For Friday, forecasters expect another sunny day with a high near 59 degrees, and winds transitioning to a more easterly direction in the afternoon. The upcoming weekend will maintain this pattern, with the NWS predicting a high of 53 degrees on Saturday and climbing slightly to 55 degrees by Sunday, all under sunny skies.
Early next week, the city should see temperatures ranging from a daytime high near 56 degrees on Monday to a climb to 67 degrees by Tuesday. The evenings will follow suit, with mainly clear conditions and the mercury fluctuating between lows in the upper 20s to mid-30s.
Oklahoma City's sun-filled forecast seems to be a welcome departure from the typical cold snap usually experienced this time of year, providing residents with ample opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities and break from the indoor confinement that often accompanies the chillier months.
