Cloudy conditions were expected to continue into early Monday, but the calm will not last. Showers may arrive late this morning before thunderstorms build through the afternoon and become more likely into the evening.
Storms Strengthen Through Monday Afternoon
Rain chances increase through Monday afternoon, with a high near 78 degrees and south winds of 15 to 20 mph.
Wind gusts could reach 40 mph during the day, while the National Weather Service Tulsa office says the stronger storms may bring damaging winds and a leading-edge tornado threat. No watches or warnings were posted for the Tulsa area in the latest forecast, but residents should keep multiple ways to receive alerts as the storm threat evolves.
Heavy Rain Threat Continues Monday Night
An earlier forecast called for an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms Monday night. Faster-moving storms may limit flooding in some areas, but repeated downpours could still create localized flooding, especially in low-lying spots and areas that see multiple rounds of storms.
The latest update is a more serious version of the storm setup outlined in Hoodline’s Sunday forecast, which first flagged the risk of severe weather and heavy rain. The National Weather Service’s Tulsa severe-weather page remains the place to check for watches, warnings and updated safety information.
Calmer Weather Arrives Tuesday
The storm system should move east early Tuesday, leaving Tulsa partly sunny with a high near 70 degrees. West winds will gust up to 25 mph before mostly clear skies and cooler temperatures settle in Tuesday night.
Wednesday looks like the quietest day of the week, with sunshine and a high near 70. A slight chance of showers returns Thursday afternoon, while Friday is expected to stay mostly sunny with a high near 68 and Saturday with a high around 70.
