Tulsa Local Pulse: Pleasant Weekend Ahead Before Monday Storm System

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, May second. We're starting this weekend with pleasant weather after a cool start to May. Skies are clearing up today with highs expected in the lower seventies and a light northeast breeze. It's looking like a great day to get outside and enjoy some of that Tulsa sunshine. Tomorrow things warm up even more with southerly winds bringing highs near eighty degrees. However, listeners should keep an eye on Monday night into Tuesday when a significant weather system moves in. We're expecting increasing moisture and chances for showers and thunderstorms ahead of an approaching cold front, so bundle up that warm trend while it lasts. Speaking of what's happening this weekend, there's quite a bit to do around town. Today is the final day of Carney Fest over at the Church Studio with performances starting at ten in the morning. If you're looking for something different, the Oklahoma Gun Show continues through tomorrow at the Tulsa Fairgrounds. And music lovers won't want to miss Ok So Grand Slam tonight at Cains Ballroom at seven o'clock, featuring some fantastic local talent. Over at the BOK Center, the Tulsa Oilers take the field this evening at seven oh five for a football matchup. If you're planning to head downtown or anywhere in the area, just give yourself a little extra time because the weather should be cooperating all day long. In healthcare news, the OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center has received some welcome support this week. A two million dollar gift from the Stuart Family Foundation is funding the expansion of cancer care services here in Tulsa. When completed, the new facility will include seventy exam rooms, forty five infusion spaces, and three linear accelerators, along with imaging capabilities like MRI and PET-CT scans. It's a significant expansion that will bring more comprehensive cancer treatment options right here to our community in northeastern Oklahoma. On the legal front, a case that's been dragging through the courts for eight years is finally heading to trial. A civil lawsuit involving a Tulsa police officer and a car accident is set to begin Monday. The plaintiff, Adams, is seeking compensation for medical bills after the collision downtown. According to her attorney, the city has been unwilling to offer more than twelve thousand dollars, which is why this case has taken so long to resolve. We hope you've enjoyed this morning's update from across our community. Thank you for tuning in to Tulsa Local Pulse, and we encourage you to subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's local updates.
