According to the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma City will see sunny skies and highs near 90 through Friday, with Saturday slightly cooler at 87. Winds from the south will pick up, gusting up to 20 mph by Saturday afternoon. Drivers on I-35 and I-40 should stay alert for crosswinds, especially in open stretches of highway.
