November 2 8 NOAA Extended Outlook NOAA's Climate Prediction Center favors above normal temperatures across Oklahoma during November 2 8, suggesting Oklahoma City and surrounding central Oklahoma communities could continue experiencing relatively mild conditions into the first full week of November.
Above normal precipitation is also favored across Oklahoma during this period, although the outlook does not identify specific rainfall totals, daily precipitation probabilities or the timing of individual weather systems.
The agency's separate November 2 8 hazard outlook identifies a slight risk of high winds across portions of the central United States during November 2 4, with the highlighted area extending toward northern Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City lies south of the main highlighted high wind risk area, and the outlook does not establish a specific damaging wind threat for the city.
No significant heavy snow hazard is highlighted for central Oklahoma in the supplied NOAA outlook.
While showers and thunderstorms are possible during the final week of October, the longer range precipitation outlook suggests wetter than normal conditions may remain a concern during early November.
Residents should continue monitoring updated National Weather Service forecasts, particularly for Tuesday's thunderstorm potential and rainfall chances heading into Halloween weekend.
