Oklahoma – Low clouds slide over the metro this morning as mild air lingers on city streets. The breeze feels steady but not harsh. Change is already lining up, with a warming push that will be noticeable within the next 48 hours.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures hold near the upper 50s today under mostly cloudy skies. Southwest winds gust at times before turning lighter by afternoon. Roads stay dry, but drivers may notice crosswinds along I-40 and I-35 during the morning commute.
Skies clear heading into midweek. Sunshine returns Wednesday, pushing highs into the low 60s. Winds relax, and conditions feel calmer across central Oklahoma. By Thursday afternoon, the warm-up accelerates. Highs reach the mid-70s, delivering a clear February spring tease just ahead of Valentine’s Day weekend.
That warmth helps draw moisture north. Clouds increase Thursday night, and rain chances begin to climb. Showers become more likely Friday, with precipitation chances near 50 percent by afternoon. Wet pavement could slow traffic during the evening drive, especially on elevated ramps and busy corridors.
Rain lingers into Friday night, when chances rise toward 80 percent. While temperatures remain mild, visibility may drop during heavier showers. No winter weather is expected, but drivers should plan extra time and watch for standing water in low spots.
Looking ahead, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across much of the southern Plains into early next week. That supports a continued mild stretch from Monday through Saturday, even as additional systems bring periodic rain chances.
Enjoy the warmer afternoons, but keep umbrellas ready late week. Traveling this weekend? Expect changing conditions but no sharp cold snaps.
