Oklahoma City, OK – The air feels sharp and still across Central Oklahoma this morning as frost glistens on rooftops and fields shimmer white under starlight. Temperatures dipped to near 33°F across portions of Oklahoma, Cleveland, and Pottawatomie counties, prompting a Frost Advisory from the National Weather Service in Norman. Sensitive plants and unprotected plumbing may be at risk as calm winds and clear skies allow frost to settle thickest in rural valleys and low-lying neighborhoods.

Residents are urged to cover vegetation and bring pets indoors until mid-morning, when sunshine begins to melt the icy layer. By late morning, the chill will fade fast as highs climb into the low 60s. It’s a brisk but beautiful start to Halloween week, with light north winds and dry air dominating through Friday.

Friday brings a few clouds, but temperatures will warm further — highs near 65°F — before another cool, clear night in the upper 30s. Saturday and Sunday look ideal for outdoor plans, with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s and barely a breeze to speak of.

Looking farther ahead, long-range weather models suggest colder air may push south by mid-November, opening the door for a potential early-season chill and even light snow chances across parts of the Plains and Midwest. While Oklahoma stays frost-free for now after this morning, the early taste of winter is a timely reminder: the season’s first true cold snap is coming soon.
