WEATHER ALERT
Issue Date: 535 PM CDT Thu Mar 12 2026
This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as much of Eastern Oklahoma.
DAY ONE
Today and Tonight. SIGNIFICANT WINDS. RISK
Limited. AREA
Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. ONSET
Ongoing. FIRE WEATHER DANGER. RISK
Elevated. AREA
Along and West of a Line From Okemah to Tulsa to Vinita. ONSET
Ongoing. DISCUSSION
South to southwest winds will continue into this evening mainly across much of the area, with gusts around 30 mph likely through around sunset. The gusty winds with humidity values in the 15 to 25 percent range will continue to favor the rapid spread of wildfires. The worst conditions will occur across parts of Osage and Pawnee counties, where a Red Flag Warning remains in effect until 8 pm. Conditions will be slow to improve this evening as humidity eventually rises above 50 percent in most areas and wind speeds decrease. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT
Spotter Activation Not Expected.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
Friday through Wednesday. FRIDAY
No Hazards. SATURDAY
High Wind Potential. SUNDAY
Thunderstorm
Winter Weather
Very High Fire Weather and High Wind Potential. MONDAY
High Wind Potential. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
No Hazards. EXTENDED DISCUSSION
Gusty southerly winds are expected Saturday and Saturday night ahead of a strong storm system and cold front. Moisture return will keep humidities higher, limiting the fire weather threat. A potent storm system and associated strong cold front are expected to slide across the region Sunday. Moisture return ahead of and lift with the front are expected to bring a narrow band of storms early Sunday afternoon across far eastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas. There is a limited risk of severe weather with these storms as they march quickly east, with damaging winds the main threat. Behind the strong cold front, north to northwest winds will ramp up quickly and will become very gusty. Current indications are that widespread 40 to 50 mph wind gusts can be expected across the region. The strong winds will combine dropping humidity to yield conditions conducive to elevated fire spread, despite the fact that colder temperatures will be moving into the region. A band of light precipitation behind the front may bring a rain- snow mix to northwest Arkansas Sunday evening. Some light snow accumulation is possible but significant impacts are not expected at this time. Gusty northwest winds are expected on Monday on the back side of the departing storm system, which could create wind chill values in the teens early Monday morning. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information.
