Oklahoma City is starting Tuesday under mostly cloudy skies, while late-day and overnight showers or storms may affect portions of western Oklahoma and western north Texas. Temperatures should climb to about 86 degrees this afternoon, making for a brief break from the recent heat without exactly feeling like fall has arrived.
Showers Fade As Tuesday Warms Up
The Oklahoma City point forecast gives a 20% chance of showers Tuesday, while a few late-day and overnight showers or storms may affect portions of western Oklahoma and western north Texas. The forecast calls for stratus and northerly winds around 10 knots, with temperatures settling near 65 degrees Tuesday night, according to the National Weather Service.
Heat Builds Back Through The Weekend
Wednesday should reach 89 degrees, followed by temperatures ranging from the 80s to the mid-90s Thursday through Sunday. The weekend trend is warmer, with temperatures reaching the mid-90s sometime from Thursday through Sunday.
Rain and thunderstorm chances increase late Wednesday into Thursday, especially in northwestern Oklahoma, and precipitation chances continue Thursday through Sunday. Sunday could bring rain and thunderstorms.
A Bigger Warmup Than Monday’s Outlook
The latest forecast adds a clearer look at the warmup ahead through Sunday. Monday’s earlier outlook already pointed to a brief cooldown before warmer temperatures returned, as reported by Hoodline.
No watches or warnings are listed for Oklahoma City. For outdoor plans, Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday look relatively straightforward, while anyone heading outside this weekend should plan for heat and keep an eye on the small but growing storm chances.
