The National Weather Service in Oklahoma City reports a bright but chilly morning with a current temperature standing at 18°F and a noticeable humidity in the air. The last update, which came through at 6:52 am CST, ensures we are aware that while the sun may shine down on us, the wind chill might just have something else in store, pulling the feels-like temperature down to a sharp 9°F.
Oklahomans looking to layer up should prepare to cautiously venture outdoors today with expectations of sunny skies and a slightly warmer high near 36. The north wind, which had previously been brisk in the early hours, is expected to fade to a gentler pace, becoming light and variable as the day unfolds.
As tonight rolls in, residents can anticipate a shift in the weather pattern. According to NWS, the sky will begin to cloud over, setting the stage for a low around 26 while a south southwest wind moves in at 5 to 8 mph.

The likelihood of precipitation is pegged at 60%, with new snow accumulation expected to be less than a half inch. Tomorrow night could continue to see snow showers before midnight, though the chances drop to 20 percent, offering a quiet segue to cloudy conditions with the low hovering around 28.
For the end of the week, the NWS is predicting a slight reprieve from the wintry mix with a partly sunny Friday and a high near 35.
