    2026/02/01
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, February 1. We kick off with exciting sports action as our Tulsa Golden Hurricane mens basketball team hosts rival Wichita State today at 1 p.m. right here at the Reynolds Center. Theyre riding a five-game winning streak with stars like Miles Barnstable and Tylen Riley lighting it up, aiming for their sixth straight win on ESPNU. Womens tennis faced a tough 7-0 sweep by No. 6 Oklahoma yesterday at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center, but our golfers showed grit at the Collegiate Invitational, tying for seventh at Guadalajara Country Club.

    Over at City Hall, officials approved a new traffic calming plan for Riverside Drive near 71st Street to ease daily commutes and boost pedestrian safety, directly impacting our neighborhoods. In real estate, median home prices hover around 285 thousand dollars, up about 4 percent from last year, while job postings in energy and healthcare top 12 hundred locally, signaling steady opportunities.

    New business buzz includes the grand opening of a craft brewery on Brooksides 41st Street, drawing crowds with fresh brews and live music this weekend. For Black History Month, we have 14 events lined up, from music showcases at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center to trivia nights at historic Greenwood spots, celebrating our rich heritage.

    Weather today brings mild temps in the low 50s with partly cloudy skies and light winds, perfect for outdoor plans, though bundle up for evenings dipping to 32 degrees. Outlook stays dry through Tuesday.

    Upcoming, catch the Greenwood Cultural Festival this Wednesday evening at the Dr. Robert D. Guthrie Center. Local schools shine too, with Booker T. Washington Highs debate team clinching regionals. On the crime front in the past 24 hours, Tulsa Police arrested two suspects after a non-injury robbery near Admiral Place and Yale Avenue; stay vigilant and report tips to 911.

    And a feel-good note, community volunteers restored the playground at Lacy Park in Midtown, giving kids a fresh space to play and bringing families together.

  • Tulsa Local Pulse: Business Owners Protest ICE, Arrests in Homicide, Tulsa Oilers and Women's Basketball Updates

    Tulsa Local Pulse: Business Owners Protest ICE, Arrests in Homicide, Tulsa Oilers and Women's Basketball Updates
    2026/01/31
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, January 31. We kick off with some solidarity in our community as local business owners join a national protest against ICE investments. At Community Craft and Meadow Market Books on Cherry Street, owners like Mary Perisho and Melodie Coulter closed for sales but opened doors for crafting and sign-making, turning shops into hubs for community organizing. Magic City Books donates twenty percent of proceeds through Sunday to the YWCA Immigrant and Refugee program, while Bend Mercantile downtown gives baristas time off to protest, creating safe spaces for us all.

    Shifting to public safety, Tulsa Police report two arrests in a twenty twenty-five homicide near fiftieth Street North and North Boulder Avenue. Detectives nabbed Darren Allen and Edward Lane for first-degree murder in the death of Marvin Arnett, with the investigation ongoing. We appreciate their work keeping our streets secure.

    On sports, our Tulsa Oilers grabbed a point in last night's two-to-one overtime loss to the Idaho Steelheads at the BOK Center, thanks to Tanner Faith's first pro goal. They face off again tonight at seven oh five. Women's basketball has Tulsa hosting Memphis at two this afternoon at the Donald W. Reynolds Center for Legends Day, riding a strong streak.

    City updates include Tulsa County securing eight million dollars to rebuild Garnett Road and tackle flooding, easing our daily commutes. After frigid weather shut some spots, new businesses like Meadow Market reschedule grand openings to February. Job market stays steady with lawmakers eyeing insurance relief and caregiver benefits amid state welfare reviews.

    Weather-wise, we shake off recent freezes with mild temps in the upper forties today, low wind, perfect for events. Expect partly cloudy skies turning cooler overnight.

    Upcoming, register now for free Tulsa Police motorcycle skills courses in March, and catch community engagements in February. Local schools note freshmen stars like Dora Toman leading Tulsa women's hoops.

    For a feel-good note, police joined the MLK parade in Greenwood despite the cold, marching with firefighters under the theme New Day, Same Dream.

