TULSA, Okla. -

A major winter storm will impact the Southern and Central Plains states, extending through the Ohio and Middle Tennessee valleys this weekend. Arctic air will plunge southward, moving across Oklahoma early Sunday morning.

Light snow showers are possible, mainly across northern Oklahoma and into southern Kansas. Some measurable snowfall may occur along the state line region northward into southern Kansas.

Any snow in the Tulsa metro area is currently expected to be insignificant.

What’s the Major Impact For Most of Oklahoma?

The more significant and widespread issue will be the arrival of very cold weather, continuing for several days next week. Sunday morning temperatures across eastern Oklahoma will range from the 40s to the 50s before falling below freezing by midday.

By late Sunday afternoon, most locations across the northern third of the state will be in the mid-20s. North winds at 20 to 40 mph will accompany this system, bringing plummeting wind chill values Sunday afternoon into Monday morning.

As the cold air becomes entrenched, sub-freezing temperatures are likely from Monday through at least Wednesday. By Thursday, the pattern should change, bringing daytime highs into the upper 30s and lower 40s.

Tracking Another Wave Nearby Late Next Week

In addition to Sunday's strong winter system, at least two additional disturbances will be near or south of the area from the middle to the end of next week. Snowfall potential will occur across Texas with both systems.

The first will arrive across southwest Texas Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, and the second, stronger system will arrive Thursday night into Friday across central Texas. This wave could produce some wintry precipitation impacting parts of southern Oklahoma.

Any additional northward shift in this wave could bring snow across a larger part of Oklahoma in the latter half of next week.

Today's Weather Overview

High temperatures today are expected to be in the lower to mid-40s across far northern Oklahoma and in the upper 40s near 50 across the southeastern third of the state.

A mix of clouds is likely, including the potential for some low clouds through the early to middle part of the morning. North winds will remain at 7 to 12 mph.

Saturday Weather Forecast

Saturday morning temperatures may briefly start near freezing but should rise to the mid-40s by early afternoon with south winds at 10 to 25 mph.

As the major system approaches, pockets of drizzle will develop on Saturday afternoon and evening. The threat of some freezing drizzle will exist across far southern Kansas by midday Saturday but should remain well north of most of our area.

By Saturday night and early Sunday morning, the upper-level low will draw closer to the region, and a strong surface low-pressure area will develop across northwestern Oklahoma.

As this low moves mostly eastward, showers will develop near and east of the feature through Sunday morning. Temperatures will climb into the upper 40s and lower 50s.

Temperatures Plummet Sunday

As the low moves eastward, colder air will filter in behind the system, with plummeting temperatures and strong north winds of 20 to 40 mph. Some precipitation may flip over to light snow across far northern Oklahoma and into parts of southern Kansas.

Slightly north of the Kansas state line region, more significant wintry weather impacts are likely. Winter storm watches and winter weather advisories are already posted for portions of Kansas along both sides of the I-70 corridor, extending well eastward into portions of Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

The threat of wintry precipitation will end by early Sunday afternoon, but colder weather will continue.

How Long Will the Deep Freeze Last?

Monday morning temperatures will start in the middle teens, but wind chill values will be in the single digits. Sunshine is likely Monday with north winds at 7 to 12 mph. Afternoon temperatures will remain in the upper 20s. Tuesday morning will start in the lower and middle teens.

The best internet service provider in Tulsa, Oklahoma is AT&T Fiber, thanks to its symmetric upload and download speeds on all plans. Plus, the plans are reasonably priced and offer a diverse range of options for every need.

If AT&T Fiber isn't available at your address, consider Cox. With reliably good service and fast speeds, Cox is a decent alternative. However, the slow upload speeds and complicated pricing policies might dissuade you.

Our team considers speeds, pricing, customer service and overall value to recommend the best internet service in Tulsa. Our evaluation includes referencing a proprietary database built over years of reviewing internet services. We validate that against provider information by spot-checking local addresses for service availability. We also do a close read of providers' terms and conditions and, when needed, will call ISPs to verify the details.

