OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – A blanket of freezing fog hangs low over central Oklahoma this morning, dimming headlights and glazing open fields in a pale shimmer. Temperatures hover near 25°F, leaving slick spots possible on bridges and overpasses across the metro. Drivers should slow down, especially along I-35 and the Kilpatrick Turnpike, where visibility may dip below a quarter-mile through midmorning.
According to the National Weather Service office in Norman, dense fog will gradually lift by late morning as weak December sunshine breaks through. Friday remains cool but comfortable, with highs near 50°F and calm southwesterly winds. Saturday brings another round of early fog before temperatures rebound into the mid-50s — a rare mild stretch for early December that could aid those tackling outdoor chores or early holiday errands.
By Sunday, skies stay mostly clear with highs in the mid-40s, but a dry front late Sunday night will shift winds north and nudge temperatures lower into Monday. The next Arctic push, projected to drop south mid-next week, could mark the return of true winter chill across the central Plains. Meteorologists are also monitoring a developing northern system that may reintroduce snow chances to the Midwest and upper Mississippi Valley between December 11 and 17 — a potential travel concern as holiday plans ramp up.
Residents should stay weather-aware through early next week and expect patchy morning fog to remain a factor. Keep headlights on low beam, allow extra distance between vehicles, and check road conditions before heading out.
