Oklahoma City woke Saturday to clear skies and a sharp autumn chill, with temperatures around 43 degrees early and a high near 59 expected by afternoon. The air should stay dry and sunny, while morning north winds ease from the brisk conditions that rattled the city Friday.
Clear Saturday, Colder Night Ahead
The National Weather Service office in Norman forecasts sunny skies Saturday with north-northeast winds of just 1 to 5 mph and no rain. Tonight will stay mostly clear, with temperatures dropping to around 39 degrees and light winds.
Some sheltered, low-lying spots in central Oklahoma could see patchy frost overnight. Forecasters say the frost risk is not widespread enough for an advisory in the Oklahoma City area, though freeze and frost alerts remain in effect elsewhere across northern and western Oklahoma.
Warmup Starts Sunday
Sunday brings a noticeable rebound, with sunshine and a high near 65. South winds could gust as high as 21 mph, so outdoor plans may feel breezy even as temperatures climb.
Monday reaches around 70 degrees under mostly sunny skies. That warmer turn follows Friday's windy cold-front setup, which Hoodline reported was setting up the weekend's cooler start.
October Heat Builds Later In The Week
The forecast keeps trending warmer from Tuesday through Friday, with highs near 76, 81, 83 and 83 degrees, respectively. Skies should remain mostly sunny to sunny, and rain chances stay near zero through Thursday.
Friday night brings the first meaningful wrinkle: a slight chance of rain showers after 1 a.m. Otherwise, the week ahead looks like a steady march from jacket weather in the morning to short-sleeve afternoons by late October standards.
