The National Weather Service in Oklahoma City provided the latest weather update this chilly December morning. Oklahoma City residents can expect the day to unfold under mostly sunny skies with a comfortable high reaching near 51 degrees Fahrenheit. A gentle south-southwest wind blowing at 5 to 9 mph will accompany today's mild weather, offering a brief solace from the current 26 degrees Fahrenheit temperature that greeted locals early this morning.
As the evening approaches, the skies will part into more cloudy horizons. The temperature is slated to dip to a low around 38 degrees, with the south-southwest wind persisting at a steady 9 mph. In coming days, temperatures are projected to rise, suggesting a more appreciable respite from the recent bite of winter. Tomorrow and Sunday both promise abundant sunshine, with highs nearing 59 and 60 degrees, respectively, and continuing southwest winds that could bring gusts up to 21 mph on Sunday.
Into the weekday, NWS forecasts that the placid conditions will hold. Monday will mimic the pleasantness of the weekend. The sky will remain unmarred by clouds, given the sunny forecast, and temperatures will again rise near 59 degrees. As night falls, while Oklahomans lay sleeping, the veil of warmth will thin, with a low around 36 degrees expected.
Another surge of cool air is anticipated for Tuesday, reminding us of winter's sharp edge, with daytime highs plummeting comparably to a near 47 degrees. However, the week rounds out with a return to more gracious weather patterns, with the NWS predicting sunny skies and highs cresting once more to the mid-50s. Nighttime lows throughout the week will dip into the 30s, asking residents to bundle up during the darker hours.