Our process has some limitations you should know about. Pricing and speed data are variable: Certain addresses may qualify for different tiers of service and monthly costs may vary, even within a city. The best way to identify your particular options is to plug your address into a provider's website.

Note that the prices, speed and other information listed above and in the provider cards below may differ from what we found in our research. The cards display the full range of a provider's pricing and speeds across the US, according to our database of plan information provided directly by ISPs, while the text is specific to what’s available in Tulsa. The prices referenced within this article’s text come from our research and include applicable discounts for setting up automatic payments -- a standard industry offering. Other discounts and promotions might also be available for things like committing to a contract or bundling with a cellphone plan.

Visit our full methodology page to understand how we review internet providers.

Top internet providers in Tulsa

While AT&T Fiber is the clear top choice in Tulsa, that doesn't mean there aren't other decent options available. About 47% of the city has access to fiber -- the gold standard in home internet -- and 99.8% can get at least 250 megabits per second download and 25Mbps upload speeds -- more than enough for a typical home’s streaming and internet usage. In other words, almost everyone in Tulsa will be able to find an internet plan that meets their needs.

Other available Tulsa residential internet providers

There’s a big step down from our top picks to most of the providers below, with the exception being Windstream’s Kinetic Fiber service. Consider these as the backup options if you can’t get service from AT&T Fiber, Cox or T-Mobile Home Internet.

Pricing info on Tulsa home internet service

Starting prices for internet in Tulsa average around $49 monthly. That’s on par with other cities CNET has covered -- Charlotte, Chicago, San Diego and St. Louis all have average starting prices around $50 per month.

How fast is Tulsa broadband?

Three internet providers in Tulsa offer gig speeds: AT&T Fiber, Cox and Kinetic by Windstream. You can even access AT&T’s ultra-fast 5,000Mbps fiber plans throughout much of the city -- enough bandwidth to stream Netflix in 4K on more than 300 TVs at once.

What’s the final word on internet providers in Tulsa?

There’s a clear winner when it comes to internet service in Tulsa. AT&T Fiber isn’t just the best internet you can get in the city -- it’s the best internet provider in the entire country. If you can’t get AT&T Fiber at your address, Cox is a worthy backup option, with fast download speeds and reasonable prices.

How CNET chose the best internet providers in Tulsa

Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike the latest smartphone, laptop, router or kitchen tool, it's impractical to personally test every internet service provider in a given city. So what's our approach? For starters, we tap into a proprietary database of pricing, availability and speed information that draws from our own historical ISP data, partner data and mapping information from the Federal Communications Commission at FCC.gov.

This guide leverages an in-house artificial intelligence tool called RAMP, which is trained on our own writing and uses our database to generate content about specific internet service providers that our writers can use in determining and presenting our picks for a given guide. Check CNET’s AI policy for more information about how our teams use (and don’t use) AI tools.

Because our database is not exhaustive, we go to the FCC’s website to check the primary data for ourselves and make sure we’re considering every ISP that provides service in an area. Plans and prices also vary by location, so we input local addresses on provider websites to find the specific options available to residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP's service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of the time of our pre-publication fact-check.

Once we have this localized information, we ask three main questions:

While the answer to those questions is often layered and complex, the providers who come closest to “yes” on all three are the ones we recommend. To explore our process in more depth, you can visit our How we test ISPs page.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced how state agencies are working to respond to severe winter weather impacting the state on Thursday.

The Oklahoma National Guard (OKNG), Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS), Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA), Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management (OEM) are actively mobilizing resources to protect public safety and maintain essential services as heavy snow and freezing temperatures continue to affect communities across the state, the announcement said.

"Oklahoma is prepared to tackle this winter storm head-on," said Governor Stitt. "Our state agencies and emergency responders are working around the clock to keep our highways clear, assist stranded motorists, and protect our communities. I urge Oklahomans to stay safe by avoiding unnecessary travel and check on their neighbors as the storm passes."

