Tulsa is waking up to a foggy Sunday, but the low clouds will give way to a warm afternoon before a more serious storm threat arrives Monday. Temperatures will climb to 74 degrees today, making for a brief calm before the weather turns rough.
Patchy fog is expected to linger through about 9 a.m., with visibility reduced in spots and temperatures in the low 60s. The National Weather Service forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies for much of the day and a high of 74. Light southerly winds are expected. No watches or warnings are posted for the area at this time.
Monday Brings Stronger Storm Threat
Showers west of Highway 75 may occur during the morning and generally decrease toward midday, while the main system is favored to arrive in eastern Oklahoma late afternoon into early evening. The forecast calls for a 60% chance of precipitation during the day, with southerly wind gusts around 40 mph likely.
The latest outlook from the National Weather Service says the storm setup could bring damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, locally heavy rain and localized flash flooding. Monday night carries an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with gusts still reaching about 30 mph, so outdoor plans and evening travel may get complicated.
The earlier Halloween forecast had already flagged Monday as the unsettled day ahead, including a limited risk of severe storms, heavy rain and localized flooding. The Hoodline forecast reported those risks before the latest National Weather Service discussion reinforced them.
Cooler And Calmer Weather Follows
Storm chances ease Tuesday as a front moves through, bringing partly sunny skies, a high near 70 and west winds gusting up to 25 mph. Wednesday looks mostly sunny with a high near 68, followed by cooler nights in the upper 40s and low 50s.
A slight chance of showers returns Thursday afternoon, but Friday is expected to be sunny near 68 degrees. Saturday stays mild and mostly sunny, with a high around 70.
