Tulsa, OK — A powerful cold front has swept through Oklahoma, driving wind chills into the teens and creating frost hazards Thursday morning. Residents across northeast Oklahoma, especially near the I-40 corridor, should bundle up and limit outdoor exposure. Gusty winds of up to 25 mph will amplify the cold, creating hazardous travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, breezy northerly winds will persist throughout the day, keeping temperatures near 38°F but making it feel much colder. Thursday night, lows will dip into the 20s, with clear skies providing little relief from the freezing conditions.
Looking ahead, Friday brings some improvement with sunny skies and highs reaching 48°F, but another system is on the horizon. Weekend rain chances return Saturday evening, particularly in southeastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. Travelers along US-69 and US-75 should monitor updates, as showers may impact visibility and driving conditions.
By Sunday, rain becomes widespread, with highs climbing to 58°F. Winds from the south at 10-15 mph may intensify, causing gusty conditions before another cold front arrives early next week.
Residents are encouraged to dress warmly, avoid prolonged exposure to the cold, and secure outdoor items to prevent wind damage. For weekend plans, consider adjusting outdoor activities to avoid rain or strong winds.
