Tulsa, Okla. – Drivers in eastern Oklahoma will sweat through one more stretch of summer heat Monday before storm chances threaten midweek travel. Highs in Tulsa will reach the low 90s, leaving neighborhoods hot and humid. Commuters along I-44 should prepare for sudden downpours and reduced visibility as storms develop Wednesday night into Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, Monday stays mostly sunny with a high near 93 degrees. Winds will remain light but shift southerly by afternoon. Tuesday brings similar warmth with highs near 92, followed by increasing clouds by evening. By Wednesday, conditions change. Forecasters warn of a 30 to 50 percent chance of thunderstorms through the day and into the night.
Localized heavy rain could create ponding on streets in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, and Owasso. Drivers are urged to slow down, avoid flooded intersections, and allow extra time for commutes. Outdoor events may face interruptions Wednesday evening, and residents should secure loose items ahead of gusty winds.
Relief arrives late week with highs in the mid-80s and cooler mornings. Scattered showers may linger Thursday, tapering into Friday. By Saturday, Tulsa finally sees a taste of early fall with more comfortable air and drier skies.
Warnings could expand if storms strengthen midweek. Residents should monitor local alerts and keep devices charged for weather updates.
