TULSA, OKLA — Well above normal temperatures today with gusty south winds. Highs this afternoon returning to the upper 50s and lower 60s.
A few rain showers will be possible this afternoon and early evening, with the highest rain chances closer to the Oklahoma/Arkansas line. Rainfall amounts will remain light, generally under a tenth of an inch.
An Arctic front arrives tonight and into tomorrow morning. This will bring bitterly cold temperatures over the weekend and lasting into the first half of next week!
An upper-level system may bring a few snow flurries to the region Saturday night into Sunday morning with little to no accumulation.
Highs Sunday will be stuck in the 20s with lows into early next week in the low teens to perhaps even some single digits. Snow chances look low, but we will continue to monitor. Maybe another slim chance on Monday. MLK Day will be quite cold so be prepared to bundle up if you have any plans to be outside.
The bigger story will be the cold with highs remaining below freezing from Sunday through at least Tuesday. While this will not be record cold, it's good January shot of Arctic air! Wind chills in the single digits to perhaps even below zero look likely Sunday night into Monday morning, and again Monday night into Tuesday morning.
