Oklahoma – Warm air surges across central Oklahoma early, with mild breezes brushing open fields and sun breaking through patchy clouds. By later Sunday, the mood shifts. Winds stiffen, showers slide in, and temperatures tumble fast enough to reshape holiday travel plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Norman, highs climb near 80 degrees today in Oklahoma City before a cold front sweeps through Sunday afternoon. South winds strengthen ahead of the boundary, with gusts topping 30 mph. A slight chance of showers develops by midday Sunday, followed by a sharp wind shift and falling temperatures.
Drivers across Oklahoma City, Norman, and Moore should prepare for changing road conditions Sunday into early Monday. Wet pavement combined with dropping temperatures may lead to slick spots after dark, especially on elevated roadways and ramps along I-35 and I-40. Winds could gust near 40 mph for a time, making high-profile vehicles harder to control.
By Monday, colder air settles in firmly. Afternoon highs struggle into the upper 30s, and morning lows dip into the 20s. While snow is not expected, the rapid warm-to-cold transition raises a familiar late-December concern: flash freezing where moisture lingers. Plan extra time if traveling and keep jackets handy, even if today feels more like spring.
Midweek trends calmer and dry as New Year’s Eve approaches. Wednesday looks cool but quiet, setting the stage for a mostly sunny start to New Year’s Day 2026 with highs rebounding into the 50s.
Traveling Sunday or returning home before the new year? Watch the wind, slow down on wet roads, and share what conditions feel like where you are.
