Oklahoma wakes up under a heavy gray sky as traffic rolls along the Broken Arrow Expressway and cool air lingers across Tulsa. It’s 42 degrees late this morning at Tulsa International Airport, and low clouds are keeping the day subdued.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, highs reach just 57 degrees today under mostly cloudy skies. North winds shift light northeast by afternoon. Roads remain dry for now, but the air feels damp and brisk compared to what’s ahead.
Clouds continue tonight with a 20% chance of showers developing after midnight. Lows settle near 52 degrees. Any spotty rain should stay light, yet drivers may notice slick patches toward daybreak Tuesday.
Tuesday flips the script. Skies turn partly sunny, and temperatures surge to 80 degrees. South winds increase to 15 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph by afternoon. That warmth signals a stronger system organizing across the Plains.
Showers become likely Tuesday night, with rain chances rising to 60% after 9 p.m. Thunderstorms could develop between 9 p.m. and midnight. By Wednesday, rain chances climb to 70% with highs near 70 degrees. Showers likely continue Wednesday night.
Thursday keeps unsettled weather in play, with a 40% chance of showers during the day and a 50% storm chance Thursday night. Friday holds near 75 degrees with additional rain likely.
This is a classic March transition. We gain nearly 70 minutes of daylight this month, and clocks spring ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday. Early 6–10 day trends point to above-normal temperatures returning after this midweek system.
