OKLAHOMA — Rain soaked pavement, gray skies and reduced visibility are greeting Oklahoma City drivers as showers continue across the metro area. A wet Sunday could bring additional rainfall before temperatures surge toward 70 degrees later this week.
The immediate concern is wet road travel, particularly along Interstate 35, Interstate 40 and Interstate 44, where standing water could develop in poorly drained areas.
According to the National Weather Service, Oklahoma City faces a 100% chance of precipitation Sunday, with additional rainfall between one half and three quarters of an inch possible.
Temperatures remain chilly, reaching only 44 degrees despite a gradual improvement in conditions expected early this week.
Sunday Rain Creates Travel Concerns Across Oklahoma City Showers continue through Sunday, accompanied by east winds of 7 to 9 mph.
Morning observations at Will Rogers World Airport showed temperatures near 41 degrees, light rain, fog and mist.
Visibility was approximately 6 miles during the early observation period.
Drivers should allow additional stopping distance and watch for water collecting near intersections, highway ramps and low lying roadways.
Rain chances decrease Sunday evening, with only a 20% chance of showers before 8 p.m.
Temperatures settle near 40 degrees as skies gradually become mostly cloudy.
Although readings approach the upper 30s, the official outlook does not indicate freezing precipitation or widespread icy conditions.
Monday Brings Sunshine Before a Significant Warmup Monday marks the beginning of a noticeable weather turnaround.
Mostly sunny skies return as afternoon temperatures climb to approximately 54 degrees.
Tuesday delivers additional improvement, with sunshine and highs near 60 degrees.
By Wednesday, Oklahoma City could reach 63 degrees under partly sunny skies.
That represents a 19 degree increase from Sunday's projected high.
The warmer conditions should benefit commuters, construction crews and families planning outdoor activities.
Thunderstorm Chances Return Later This Week Thursday brings another temperature increase, with highs approaching 67 degrees.
However, the extended outlook introduces a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms Thursday night.
The National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center also highlights a broader storm system affecting the southern Plains and Gulf Coast.
Its discussion identifies heavier rainfall and isolated strong storms farther south, particularly toward southeastern Texas.
No specific tornado threat is identified for Oklahoma City in the supplied local outlook.
Residents should continue monitoring updates as additional rain chances develop heading into the weekend.
