Oklahoma City, OK – Oklahoma starts the day under low gray clouds and a warm, humid breeze that hints at bigger changes moving toward midweek. Pavement feels damp and mild now, but rising heat and building moisture signal a stormier Wednesday that could slow early Thanksgiving travel across central counties.
According to the National Weather Service Norman office, steady warming continues today as south winds increase. Gusts along I-35 and I-44 may nudge high-profile vehicles, so drivers should stay alert during the afternoon push. Keep phones charged, secure outdoor decorations and plan for shifting winds as the next cold front forms to the west.
According to forecasters, Tuesday turns mostly sunny and unseasonably warm for November. Highs jump into the upper 70s, adding fuel for Wednesday thunderstorms. A few storms could produce brief downpours and lightning near metro routes, especially after lunchtime. While severe weather looks limited, any heavier cell could create rapid visibility drops and slowdowns for early holiday travel.
According to emerging guidance, Wednesday evening holds the best chance for steadier showers as the front stalls nearby. Temperatures dip only slightly, but the pattern hints at a cooler trend late this week. No snow threat appears for Oklahoma, though northern Plains states may see a Winter Tease as colder pockets spill in next weekend.
According to early weekend projections, central Oklahoma trends drier with seasonable afternoons. That stretch should help travelers leaving later in the week and offer pleasant hours for leaf cleanup, outdoor prep or early holiday decorating before stronger fronts return near Thanksgiving.
