Norman, OK – Western Oklahoma will experience scattered showers and weak thunderstorms throughout Wednesday morning, with brief rain and mostly dry conditions forecast for the region. Affected areas include Woodward, Clinton, and Weatherford, though rainfall is expected to be light. Prepare for minor disruptions, as weather impacts will be brief.

According to the National Weather Service in Norman, additional storms are expected late tonight and into early Thursday, bringing heavier rain to central Oklahoma, including Oklahoma City and Ponca City. Residents should monitor weather updates as conditions may shift rapidly through the day.

Drivers on I-40 near Clinton and Lawton should exercise caution during these weather events. Rain can cause slick roads, especially during morning commutes. The heaviest precipitation will be seen through 9 a.m., with rain tapering off later in the morning. Thursday brings another chance of thunderstorms, likely to develop overnight.

Looking ahead, Oklahoma is set to see a shift in temperatures. The heat will persist through Friday, with highs in the upper 80s to mid-90s, but cooler weather is expected over the weekend. By Monday, temperatures could dip to the mid-60s, bringing much-needed relief after a warm week. Rain chances increase by late next week, so residents should prepare for a wet start to mid-October.
