Oklahoma greets the morning with crisp air and a steady breeze that rattles dry leaves across parking lots and sidewalks. Flags snap sharply, and the wind carries a colder edge, signaling a fast-moving pattern that brings impacts today before settling into a quieter but colder weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, strong north winds remain the primary concern through today, with gusty conditions lingering into tonight. While recent rains lowered fire danger somewhat, warm, dry, and breezy conditions may still allow pockets of elevated fire weather risk through the afternoon. Drivers on U.S. 75, U.S. 169, and the Creek Turnpike could notice sudden crosswinds, especially in open areas.
Skies stay mostly sunny, helping temperatures climb into the mid-50s. That warmth fades quickly after sunset. Winds ease but don’t fully relax, allowing colder air to settle in. By Saturday morning, lows drop into the mid-30s, and the air feels brisk even under clear skies.
Saturday and Sunday bring calmer weather and plenty of sunshine. Highs hover in the upper 40s to near 50, but nights turn sharply colder. By Sunday night, temperatures fall to near freezing across Tulsa and surrounding communities. Any moisture left on roads or bridges could freeze early Monday, creating isolated slick spots.
Plan outdoor activities for midday warmth and dress in layers. Secure lightweight items today, and use caution with outdoor burning. Meteorologists expect dry weather to hold into early next week, though winds may increase again by midweek.
