Oklahoma City, OK – Oklahoma will feel a sharp drop in temperatures as an Arctic Blast sinks into the Southern Plains from Monday, Dec. 1 through Friday, Dec. 5, bringing a Cold December pattern marked by breezy conditions, colder nights, and light flurries across northern Oklahoma.
According to the National Weather Service, early-week disturbances sliding south along the leading edge of the Arctic air mass may produce spotty flurries or light snow north of I-40, especially from Enid to Ponca City and up toward the Kansas border. Moisture is limited, so accumulations are expected to remain minimal.
Temperatures across central Oklahoma, including Oklahoma City, will fall into the upper 20s and low 30s, with teens possible in the northern tier during the coldest early-morning periods. Highs through midweek will run several degrees below normal, generally staying in the upper 30s to low 40s, accompanied by chilly northwest winds.
NOAA’s 6–10 Day Temperature Outlook keeps Oklahoma in a below-normal temperature zone for Dec. 1–Dec. 5, reflecting the southern reach of the Arctic air mass dominating the central U.S. A few midweek impulses may bring additional clouds or isolated flurries to northern Oklahoma.
While no major winter storm is expected, the combination of colder air, breezy winds, and occasional flurries may create brief travel impacts in northern Oklahoma.
Residents should prepare for a colder start to December and monitor updates from the National Weather Service.
