Tulsa, OK – Oklahoma’s late-summer stretch will feel more like mid-July than early September, with Tulsa facing rising heat through Tuesday. Drivers along I-44 and U.S. 75 should prepare for hot, dry afternoons and strong sun glare during evening commutes. Staying hydrated and limiting outdoor activity during peak heat remain critical.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, mostly sunny skies will dominate Monday and Tuesday with highs climbing into the mid-80s Tuesday before pushing near 90°F by Wednesday. Calm winds Monday night will give way to light south breezes Tuesday, offering little relief from the warmth.
Clear skies and light winds at night will keep roads dry and visibility high, though overnight lows will only dip into the 60s. By Thursday, temperatures are forecast to climb into the lower 90s, with little cloud cover to block the sun. Outdoor workers, children in after-school sports, and travelers should use extra caution to avoid heat exhaustion.
While the dry weather reduces storm threats, the pattern will extend Tulsa’s ongoing dry spell, leaving lawns and fields in need of water. Emergency officials urge residents to check on vulnerable neighbors as temperatures rise and to avoid leaving children or pets in vehicles, even briefly.
This stretch of fall heat is expected to hold through the weekend before a slight cool-down early next week. No rain chances are projected in the near term.
