Residents of Oklahoma City might want to keep their umbrellas within arm's reach over the next several days, as the National Weather Service in Oklahoma City predicts an on-and-off again dance with precipitation. According to the National Weather Service, today stands a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms post-lunch, despite the sunny morning, with temperatures peaking around a summery 92 degrees.
A steady southwest wind at 7 mph adds to what could be a nice day—if not for the chance of surprise showers. If you have evening plans, keep in mind there's a slight chance of rain or storms before 10 p.m., and again between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. Temperatures will dip to a mild 70 degrees, with the wind shifting east at 6 mph, then turning south overnight. Rain chances stay around 20%, as reported by the National Weather Service.
On Thursday, there's a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially before noon. More rain is possible between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., with another round of storms likely after 1 p.m. Still, the sun might peek through, and highs will reach around 88°F with a light south-southwest breeze. Thursday night brings a higher 60% chance of rain and possible thunderstorms after 1 a.m., so don’t count on the weather clearing up, as stated by the National Weather Service.
Heading into the weekend, Friday will stay wet with off-and-on showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will stay warm, around 87°F during the day and 69°F at night. Saturday and Sunday bring more of the same—mostly sunny skies but with a 30% chance of storms on Saturday and 40% on Sunday, as per the National Weather Service.
The showers seem to want to complete their stint in Oklahoma City by early next week with decreased chances of thunderstorms and clear out by Tuesday, allowing for mostly sunny skies and a high of 82, which gives us all some hope for a return to more predictable, sunnier days as announced by the National Weather Service.
