OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma – A gray and misty start to the week will give way to sunshine and crisp fall air by midweek across Central Oklahoma. Light rain, patchy fog, and damp roads this morning could slow commuters around Oklahoma City, Norman, and Edmond before drier weather builds in by Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Norman, a line of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue through midmorning Tuesday before tapering off. Northerly winds will increase behind the system, ushering in cooler and much drier air. Visibility could briefly dip below a mile in fog-prone areas, especially near I-35 and rural valleys west of the metro. Drivers should use low beams and leave extra following distance on slick roads.
By Wednesday, skies will clear with highs in the mid-50s, and lighter winds will make for a bright, comfortable afternoon. Cooler air arrives Wednesday night, when temperatures fall into the 30s—cold enough for the first patchy frost of the season in outlying counties like Canadian, Logan, and Cleveland. Residents should protect tender plants and outdoor pets as the chill settles in.
The timing looks ideal for Halloween on Friday, with mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs near 64. Trick-or-treaters can expect calm, mild conditions—no heavy coats needed, just a light sweater under costumes.
Looking ahead to the weekend, temperatures climb back toward 70 by Saturday under mostly sunny skies. To be fair, the pleasant stretch won’t last long—early November signals a likely shift toward a chillier, more winterlike pattern for the Southern Plains.
