper 20s.
A noticeable warmup arrives Monday. Tulsa climbs into the upper 50s under mostly sunny skies, making it feel more like early spring than February. Tuesday stays mild, with highs near 50 and only a slight chance of showers nearby. Most of the week remains dry, with temperatures gradually moderating.
By midweek, highs settle in the upper 40s, followed by another warm push late week. National outlooks suggest above-normal temperatures building across much of the central U.S., while colder air retreats east. The Great Lakes remain heavily frozen, but that influence weakens here as southerly flow returns.
Dress warmly this morning, allow extra time early if driving, and enjoy the milder afternoons ahead. Weather conditions improve quickly once the sun gets higher.
