Oklahoma City, OK – Drivers heading into Labor Day plans could face wet roads across central Oklahoma as scattered thunderstorms linger through Monday afternoon. Storms may create slick conditions on I-35 and secondary highways before drier, cooler air takes hold midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Norman, showers and storms remain a 40 percent risk Sunday evening into Labor Day. Thunderstorms may fire through early Monday, but drier skies and a gradual shift toward calm conditions are expected by Monday night. Temperatures will hover near 83°F on Labor Day before dropping into the mid-60s overnight.
Residents in Oklahoma City, Norman, and Edmond should keep travel flexible, especially on I-40 and I-35 where brief downpours may reduce visibility. Outdoor gatherings for Labor Day may dodge rain in the morning, but stronger storms could still push through by mid-afternoon. Those hosting events are urged to keep indoor alternatives ready.
By Tuesday, a refreshing change arrives. Highs will sit near 79°F under mostly sunny skies with a cooler breeze. Wednesday continues the trend, bringing clear skies and highs in the mid-80s. The week finishes dry, with only a small chance of showers by Friday.
