Oklahoma City rolled into Monday, June 22, 2026, under muggy, mostly clear pre-dawn skies, with temperatures hovering near 72°F. Overnight storms slipped through before sunrise and the atmosphere is not done yet, with more rounds of showers and thunderstorms expected through Tuesday. Pockets of heavy rain and gusty winds could briefly drop visibility and slow down both the morning and evening commutes on Monday. After this soggy start, the pattern flips later in the week to hotter and drier, with highs pushing toward the upper 90s by the weekend.
This Morning And Monday
Scattered storms are on the table at times today, mainly before and just after sunrise and then again Monday evening, according to the National Weather Service Norman. Any stronger storm cell may pack damaging straight-line winds and large hail, and the more robust storms could drop roughly one-half to three-quarters of an inch of rain in a short burst. Winds start off light from the northeast to east this morning, then swing around to the south and southeast later in the day while the humidity stays stubbornly high.
Monday Night Into Tuesday
A stalled surface boundary teamed up with several disturbances aloft will keep shower and thunderstorm chances going from Monday night into Tuesday, June 23, 2026. The most organized storms are expected late Tuesday across northwest Oklahoma. Rainfall totals through this stretch will be uneven, but many spots may pick up a few tenths to around a half-inch, with locally higher amounts where storms repeatedly track over the same area. If you have outdoor plans Tuesday, keep tabs on updated forecasts and be ready to head inside quickly if lightning or gusty winds move in.
Weekend Heat And Gusty Winds
After midweek, the pattern shifts to warmer and drier conditions. Highs climb into the upper 80s to low 90s by midweek, followed by a stronger warm-up Friday into the weekend. Forecast highs reach the mid 90s on Friday and jump into the upper 90s to near 99°F by Sunday, June 28, 2026, with southerly winds increasing to around 20 to 25 mph at times, according to the National Weather Service Norman. Expect sticky afternoons, with dew points holding in the upper 60s to low 70s, and try to schedule outdoor activities for the early morning or evening if you can.
What To Do Now
Plan on carrying a raincoat and give yourself extra time on the roads during likely storm periods. Never drive through flooded streets, and head indoors if lightning starts popping or winds turn severe. Ahead of the gustier stretches, secure loose outdoor items, and if you are hosting events outside later this week, keep an eye on local emergency alerts so you can adjust plans quickly.
