Oklahoma City is starting Thursday clear and mild, with temperatures around 61 degrees early and a high near 83. The warm, mostly sunny day will be the last easy stretch before rain chances ramp up overnight and turn Friday into a soggy one.
Rain Arrives After Midnight Friday
Showers could begin after 1 a.m. Friday, with a 40% chance overnight as clouds thicken. Friday brings showers and thunderstorms, a high near 70 and a 100% chance of precipitation, according to the National Weather Service in Norman.
Rain is expected to continue Friday night, when temperatures fall to about 57 and the chance of showers remains near 50%. The heaviest totals are favored west of Oklahoma City, with 0.75 to 1.5 inches most likely across western Oklahoma and into north-central Oklahoma through Saturday evening.
Halloween Weekend Looks Damp, Then Stormy Again
Saturday brings a 50% chance of showers, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 75, though conditions should gradually improve from west to east during the afternoon. That could leave Halloween plans dealing with wet sidewalks and occasional showers, rather than an all-day washout.
Sunday should be warmer at around 78 degrees but mostly cloudy, with another round of showers and thunderstorms possible Sunday night. Showers and thunderstorms are likely Monday, when the high may reach 74.
The Norman weather office says there may be low-end severe weather potential Monday into Monday night, but the timing, rainfall totals and storm strength remain uncertain. Behind that system, Tuesday turns cooler with a high near 66 and a chance of rain showers, while no watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed for Oklahoma City.
The latest forecast sharpens the timing from Hoodline's earlier Halloween forecast: Thursday is the day to enjoy the warmth, while Friday through Monday look increasingly unsettled.