  • Tulsa Council Eases Fire Rules for Home Daycares, Helping Fight Childcare Deserts

    Tulsa Council Eases Fire Rules for Home Daycares, Helping Fight Childcare Deserts
    2026/01/30
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, January 30.

    We kick off with breaking news from City Hall that directly touches our families. The Tulsa City Council just unanimously voted to ease fire suppression rules for home-based day cares serving up to twelve kids, scrapping the need for pricey commercial sprinklers that cost fourteen to eighteen thousand dollars. KTUL reports this aligns with state law and could help about two hundred fifty providers in East and North Tulsa stay open, fighting those childcare deserts where working parents struggle most. Councilor Laura Bellis says it keeps folks in the workforce, and we could not agree more. Mayor Monroe Nichols still needs to sign it, but this modernizes our support for everyday childcare.

    Schools stay open today despite the biting cold, as Tulsa Public Schools confirms classes run on schedule. Dress those kids warmly, and if you need help with coats, dial two-one-one for resources. The chill might slow morning commutes on Riverside Drive and the Broken Arrow Expressway, so bundle up for any outdoor plans. Expect partly cloudy skies with highs near thirty-two and lows dipping to twenty overnight, per local forecasts.

    In other updates, Colleen McCarty announced her run for Tulsa County DA against Steve Kunzweiler, pushing criminal justice tweaks like better survivor protections. No major crimes hit our radar in the last day, but stay vigilant around Utica Square after dark.

    Job market buzz includes House Dems eyeing a fifteen-dollar minimum wage push as session starts Monday. Real estate holds steady, with median home prices around two hundred eighty thousand. New business stays quiet, no big openings or closings.

    Quick school shoutout: Tulsa Public Schools pushes literacy with third-grade retention plans. Sports note: Local high teams gear up post-cold snap.

    Looking ahead, join community cleanups at River Parks this weekend. And a feel-good story: North Tulsa day care owners cheer the council vote, one telling Tulsa Flyer it saves their family legacy.

  • Tulsa's Downtown Growth, Childcare Boost, and Winter Weather Update - Tulsa Local Pulse for January 29th

    Tulsa's Downtown Growth, Childcare Boost, and Winter Weather Update - Tulsa Local Pulse for January 29th
    2026/01/29
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, January 29th. We kick off with breaking news from City Hall where our council just greenlit big moves to boost downtown living and family support. Yesterday, they approved a 2.8 million dollar loan for 3D Flats at 3rd and Denver, adding 80 new units including 13 affordable ones for families earning 18 to 40 thousand a year. That means more workforce housing right in the heart of downtown, helping folks like us stay close to the action at Cain's Ballroom and vibrant spots nearby. They also passed an ordinance easing fire rules for home daycares serving up to 12 kids, keeping about 250 spots open across Tulsa and tackling those childcare deserts, especially in North Tulsa.

    Winter weather dominates today, listeners. Icy roads and snow have Tulsa Public Schools and Union Public Schools closed, with all after-school activities off, though district offices stay open. Epic Charter sites are open but watch for patches. Bundle up as we expect sub-freezing temps with light flurries through afternoon, easing by evening, so plan indoor fun.

    On the business front, the Tulsa Regional Chamber's Annual Meeting and Inauguration happens today at noon at Arvest Convention Center on Civic Center, inaugurating Dr. Cliff Robertson of Saint Francis as board chair and honoring locals like Alan Armstrong of Williams Companies. No major openings or closings, but real estate heats up with those downtown units pushing median home prices around 220 thousand.

    Crime stays low key past 24 hours, no major incidents or alerts from Tulsa Police, just routine patrols keeping our neighborhoods safe.

    Quick school note, Francis Tuttle Tech Center in Tulsa faces nursing program reviews today by the state board, aiming to strengthen local training. Sports wise, high school games paused due to weather.

    Looking ahead, mark your calendars for community networking post-Chamber event. And a feel-good shoutout to Partner Tulsa for steering that housing loan, connecting developers to real needs.

  • Tulsa's Winter Weather Disruption: Travel Dangers, Shelters, and Advice for Staying Safe

    Tulsa's Winter Weather Disruption: Travel Dangers, Shelters, and Advice for Staying Safe
    2026/01/25
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, January 25th.

