TULSA, Oklahoma – A calm breeze and a soft sunrise mark a beautiful start across Green Country this morning. The crisp, golden air over the plains feels steady for now, but a late-week shift will bring the kind of temperature slide that reminds Oklahomans fall isn’t finished yet.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, the Mid-South region remains under dry, stable high pressure through Thursday. Afternoon highs will climb well into the upper 70s, flirting with 80 degrees in Tulsa and surrounding counties. Skies stay clear, and winds will strengthen slightly from the south, giving the area one more stretch of ideal outdoor weather for leaf cleanup, roadwork, and early holiday prep.
A weak cold front slides through Friday, delivering cooler air and a noticeable drop by the weekend. Highs Friday will stay near the mid-70s before falling back into the upper 60s Saturday and lower 60s Sunday. Winds may gust 20–25 mph at times behind the front, especially along I-44 and U.S. 412, but skies should remain dry through much of the transition.
The National Weather Service notes that another, stronger front could move through by late Saturday, sending morning lows near freezing in rural northeastern counties early next week. Frost or even the first light freeze of November looks possible by Monday, ending the growing season for any lingering gardens or late harvests.
Residents planning Veterans Day events can expect crisp, sunny weather — a fitting close to a week that begins warm and ends with a firm reminder that winter is waiting in the wings.
