Oklahoma City started Friday, May 29, 2026, under mostly cloudy skies and a mild 66°F, but the calm is on borrowed time. A chance of showers and storms hangs around through the day, with the main severe threat of large hail and damaging wind expected late Friday and again Saturday as temperatures jump into the upper 80s and 90s.
Morning Fog And The Commute
Patchy fog is possible early Friday, especially east of I-35, which could cut visibility for the morning drive. Forecasters say any fog should burn off by mid-morning as south winds increase, giving way to mostly sunny skies into the afternoon.
Storms Firing Up And A Hot Weekend
Showers and a few thunderstorms may develop after mid-morning, with the greatest risk for stronger storms arriving late in the afternoon and evening. If storms organize, large hail and damaging straight-line winds will be the main concerns, according to the National Weather Service in Norman. The same pattern is expected to open the door to a hot weekend, with highs near 93°F on Saturday and around 95°F on Sunday, and heat-index values pushing into the upper 90s.
Prep Now And Know Where To Look
It is a good day to stash rain gear for afternoon errands and have a solid indoor backup for outdoor plans, since any severe warnings can arrive with limited lead time.
