Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – A wetter and increasingly mild weather pattern is expected to develop across Oklahoma between Sunday, Feb. 8, and Tuesday, Feb. 12, increasing the potential for rain and occasional snow in the Oklahoma City area.
According to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, much of Oklahoma is included in an area with above-normal precipitation probabilities during the 6–10 day outlook period. Temperature outlooks also show a strong likelihood of above-normal temperatures, particularly across central and southern portions of the state.
As warmer air spreads northward, most precipitation is expected to fall as rain, especially during daytime hours. However, brief periods of snow or a rain-snow mix remain possible during overnight and early morning hours, particularly across northern Oklahoma or during cooler phases of passing systems.
Rather than a single major storm system, the outlook suggests multiple chances for precipitation throughout the Feb. 8–12 period. These conditions may result in wet roadways, reduced visibility, and localized ponding, especially during heavier rain events. While widespread winter travel impacts are not currently indicated, changing conditions could affect morning and evening commutes.
Northern Oklahoma may see greater variability in precipitation type, while central and southern portions of the state, including the Oklahoma City metro, are more likely to experience rain as temperatures remain above freezing. Young workers, students, and commuters should plan for day-to-day changes in road conditions.
Forecasters emphasize that this outlook reflects large-scale weather patterns, not specific storm systems or precipitation totals. Rainfall amounts, snowfall potential, and exact timing will become clearer as the forecast window approaches.
Residents are encouraged to monitor daily forecasts and updates from the National Weather Service for the latest information.
