Oklahoma – Fog curls along low spots and river valleys early, dulling headlights and softening skylines across the region. Visibility drops quickly in pockets, especially north and west of I-44, making the morning drive uneven and slower than normal.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, patchy fog continues through the early hours before clearing after sunrise. Once the fog lifts, temperatures surge fast. Afternoon highs approach 79 degrees, placing today well above February averages and setting the stage for rapid drying.
The warm air combines with southerly winds gusting near 20 mph and humidity falling toward 30 percent. That mix raises a limited but notable fire weather risk this afternoon, especially across eastern Oklahoma north and west of I-44. Grass and brush fires could spread quickly under these conditions.
Clouds increase tonight as winds remain breezy. Tuesday stays warm, though cooler than today, with highs near 69. A cold front shifts winds north by afternoon, bringing slightly cooler air and a small chance of showers Tuesday night. Roads may turn slick late, though rainfall amounts appear light.
Wednesday offers a brief break. Sunshine returns, highs reach the low 60s, and winds ease. That calm does not last long. By Thursday night into Friday, a stronger system approaches. Showers become more widespread, with thunderstorms possible and locally heavy rain developing into Friday night.
Emergency managers are not expecting spotter activation today, but residents should stay weather-aware as conditions evolve through midweek. Avoid burning outdoors this afternoon, secure loose items in gusty winds, and slow down in fog early.
Looking into early next week, longer-range outlooks suggest temperatures remain above normal, signaling a continued late-winter warm pattern across Oklahoma.
