OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — The first light over the plains carries that unmistakable November calm — golden sun on dry fields, a quiet breeze barely stirring the air. It’s a beautiful, tranquil start across central Oklahoma, and the streak of sunny, mild weather continues through week’s end before cooler air settles in for the weekend.
Today’s high climbs to around 75°F, nearly ten degrees above normal. Winds stay light but could gust near 20 mph through the afternoon. Travelers along I-35 and I-40 can expect clear skies and excellent visibility, making this one of the week’s best days for roadwork, outdoor chores, or early holiday prep.
Thursday keeps the trend going — sunshine, light winds, and highs near 76°F — though a subtle wind shift will start to bring in drier air. By Friday, highs reach the low 70s, still pleasant but signaling that a pattern change is nearing.
That change arrives late Friday night into Saturday as winds turn north and cooler air sweeps through the region. Highs fall into the low 70s on Saturday and near 50°F by Sunday morning, a crisp reminder that winter’s transition is not far behind.
For Veterans Day early next week, expect sunny skies but a chillier morning with lows dipping toward the mid-30s in some rural spots. While no rain or frost threats appear yet, forecasters hint that the first true November cold snap may arrive by mid-month — just as Thanksgiving travel plans begin to form.
