  • Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Tuesday, February 18, 2025.

    We're starting off with breaking news on the winter storm that's hitting Green Country today. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch until February 19 at 6 a.m. and an Extreme Cold Watch from 6 p.m. today until Thursday at noon. MetroLink Tulsa is offering free fares and a warming station at the Denver Avenue Station to ensure safe travel during these extreme weather conditions[1].

    City crews are preparing brine trucks to treat elevated surfaces overnight to prevent snowmelt from freezing. The City of Tulsa is responsible for clearing snow and ice from all arterial streets, but not from most major highways that pass through. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation handles those[1].

    In other news, local schools are taking precautions due to the weather. You can find the latest school closures by visiting our website. Additionally, warming shelters are available for those in need, and we have resources on how to help those affected by the winter weather[1].

    On the job market front, there are no major announcements today, but we'll keep you updated on any significant changes. In real estate, the cold weather might slow down some outdoor activities, but it's a good time to explore indoor listings. We recommend checking local listings for updates on open houses and new properties.

    Culturally, Tulsa is always vibrant, and despite the cold, there are plenty of indoor events to enjoy. However, due to the weather, some outdoor events might be postponed or canceled. We'll keep you updated on any changes to the community event calendar.

    In sports, local school teams are gearing up for their next matches, but some games might be rescheduled due to the weather. We'll bring you the latest sports updates as they happen.

    In community news, a feel-good story comes from the Cherokee Nation, which has announced a $16 million plan to boost cancer care access for its citizens and nearby areas. This initiative aims to improve healthcare services in the region[3].

    On the crime front, Tulsa police are seeking help identifying a suspect in a vehicle burglary near 61st and MLK Jr. Blvd. If you have any information, please contact the authorities[3].

    Finally, a quick look at the weather: today, we're expecting moderate to heavy snow showers with temperatures ranging from 1°F to -8°F. The snowfall is expected to be around 7.2 inches, so please plan your day accordingly and stay safe on the roads[2].

    This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
