Oklahoma – A warm, gusty breeze sweeps across the southern Plains before sunrise, brushing through dry grass and stirring thin dust along open fields west of Oklahoma City. Streetlights flicker off wet pavement from a light overnight dew, and early commuters on I-35 and I-40 may feel sharp crosswinds as the morning builds. Drivers should steady their vehicles on exposed bridges and stay alert for sudden gusts.
According to the National Weather Service Norman office, temperatures surge into the upper 70s and lower 80s today as strong south winds take hold. According to forecasters, those winds may gust near 25 mph during the afternoon, adding travel concerns for high-profile vehicles. Anyone preparing for early holiday trips should secure loose decorations, check tire pressure, and plan around peak gust windows.
According to NWS guidance, Saturday brings more sun and similar warmth, though winds may briefly shift north before easing. Sunday offers another bright, mild day with highs near the mid-70s and calmer breezes—an ideal window for outdoor chores, early Christmas light installation, or pre-Thanksgiving planning. However, models hint at a larger pattern change next week. A stronger system may sweep across the central United States and pull colder air south, a classic “Winter Tease” already influencing states from Colorado to Minnesota.
While Oklahoma stays warm through midweek, colder pockets north of the Red River could support early-season flakes in the upper Midwest, a sign of shifting November momentum. Travelers heading north should monitor regional updates for quick rain-to-snow transitions on major routes.
