It is a cloudy, muggy start at Will Rogers World Airport early Tuesday, June 23, 2026, with temperatures hovering near 68°F and the air already feeling sticky. A chance of showers and thunderstorms hangs around through the day and into the night, so if you have outdoor plans, a rain jacket is a smarter bet than sunglasses. The afternoon high should top out around 87°F, with a humid low near 69°F tonight.
Storm Timing And Impacts
One or more rounds of storms are expected from Tuesday morning through early tonight, with the main concern being damaging wind gusts in stronger squall lines. Showers and thunderstorms are possible before 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 23, and then again through the afternoon. The most widespread activity is likely between about 7 p.m. and 1 a.m., Tuesday night into early Wednesday, June 24, 2026. Locally heavy rainfall totals around a half to three-quarters of an inch are possible where storms train or redevelop, so plan for brief flooding and downed branches, according to the National Weather Service Norman office.
Afternoon Heat And Weekend Outlook
Once the storms move out, a subtropical ridge is expected to rebuild, sending temperatures higher late in the week. Look for highs near 89°F on Wednesday, with heat index values up to about 97°F. After that, Oklahoma City settles into a stretch of 90s, including mid 90s to upper 90s by the weekend and early next week.

Tips For Your Commute
Wet roads and sudden gusts could slow both the morning and evening commutes, so allow some extra travel time and avoid driving through flooded streets. If a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, head indoors, stay away from windows, and secure loose outdoor items. Keep your phone charged and keep an eye on local alerts this afternoon and tonight.
