Oklahoma – Crisp air greets early risers as headlights cut through patchy clouds and damp pavement around central Oklahoma. Jackets feel necessary now, but this cold start won’t last long.
According to the National Weather Service office in Norman, temperatures sit in the mid-30s early this morning around Oklahoma City, with light north winds adding a chill. A stray shower remains possible early, though most areas stay dry as clouds thin later.
By afternoon, sunshine begins to take over. Highs climb into the low 50s, easing travel conditions and drying roads across the metro. Commuters should still watch shaded bridges early, where brief slick spots can linger during colder mornings.
Clear skies tonight allow temperatures to fall back into the low 30s. It feels calm, but the pattern shifts quickly. Winds turn southwest tomorrow, and warmth surges in fast. Highs jump into the mid-60s, then push near 70 by Friday under bright sun and gusts that may reach 20 mph at times.
That warming trend accelerates into the weekend. Saturday looks sunny and warm, with highs in the low to mid-70s. Sunday stays mild and mostly dry, ideal for outdoor plans, though cooler mornings remain part of the February routine.
Meteorologists note this quick rebound is tied to a broader warm-up spreading across the Plains, even as colder air lingers farther east. For now, winter hazards are limited locally, but early-morning drivers should stay alert for brief cold snaps and slick pavement where moisture remains.
Looking ahead into early next week, temperatures stay above normal with occasional rain chances returning. Enjoy the warmth, but keep layers handy. Heading out early or traveling later today? Let us know how conditions feel where you are.
