OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – A soft gold light spreads across the plains this morning as calm air and cool temperatures start another tranquil early November day. But that chill won’t last long — the week ahead brings bright skies and warm afternoons before a cooler breeze returns late in the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Norman, highs will reach the mid-70s today and climb further by midweek, topping out near 77°F Wednesday. South winds strengthen gradually, gusting between 20 and 25 mph each afternoon, particularly along I-35 and U.S. 62. Visibility will stay excellent for commuters, and the dry pattern continues with no measurable rain expected through Friday.
The mild stretch offers ideal travel weather across the Oklahoma City metro and nearby Norman, Moore, and Edmond — a good opportunity for outdoor projects or early holiday prep. Still, those gusty winds could make outdoor burning risky in rural counties west of the metro. The NWS advises residents to monitor local fire danger statements as humidity drops midweek.
By late Friday, a weak front slides across the region, nudging temperatures back into the low 70s by day and 40s at night. The air will feel distinctly more seasonal heading into the weekend — a crisp reminder that winter isn’t far behind. Early long-range models hint at a more pronounced cold push closer to mid-November, potentially affecting early Veterans Day events.
For now, the state enjoys calm skies, mild sun, and a steady breeze — fall’s friendliest side before the next cool-down begins.
