A frosty calm covers Tulsa this morning as December’s chill settles across Green Country. Car roofs sparkle with a thin glaze of ice, and the air feels crisp enough to sting. Frost will be common before sunrise, marking one of the coldest starts of the week before a gradual warm-up begins.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, clear skies overnight allowed temperatures to drop to around 29°F early this morning. Winds remain calm, helping frost form on windshields, lawns, and elevated surfaces. Drivers should plan for a few extra minutes to scrape windows or defrost vehicles before heading out.
The region warms slightly today under bright sunshine, reaching highs near 48°F. A light south breeze returns tonight, holding lows around 32°F and signaling the start of a brief warming trend. Wednesday will feel noticeably more comfortable, with afternoon highs near 50°F before clouds increase late in the day.
Meteorologists note that another weak front is expected late Thursday, bringing a quick temperature dip into the mid-30s for highs before rebounding into the upper 40s again by Friday. Dry conditions persist through the weekend — good news for those finishing outdoor projects or putting up early holiday decorations.
Still, early mornings will stay cold enough for frost formation across the Tulsa metro and surrounding counties through at least Thursday. Cover plants and watch for slick spots on shaded roads and bridges.
