Tulsa, OK – The early morning air feels brisk across eastern Oklahoma as gusty southwest winds sweep across fields and open plains. By midday, sunshine breaks through the thin cloud cover, pushing highs into the upper 50s and low 60s — an unseasonably mild start for early December.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, today brings sunny skies and a steady northwest breeze up to 25 mph. While the gusts ease later in the day, they’ll keep a dry, crisp feel in the air. Fire danger will remain limited through sunset as temperatures hold in the 50s and humidity stays low.
Through the rest of the week, residents can expect clear, calm, and mild conditions before a stronger cold front arrives late Friday into Saturday. Highs will drop into the 40s by the weekend, with lows plunging into the mid-20s by Sunday morning — a clear sign that winter air is edging into the region.
Meteorologists say this pattern shift marks the start of a broader December cooldown expected to sweep across much of the Plains and Midwest by midmonth. Drivers planning early holiday trips should prepare for cooler mornings and potential frost inland by next week.
5-Day Outlook (Dec 10–Dec 14):
- Today (Wed): Sunny, high 54°F, gusts up to 25 mph.
