NWS Forecast Office Tulsa, OK

South winds are expected to increase after midnight tonight ahead of a strong cold front, with gusts to 45 mph possible. Then, after the front passes, winds shift to the northwest with gusts to 55 mph expected. Winds will begin to subside some late Sunday night into Monday morning.

Gusty northwesterly winds will develop behind a cold front Sunday. Widespread gusts of 40 to 60 mph are likely across the area which will blow around loose objects and make travel difficult on east-west roadways.

Widespread cold temperatures will spread in behind a cold front Sunday night into early next week. Low temperatures in the low to mid 20s will be common by Monday morning with wind chill values in the single digits for some locations. Widespread freezing temps will continue into Tuesday morning as well. If you have begun planting sensitive vegetation, make plans to protect those plants early next week.

Another warm day is in store for Saturday before a strong cold front brings a chance of storms on Sunday morning into the afternoon for some with elevated fire weather concerns behind the front thanks to strong northerly winds. Many locations will see freezing temperatures Monday and Tuesday morning.