    We're waking up to a winter weather situation that's affecting our entire region and we need to talk about what that means for your Sunday. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is reporting snow packed highways across most of the state with icy conditions still present in southern and southeastern counties. Both Interstate 35 and Interstate 40 are slick and hazardous with snow packed surfaces, so if you're thinking about heading out today, the state is strongly discouraging all travel. If you absolutely must get somewhere, crews are urging you to slow down, drive for the conditions, and keep at least 200 feet behind those road clearing trucks. Think of it as about two basketball courts of distance.

    Here in Tulsa, the city has been working around the clock. Street crews have been plowing and applying salt to our main roads throughout the night and they're continuing through this snow event. There's special focus on those traditional problem areas like 61st and Sheridan and Tulsa Hills. One heads up though, Downtown is not expected to be plowed to the center lanes due to the less than expected snowfall we received. We do have one street closure to be aware of, South Elwood Avenue by Turkey Mountain is closed until further notice.

    The city is also making sure vulnerable residents are taken care of during this extreme cold. All area shelters remain open twenty-four seven and operating near full capacity. If you know someone who needs shelter, the CREOKS Winter Shelter over on East Admiral Boulevard has capacity for 250 people and they're accepting pets. They're also looking for additional volunteers if anyone listening wants to help out.

    On the weather front, this is part of a massive winter storm affecting nearly 180 million Americans from the Rocky Mountains all the way to New England. Meteorologists are saying the snow and ice will be very slow to melt and won't be going away anytime soon. We're also expecting frigid temperatures to follow, with some areas already experiencing windchills as low as minus 40 degrees.

    This storm has had widespread impacts. Thousands of flights have been canceled across the country and here at Will Rogers International Airport in Oklahoma City, all Saturday flights were canceled and all Sunday morning flights are called off as well. The airport is aiming to restart service Sunday afternoon.

    For those heading into this week, stay weather aware. Check on your neighbors, especially those who might need extra help during this extreme cold. Keep your distance from plows and never attempt to pass them. And remember, staying home if you can helps crews clear snow and treat those icy conditions much more effectively.

  • Winter Storm Fern Brings Hazardous Travel, School Closures, and Shelter Openings in Tulsa

    Winter Storm Fern Brings Hazardous Travel, School Closures, and Shelter Openings in Tulsa
    2026/01/23
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, January 23. We kick off with breaking news on Winter Storm Fern slamming our area, bringing six to twelve inches of snow north of I-40 and dangerous cold with wind chills down to fifteen below zero through the weekend. City crews brined major roads like Riverside Drive and the Broken Arrow Expressway overnight, deploying sixty plow trucks on arterials, bridges, and hospital routes near Saint Francis, but neighborhood streets stay untreated to prioritize emergency paths. This means hazardous travel starting around six this morning, so we stay home if possible, avoiding slips near mailboxes or quick store runs as Broken Arrow Fire Chief Jeremy Moore warns.

    City Hall closes early at one p.m. today, along with the Permit Center and cashier windows, but handle utilities and permits online. Trash runs normal today, but skip recycling and secondary pickups Saturday through Monday, sliding services later, with bulky waste delayed to next week. Parks like Mohawk and Woodward shut to vehicles through Sunday, the Tulsa Zoo closes till Monday to protect animals, and community centers go dark for the weekend. Schools adapt too, with Bixby and Jenks open for early release today, Union canceling events like Robotics Rumble, and Tulsa Public Schools announcing by five a.m. Check district apps and sites closely.

    Homeless outreach ramps up, shuttling folks via Metro Link to 24/7 shelters accepting pets, keeping our vulnerable safe downtown and along Peoria Avenue. No major crimes reported in the last day, but stay vigilant on icy streets.

    Schools shine otherwise, with Owasso shifting to distance learning smartly. Looking ahead, Great Decisions kicks off at Central Library on asylum policy if weather eases. Job market holds steady, real estate sees homes averaging two hundred seventy thousand around South Tulsa holding firm amid storm prep.

    We bundle up today under partly cloudy skies turning wintry by evening, with bitter cold lingering. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for daily updates.

