Oklahoma — A warm golden haze settles over the plains this morning, revealing crisp silhouettes of rooftops and long shadows stretching toward I-40. The breeze carries a dry, earthy scent across fields west of the metro, signaling a quiet start before a more unsettled midweek pattern begins to brew. The pavement glows slightly as early sun filters through thinning clouds, creating ideal conditions for residents stepping out for early errands or holiday travel prep.
Today brings sunny skies and highs in the lower 80s, unusually warm for mid-November. South winds strengthen through late morning, and drivers on major corridors should expect occasional gusts, especially near open stretches along I-35. These warm, dry conditions will help anyone planning early Thanksgiving travel routes or outdoor plans this weekend. To be fair, the calm won’t last long.
Sunday stays warm and bright with highs near 74°F, providing one more steady day for outdoor cleanup before a shift develops. By Monday, sunshine lingers but the atmosphere begins to moisten. Clouds gradually increase late, hinting at the changes models have been flagging deeper into November. Moisture and instability rise ahead of a developing system, creating a “Winter Tease” pattern flip—not because of snow in Oklahoma yet, but due to an upcoming cool-down and storm risk.
Tuesday brings the first notable weather impact for travelers: storms may develop after midnight into early Wednesday, with a 20–50% chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms. While surface temperatures remain mild, gusty winds and pockets of heavier rain could slow early commuters or overnight freight transport. Watch for quick changes, especially along the I-44 and I-35 corridors.
