What burning questions do you need answered?

The update is lots of wind will be moving in overnight pushing through a cold front for the weekend. Be aware of lawn furniture and Halloween decor!

Rain won't completely end, but showers and pockets of rain will become less through early afternoon. Expect the showers and an occasional thunderstorm to redevelop later this afternoon (after 5 pm) as a cold front pushes into the area. The weather risk will be low with this activity, however an isolated thunderstorm or heavy downpour will remain possible.

15/10/2026

Cooler temps will move in behind this front. Be prepared.

A complex of storms over SW OK and western north TX is expected to move east to northeast across the region overnight. Damaging winds will be the primary threat with this activity.

13/10/2026

Timing of incoming storms pushes back tomorrow around 12:00 PM and will continue through tomorrow evening. Heat and moisture are building today (just go outside) which raises our likelihood to see severe storms to slight. Expect much cooler temps after the storms push through. This weekend will be much cooler.

Thunderstorms are forecast Wednesday through Wednesday night. A few strong to severe storms are possible primarily during the afternoon and evening hours.

Happy Monday Wagoner County! Expect warm temps today (90) and tomorrow (89) with storm chances returning Tuesday night. Here's a look at the incoming weather this week provided by our friends at the US National Weather Service Tulsa Oklahoma. Check your plans for Wednesday and Thursday as these look most likely for the most rain. Have a great week! Fall Break begins for most this weekend with temps in the mid-upper 60s!

Burn Ban Update: Although Wagoner County is no longer under a burn ban, please use extreme caution and consider waiting for more rain to burn. Fires spread quickly and today multiple fire departments and the sheriff’s office had to dedicate responders to attack a controlled burn.

🔥 Today at 3:22 PM, Tullahassee Fire Dept., Porter Fire Department, RED BIRD FIRE Department, along with Wagoner County Sheriff's Office, responded to an out-of-control grass fired in the area of 37200 block of E. 211th Street. The fire began as a “controlled burn” however, due to the dry conditions and wind, the fire burned out of control requiring a response.

Please use extreme caution if you absolutely have to burn outside.