  • Local Weather Woes, Biz Buzz, and Young Professionals Shine in Tulsa

    Local Weather Woes, Biz Buzz, and Young Professionals Shine in Tulsa
    2026/01/22
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, January 22nd. We kick off with our weather update, as a big winter storm looms. Expect mostly cloudy skies today with highs around 55 degrees near the Arkansas River, warming to the upper 50s downtown before possible evening sprinkles. That changes fast, listeners, with snow arriving tomorrow, dropping to 28 degrees, and heavy accumulations possible Saturday into Sunday as an Arctic front brings subzero wind chills through Monday. Bundle up for outdoor plans and watch for slick roads on Riverside Drive.

    In city developments, Broken Arrow City Council just approved Spring Creek Crossing, a 130-home project near 121st and Lynn Riggs Road, despite neighbors' flooding worries in backyards. Developers promise fixes within 30 days. Meanwhile, TYPROS young professionals drew a record 96 to Cabin Boys Brewery on Tuesday for networking, with their next Pub Club February 17th at American Solera, and applications open for Get On Board board internships.

    New business news includes OMMA suspending Bud Guys LLP operations in Tulsa for violations, urging caution if you're in that space. A Way Home for Tulsa starts its annual Point-In-Time homeless count today through tomorrow, helping us grasp needs in our neighborhoods.

    On the mental health front, investigations linger into 2023 contract favoritism toward GRAND Mental Health in northeast Tulsa County, but all providers like Family & Childrens Services now share unrestricted zones for better access.

    Crime stays low in the past day, with no major incidents or alerts from Tulsa Police, though a US Post Office labor charge surfaced yesterday in our area. Keep vigilance on Peoria Avenue spots.

    Upcoming, join the TYPROS events or Sand Springs town hall vibes from earlier this week. Local schools report solid winter sports starts, no big scores yet.

    For a feel-good lift, that TYPROS crowd shows our young leaders connecting at local breweries, building Tulsas future one handshake at a time.

  • Tulsa Men's Basketball Seeks Road Win, Chili Bowl Nationals Underway, Warm Weather Ahead

    Tulsa Men's Basketball Seeks Road Win, Chili Bowl Nationals Underway, Warm Weather Ahead
    2026/01/18
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Sunday, January 18th.

    We're starting our day with some great news for Golden Hurricane fans. The Tulsa men's basketball team is heading to Birmingham today to take on UAB at two o'clock this afternoon in a matchup that carries some real significance. The team is looking to snap an oh-for-eight streak in Birmingham and secure their second straight road win. Tulsa has been playing some exceptional basketball this season, currently ranked 23rd in the country in scoring with an average of 87 and a half points per game. David Green has been absolutely on fire lately, averaging over 23 points in his last five games while shooting an impressive 69 percent from the field. The starting five of Barnstable, Behrend, Green, Popoola and Riley has been a huge part of the team's success, ranked 19th nationally in their plus minus rating. The Blazers are sitting at 12 and 6 on the season, so this should be a competitive contest.

    Looking at what's happening around town, we've got some exciting racing action unfolding right now. The 2026 Chili Bowl Nationals are in full swing at the SageNet Center here in Tulsa, with the A Main lineup now set featuring 24 drivers competing for a golden driller. This is always one of our most anticipated events, and the preliminary rounds have been drawing crowds all week.

    Let's talk weather because we're going to have some great conditions today. We're expecting mostly sunny skies with a high near 50 degrees this afternoon, though it'll be a bit breezy with winds coming from the south around 12 to 13 miles per hour. It's a nice day to get outside and enjoy some activities. Looking ahead into the week, we'll see a warming trend with Monday bringing clouds and highs around 30 before we climb back up into the low 50s by Tuesday and Wednesday.

    On the housing front, the city of Edmond has been taking a closer look at proposed developments like the Gardenia Apartments, with local officials examining design details including roof lines and how new structures fit within our community's character. It's the kind of careful consideration that helps shape our neighborhoods as the area continues to grow.

    We're also keeping an eye on national developments that affect our pocketbooks. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has had quite a turbulent year dealing with staffing challenges and funding questions at the federal level, something that could eventually impact financial services and consumer protections here in Oklahoma.
