Tulsa is waking up to broken mid-level cloud cover Wednesday, with clouds scattering by midday, temperatures in the mid-60s early and a partly cloudy-to-mostly-sunny climb toward 82 degrees by afternoon. South winds will run 10 to 15 mph and occasionally gust to 25 mph, making it breezy even as the city gets a late-October warm spell.
Sunny Wednesday, Even Warmer Thursday
Thursday should be mostly sunny and warmer, topping out near 85 degrees after a low around 62. The National Weather Service in Tulsa expects dry weather to hold through Thursday, with no active watches or warnings for the area.
Wednesday’s dry conditions and stronger south wind could support limited grass-fire spread, particularly north of Interstate 40, although conditions are expected to remain below critical fire-weather levels. Outdoor workers and anyone handling open flames should take the gusts seriously despite the comfortable temperatures.
Rain Chances Rise For Halloween Weekend
Friday turns cloudier, with showers possible after 1 p.m. and a high near 74. Rain chances increase Friday night to 30%, setting up a wetter Saturday.
Showers are likely Saturday, Halloween, with a 60% chance of rain and a high around 71 under mostly cloudy skies. Sunday brings a brief break with partly sunny skies and a high near 75, although another round of showers and thunderstorms may develop Sunday night.
The latest outlook updates Hoodline’s earlier Tulsa forecast by sharpening the wettest window around Friday night and Saturday while raising the potential for a stronger system early next week. For outdoor plans, Wednesday and Thursday are the cleanest bets; Halloween may need a backup plan, especially for evening activities.
Storm Chances Return Monday
Monday brings a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with south winds gusting up to 25 mph and a high near 74. Storm chances continue Monday night before cooler, more seasonable air arrives with another chance of showers Tuesday.
