Tulsa, Oklahoma Warms From 37° This Morning to Possible 70s and Near 80 Ahead as Long-Range Models Hint at Major Pattern Shift
OKLAHOMA — It’s 37 degrees right now in Tulsa, but long-range weather models are signaling a dramatic warm-up that could send temperatures well into the 70s — and possibly near 80 — in the coming stretch.
After weeks of overnight lows in the 30s, this latest trend suggests a notable shift toward a much warmer pattern across Oklahoma. While it is not yet an official forecast, the extended-range data is leaning strongly in a spring-like direction.
From Freezing Mornings to Potential 70s and 80s
Tulsa is starting the day in the upper 30s, a reminder that winter still has a grip on the region during the early morning hours. However, long-range guidance indicates multiple days ahead that could push far beyond typical February chill.
Model trends show:
- Several days climbing well into the 70s
- Some locations potentially nearing 80 degrees
- A sustained stretch of above-average warmth
That represents a sharp contrast from recent patterns dominated by cold overnight lows and winter-like conditions.
Is Spring Trying to Settle In?
The big question now is whether this is an early sign of spring attempting to take hold across Oklahoma — or simply a temporary warm surge before winter makes another appearance.
Climatology suggests winter is rarely finished this early. Historically, Oklahoma can still experience late-season Arctic blasts well into the closing weeks of winter. However, current long-range trends do not strongly indicate an immediate return to bitter cold.
It is important to note that long-range data can change. These projections are not a locked-in forecast but rather an early look at where the pattern may be heading.
A Possible Extended Warm Stretch
Based on today’s perspective, it appears increasingly difficult to see a major cold outbreak returning within at least the next few weeks. If the pattern holds, Tulsa and surrounding areas could enjoy a prolonged stretch of mild to warm conditions.
That would mark a significant turnaround from one of the colder mid-winter stretches residents have recently experienced. Still, forecasters caution that extended-range outlooks often evolve as new data becomes available. While the warmth looks promising, it’s too soon to declare winter officially over.
For now, Tulsa residents can watch the trends and prepare for a potentially dramatic shift from 30-degree mornings to spring-like afternoons. Stay with NapervilleLocal.com for continued updates as long-range patterns become clearer and forecasts sharpen in the days ahead.
