Oklahoma City is stepping down from the heat Monday, with cloudy skies early, temperatures in the low 70s and a forecast high near 87. The cooldown is modest—not sweater weather—but it is a notable change after the recent run of hotter days.

The National Weather Service expects clouds to thin into a partly sunny afternoon, with north-northeast winds around 10 mph. Rain chances remain low at about 10%, so most Monday plans should stay dry.

Cooler Nights Arrive Before Heat Rebuilds

Monday night will have temperatures dipping to around 65 degrees. Tuesday should reach 86, followed by a cooler 62-degree night. Highs will remain in the 80s and lower 90s through midweek.

Rain Chances Return Late In The Week

Temperatures stay above normal in the 80s to mid-90s Thursday through Sunday, while precipitation chances continue later in the week.

Sunday will remain warm. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Oklahoma City, but the late-week storm chances are worth keeping in mind for outdoor plans.