State Emergency Operations Center Coordination

According to the announcement, the State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is activated at Level 3 for increased readiness.

"OEM has boosted staffing levels at the State EOC and deployed personnel to heavily impacted areas, including Southeast Oklahoma," the announcement said. "The EOC remains in contact with local emergency managers and state and federal partners, ready to coordinate resource requests as conditions evolve."

Coordinated Response Teams

OEM has increased staffing in the field on Thursday and Friday, the announcement. Employees will be stationed in heavily impacted areas, including southeast Oklahoma, should support be needed or requested.

"The Governor has authorized the deployment of Oklahoma National Guard to join Stranded Motorist Recovery Teams in southeast Oklahoma," the announcement said. "These teams, operating from McAlester and Durant under the direction of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, consist of approximately 10 Guardsmen each, utilizing Humvees, wreckers, and Light Medium Tactical Vehicles. OKNG is collaborating with local first responders to aid stranded motorists and assist residents in the hardest hit areas."

Oklahoma Department of Energy

According to Stitt's announcement, the Oklahoma Department of Energy is continuing to monitor the state's power grid and is not aware of any widespread outages at this time.

"Oklahomans are encouraged to check with their local utility providers for more up-to-date information," the announcement said.

Road Clearing, Treatment, and Maintenance

ODOT crews are actively plowing and treating severely slick and hazardous roads across Oklahoma, the announcement said. Efforts are focused in southwest and southcentral regions of the state, including I-35.

As the storms progress, crews are also addressing slick spots on roads and overpasses across the state.

"Though highways, interstates, and overpasses are being plowed and treated, slick spots remain," the announcement said.

OTA crews are and treating major turnpikes, including the H.E. Bailey, Chickasaw, and Indian Nation turnpikes. They're addressing slick spots on the John Kilpatrick, Kickapoo, and Turner turnpikes.

Drivers are also urged to remain cautious of refreeze overnight, which causes black ice.

"Crews are working around the clock and will remain deployed until conditions are clear," Stitt said in the announcement.

TULSA, Okla. — Don't Stress Meowt cat café held its grand opening in Tulsa.

Don't Stress Meowt welcomes guest with a purrfect blend of coffee and cuddles.

"We are very serious about our coffee," said Adam Fitzpatrick, one of the co-owners of Don't Stress Meowt. "It's locally roasted and additionally, we make paninis and taiyaki. The cat lounge houses about 45 adorable cats. We source them through Skiatook Paws and Claws Animal Rescue."

The cafe's first location opened in Oklahoma City in 2023 after the co-owners were inspired by seeing cat cafés in Japan.

One cat lover, April Hayes, said she's been passionate about cat cafés for awhile, even going to ones in Japan.

"Every cat has their own unique personality and it's really nice to be able to see it shine somewhere like here and then being able to adopt them if you fall in love with them is perfect."

Fitzpatrick explained that a lot of their supporters at the Oklahoma City location are from Tulsa.

"We really appreciate them and for years they have driven an hour and a half to come visit us and we appreciate that. It's made a difference, the difference, for us, but three hours round trip. We just wanted to do better for them."

One of those supporters who used to drive back and forth is Sydney Whitfield. She moved to Tulsa from Oklahoma City in 2020 before Don't Stress Meowt was even open.

She said she's made trips back to Oklahoma City just to visit the cat café.

"I love cats. We love what they are doing, especially to bring it to Tulsa and it's really special, so we wanted to be here."

Whitfield said she loves seeing the cats find their forever home.

"There's a different one here almost every time, so you know that one I loved last time got a good home."

All cats in the café are adoptable through the Skiatook Paws and Claws Rescue.

Don't Stress Meowt is open from 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. on weekends and 7 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Mondays.

To go into the cat lounge, you must have a reservation. You can make a reservation by clicking here.
