Oklahoma – Clear skies stretch over the metro this morning, and the air feels crisp but calm. Streetlights fade against a pale sunrise as winter briefly loosens its grip across central Oklahoma.
According to the National Weather Service in Norman, dry and stable conditions settle in through the weekend. Morning temperatures start near the upper 30s, but sunshine quickly lifts readings into the 50s. Winds remain light, making today feel calmer than earlier in the week.
In Oklahoma City, afternoon sun dominates Saturday and Sunday. Highs reach the low 50s, while nights cool into the low to mid-30s. Frost may form on cars and lawns during early hours, especially in sheltered neighborhoods. Drivers should remain alert for isolated slick spots on bridges during colder mornings, though widespread issues are not expected.
By Sunday afternoon, the pattern turns noticeably milder. Sunshine reflects off dry pavement, and outdoor plans look favorable. Parks, trails, and neighborhood streets stay dry, offering a break from winter disruptions seen elsewhere across the country.
Early next week brings a stronger warm-up. Monday highs climb into the low 60s, signaling a sharp temperature rebound for January. Light winds and clear skies keep conditions comfortable during the day, though evenings cool quickly after sunset. To be fair, winter is not finished, but this stretch offers a welcome pause.
