Tulsa, OK – Residents across northeastern Oklahoma should brace for a significant temperature drop as a cold front moves into the region midweek. Lows will plunge to freezing or below starting tonight, creating potential hazards for drivers on U.S. 75 and surrounding roadways.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Tulsa, Tuesday night’s temperatures are expected to fall to 40°F, with clearer skies ushering in a brisk Wednesday morning. Highs on Wednesday will reach 56°F, but overnight lows will dip to 38°F. Officials urge residents to protect exposed pipes, check tire pressures, and ensure pets remain indoors as the chill sets in.
