OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – A warm, breezy Fall weekend will set up a brief weather shift for Columbus Day, with a few light showers expected early Monday before sunshine returns midweek. After several days of above-average warmth, conditions may briefly cool as clouds increase late Sunday into the holiday.
According to the National Weather Service in Norman, highs will climb near 89°F on Saturday and Sunday, with southwest winds gusting over 20 mph at times. A weak cold front drifting through the state Monday morning could spark isolated showers, especially east of I-35, before drier air takes over by afternoon.
Drivers planning trips along I-40 or I-35 Monday morning should watch for damp roads and light rain pockets. The front may drop temperatures slightly, but the Fall pattern stays mild overall. By Tuesday, sunshine and highs in the mid-80s will return — perfect for Fall park outings, pumpkin patch visits, and early Halloween decorating.
Oklahoma’s warm pattern continues through midweek with no major cold snaps or frost expected. Residents are encouraged to stay hydrated during outdoor events, secure lightweight decorations in gusty winds, and prepare for a quick weather change on the holiday before more sunshine dominates the second half of the week.
