Wednesday's forecast calls for a sunny climb to around 89 degrees, turning the first full week of October into something that feels more like late summer.
Wednesday is expected to bring light southerly winds veering south-southwest as the city warms.
Sunny, Dry Weather Holds Through Monday
The National Weather Service expects highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s through the end of the week, with Sunday and Monday potentially slightly hotter, and overnight lows of 66 and 65 degrees for the first two forecast nights. The NWS calls for dry weather over the weekend.
The pattern extends the warm, dry stretch highlighted in an earlier Hoodline forecast, while the newest outlook keeps temperatures roughly 10 degrees above normal for early October. South to southwest winds will become more noticeable by Sunday and Monday, reaching about 8 to 14 mph during the day.
Rain Finally Appears On Tuesday
The next rain chance is expected Tuesday into midweek, and Tuesday's high is near 85 degrees. The rain and storm chance Tuesday is 20%, so most of the day still looks sunny, but the shift marks a likely break in the heat.
Forecasters with the National Weather Service say rain and storm chances could increase Tuesday night into midweek as a system moves through, with cooler temperatures following. For now, Oklahoma City’s weather story is simple: sunshine, dry sidewalks and several more days of heat before the pattern begins to turn.
