TULSA, Okla. -

Tulsa is starting the day in the upper 30s and lower 40s, with temperatures expected to warm into the 60s this afternoon.

Winds will remain calm, creating ideal outdoor conditions, and even warmer weather is expected tomorrow with highs reaching the 70s.

The warmer temperatures, combined with gusty winds and dry conditions, will increase fire weather risks, particularly on Tuesday.

A brief break from fire risks is expected Wednesday as humidity levels rise again.

Looking ahead, temperatures will stay above normal throughout the week, peaking at 78 degrees on Thursday.

Early Next Week Weather

Early next week, another powerful storm system will develop to the west. Before it arrives, gusty south winds will prevail on Monday and especially Tuesday.

Morning lows on Monday will be in the mid-40s, with daytime highs in the mid to upper 70s.

7-day temperature timeline

Stronger south winds on Tuesday will bring morning lows in the 50s, with highs again reaching the mid to upper 70s.

Fire spread rates will remain elevated both days, particularly near and west of the Tulsa Metro.

Midweek Storm Potential

As a strong storm system approaches the area on Wednesday, there may be enough low-level moisture near and east of Oklahoma to support strong to severe thunderstorms.

A few storms could develop late Wednesday morning or afternoon, mainly along and east of Highway 69. If storms do form, some could be severe as they move into Arkansas. The probability of thunderstorms with this system currently remains near 20%.

Another strong upper-level storm system is likely to impact the area late next week.
