Day 5 of Tulsa, OK (KTUL)

Mostly cloudy skies (though not quite overcast), with a mix of mid and high level clouds will hinder radiational cooling tonight, though there will be cooling from evaporational cooling due to scattered showers raining into initially very dry low-level air. Skies will remain mostly cloudy (though not quite overcast) tomorrow, with a mix of clouds at almost all levels. Scattered showers will likely continue through the day tomorrow, and combined with the clouds, will limit daytime heating, but not prevent it completely. It’s a tricky forecast all around with both high and low temperatures highly dependent on exactly how thick the clouds are. With a squall line passing to the south tonight, mostly robbing the moisture from the showers to the north over Tulsa, rainfall amounts are expected to be relatively light. Stiff northeasterly winds will dominate through the night and day tomorrow, but with brief periods of enhanced winds only high-resolution models really pick up on, due to wake lows or mesoscale gravity waves generated by the squall line and other convection to the southeast.
