TULSA, Okla. — The National Weather Service Office in Tulsa is predicting life-threatening cold this week.
The National Weather Service says an Arctic cold front arrives Tuesday and will usher in the coldest weather we’ve seen this winter.
Very dangerous wind chills are expected Tuesday night through Thursday morning, according to NWS. They say precautions must be taken to prepare for the cold for people, pets, and any exposed pipes.
