OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Clear skies stretch across central Oklahoma this morning, revealing one of the warmest mid-November stretches yet — a calm, golden spell before the next shift in the state’s weather pattern. By Friday, temperatures will surge into the upper 70s and low 80s across the metro, pairing with steady south winds that bring dry, comfortable air from the Gulf.
According to the National Weather Service in Norman, Friday’s highs could top 79°F in Oklahoma City, with sunny skies holding firm through Saturday. Gusts up to 20 mph are expected across open stretches of I-35 and Highway 62. Fire danger may rise slightly west of the city, where dry grasses and gusty winds will make outdoor burning risky.
The warm streak continues into Sunday, with highs near 73°F before cooler, more unsettled air begins sliding in from the Plains early next week. Models show a weak front arriving by late Monday or Tuesday, dropping temperatures back into the 60s and possibly sparking a few light showers across the region.
Residents planning outdoor events, yard work, or early holiday decorating should take advantage of the weekend’s calm, sunny pattern. After all, November rarely stays this quiet for long. Once that early-week front settles in, Oklahoma may see its first hint of pre-Thanksgiving chill — a subtle reminder that winter’s door is slowly creaking open.
