Tulsa, Oklahoma – Today is Sunday, and scattered light rain showers continue across eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas overnight.
According to the US National Weather Service in Tulsa, activity remains mostly along and ahead of a cold front moving through the region. Showers are expected to persist through approximately 3 a.m. Sunday, particularly across southeastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas.
Forecasters say hourly rainfall rates will generally remain light, with totals reaching up to one-quarter inch (0.25 inches) in some locations. Precipitation is moving northeast at speeds up to 20 mph, affecting communities along Interstate 44, U.S. Highway 75 and U.S. Highway 69.
