OKLAHOMA — Saturday brought a frosty start for many parts of Oklahoma, with morning lows in the 30s. Another cold start is on the way for Sunday, with a Frost Advisory in effect from midnight to 9 a.m. across much of northeast and east-central Oklahoma. After the chilly morning, sunny skies will take over, with afternoon highs climbing close to 70 degrees.
Frost Advisory Covers Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma
The Frost Advisory covers a large part of northeast Oklahoma, including Tulsa, Bartlesville, Pawhuska, Pryor, Vinita, Miami, and Grove. Communities to the west, such as Ponca City, Pawnee, and Stillwater, are also included.
Lows are expected to drop back into the 30s for many of these areas by early Sunday morning. Clear skies and light winds overnight will allow temperatures to fall quickly, giving frost a good chance to form on grass, rooftops, and car windshields.
East-Central Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas Also Included
The advisory also stretches into east-central Oklahoma, covering Bristow, Stroud, Okmulgee, Okemah, Muskogee, and Tahlequah. Areas farther south toward Eufaula, Sallisaw, and Stigler sit near the southern edge of the advisory area.
Across the state line, Fayetteville and much of northwest Arkansas are also under a Frost Advisory. Additional frost advisories cover parts of southwest Missouri and western Oklahoma near Enid, while a small Freeze Warning is in place farther east in Missouri.
Southeast Oklahoma Stays Slightly Milder
Parts of southeast Oklahoma, including McAlester, Wilburton, and Poteau, are outside the main advisory area. Temperatures there should stay slightly warmer early Sunday, though patchy frost is still possible in low-lying spots…
