Oklahoma City is bracing for a mixed bag of weather conditions this week, with the National Weather Service reporting a 30 percent chance of showers today, mainly between the afternoon hours of 1 pm and 4 pm; the skies will be partly sunny with a high near 88 degrees and a south wind blowing at 10 to 13 mph, according to the National Weather Service latest forecast. Evening predictions include a slight chance of more showers and the potential for thunderstorms after 4 am, with overnight temperatures hovering around 72 degrees.
As Monday arrives, the threat of thunderstorms appears to diminish before 7 am, giving way to mostly sunny skies and a high reaching close to 89 degrees, the wind settling into a gentler rhythm from the south at 6 to 8 mph, and the chance of precipitation drops to a mere 10 percent. The pattern of balmy nights persists with Monday night's low forecasted to be around 71 degrees under partly cloudy conditions, which seems to establish a precedent for the nights to come.
Residents can expect the sun to continue its dominion on Tuesday with mostly sunny forecasts and highs steadfast at 89 degrees, the breeze remaining a consistent presence from the south. Looking ahead, the weather pivots once more on Wednesday; chances of showers regroup with thunderstorms possible after 1 pm, the daytime high dipping slightly to 86 degrees, reflecting a 30 percent likelihood of rain that jumps to 50 percent into Wednesday night.
A respite appears to arrive Thursday with only a 20 percent chance of showers before the early afternoon and a partly sunny sky with a comfortable high near 82 degrees, though as night falls, the possibility of rain and thunderstorms returns, albeit at a similar, modest 20 percent chance. The outlook for the end of the week remains favorable, as a return to mostly sunny conditions presents itself Friday, foretelling an uninterrupted stretch of agreeable weather through the following weekend with temperatures consistently around the mid-80s.
