Oklahoma – Darkening skies and rising winds are already signaling a fast-changing setup across northeast Oklahoma, where showers will quickly turn into widespread thunderstorms capable of soaking roads and slowing travel by late afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, showers and thunderstorms will develop after mid-afternoon, with rain chances climbing to 90% and locally heavy rainfall possible through the evening. Winds could gust up to 30 mph, and some storms may produce between 1 and 2 inches of rain in stronger cells.
Across Tulsa and along I-44 and U.S. 75, drivers should prepare for rapidly deteriorating conditions. Wet pavement and reduced visibility will create sudden slowdowns, especially during heavier downpours. Plan extra time and avoid flooded roadways.
Conditions remain active into Saturday morning, though rain coverage begins to taper. By Saturday afternoon, scattered showers linger with cooler air settling in, dropping highs into the mid-60s.
Behind the system, a noticeable shift arrives Sunday. Sunshine returns with highs near 70°F, offering a calm and more comfortable end to the weekend. Winds ease, and humidity drops.
Early next week continues the quieter trend. Monday and Tuesday bring mostly sunny skies with highs climbing into the low 70s. This warming pattern hints at a stronger push toward spring across Oklahoma.
