TULSA, Okla. — Expect another cold night with many spots recording a light freeze into Tuesday morning. You may want to cover any tender vegetation tonight.

Despite the cold start Tuesday morning, a quick and big warm-up will occur into Tuesday afternoon. Temperatures will soar into the low/mid 70s with a strong southwest breeze at 15-25 mph. A few gusts of 35 mph will be possible. Comfortable day with lots of sunshine but be mindful of what will be a very high fire danger. Outdoor burning is discouraged.

We’ll keep the warmth around on Wednesday with a chance a few isolated showers and storms develop Wednesday afternoon and evening. The chance for a few showers and storms will continue Wednesday night into Thursday morning, then gradually moving out Thursday afternoon and evening. Overall severe threat looks very low.

There are differences on how cool temperatures will be behind Thursday’s system and into the weekend. Our current forecast keeps highs in the 60s. Another storm system will bring an increasing chance for rain and thunder by Sunday PM into Monday.

Have a fun and safe Spring Break!
