Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – Under a clear pre-dawn sky, the city glows faintly against the early Veterans Day chill, temperatures hovering in the lower 40s as a mild south wind whispers across the plains. The cool start won’t last long. Sunshine will take over quickly, pushing Oklahoma City and surrounding communities back into the low 70s by afternoon — a near-perfect day for parades, flag ceremonies, or outdoor work.
According to the National Weather Service in Norman, the pleasant stretch continues through midweek with little change. Highs Wednesday and Thursday remain in the 70s under bright skies, while light winds keep evenings comfortable in the 40s and 50s. It’s a calm, steady pattern — a brief pause before the next system begins to stir toward the southern Plains by the weekend.
Drivers along I-35 and I-40 should expect excellent travel weather through Thursday, though gusts near 25 mph may pick up at times this afternoon. Residents planning to decorate early for the holidays or complete outdoor repairs have a wide window before Saturday, when clouds and humidity start to rise again.
Meteorologists say a weak disturbance could bring scattered showers or even a few rumbles of thunder Saturday into Sunday, signaling a more unsettled pattern ahead. The mild spell may break toward Thanksgiving week, with models hinting at cooler air pushing south — a “winter tease” many in Oklahoma recognize as the season’s next step.
For now, the air remains crisp, the skies flawless, and the weekend holds just enough uncertainty to keep weather-watchers alert.
