Oklahoma City is starting Sunday with clear skies and temperatures in the low 40s, but the jacket weather will not last. Sunshine should push the city to about 64 degrees this afternoon, setting up a steady warmup that reaches around 80 by Thursday. Rain is largely staying off the schedule.
The National Weather Service in Norman says south to southwest winds will increase at several forecast sites Sunday. Sunday night should remain mostly clear with a low near 46, making for a comfortable evening once the sun goes down.
Sunny Sunday Leads Into A Steady Warmup
Monday looks sunny with a high near 68, followed by mostly sunny skies and a high around 72 Tuesday. The week then keeps climbing, with temperatures near 77 Wednesday and 80 Thursday.
The latest outlook keeps the same dry warmup described in Saturday's forecast, though the middle of the week now looks a little less hot than the earlier projection. In practical terms, Oklahoma City is moving from chilly mornings to short-sleeve afternoons in just a few days.
Rain Takes A Back Seat
Friday should stay mostly sunny near 80 degrees. Next weekend, precipitation chances are 20% to 30% in western and northwestern Oklahoma.
No active weather alerts are listed for the city. Sunday is a good outdoor-weather day if you dress for the cool start, while anyone planning a longer outing should be ready for a noticeably warmer afternoon.
