Oklahoma City is starting Tuesday, October 6, at a cool 57 degrees under clear skies, but the day has a summer-like finish in store: sunshine, southerly winds becoming southwesterly and increasing to around 10–15 mph, with gusts of 15–20 mph, and a high near 85. There is no rain in the forecast, making for an easy day for commutes, errands and outdoor plans.

Temperatures will climb through the 60s this morning and reach the low 80s by afternoon, with winds becoming southerly then southwesterly and increasing to around 10–15 mph, with gusts of 15–20 mph. Tuesday night will remain clear with a low near 63, while Wednesday brings another sunny day and a high near 88, according to the National Weather Service.

Weekend Heat Keeps Building

Thursday will stay sunny with a high near 87, followed by highs around 88 on Friday and Saturday. Sunday could reach 89 degrees, and Columbus Day on Monday is expected to be just as warm under sunny skies. The forecast stays dry into early next week.

Fog Risk Stays Mostly South Of Oklahoma City
