Clear and cool this Sunday morning in Oklahoma City, with Will Rogers World Airport reporting about 48°F at 5:20 a.m. CDT. The sun will stick around through the afternoon, pushing highs into the mid 80s. Expect breezy south southwest winds that pick up through the day and remain gusty into Monday, so it will feel a lot less like that crisp morning by later on.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
Sunny skies are forecast with a high near 84°F and south southwest winds of 9 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Those gusts will make outdoor seating, tarps and lightweight items easy to blow around, so secure loose gear if you will be outside. This outlook comes from the National Weather Service in Norman, and you can check the office forecast for more details at the National Weather Service.
Fire Weather Concerns Nearer The Panhandle
Portions of northwest Oklahoma may see elevated to near critical fire weather Sunday and again Monday afternoon as relative humidity drops into the low teens and southwest gusts approach 30 mph. The office's forecast discussion highlights that dry, breezy afternoons could raise fire risk, so residents should postpone open burns and be cautious with grilling or yardwork that can generate sparks.

Midweek Cool Down And Chance For Showers
A front arrives early Tuesday, switching winds to the north and bringing a noticeably cooler airmass for midweek. A slight chance of rain and a few thunderstorms is possible Tuesday night into Wednesday, with highs falling into the 60s–70s and lows dipping into the 40s in spots. Keep an eye on updates before planning outdoor events later in the week, since conditions may feel very different from the warm, windy setup to start Sunday.
