Oklahoma City woke to fog and mist Wednesday morning, but the gray start should clear before 9 a.m. Veterans Day is then expected to turn sunny, with temperatures rising to around 70 degrees and a light northwest breeze. The quick switch from low visibility to blue skies sets up one of the warmer days before a cooler stretch arrives.
Fog Gives Way To A Sunny Veterans Day
At about 5:52 a.m., the Oklahoma City station reported fog and mist, a temperature of 51.1°F and visibility of 4 miles. The National Weather Service forecast calls for patchy fog before 9 a.m., followed by sunshine. A cold front is expected to shift winds to the north, with light west-northwest winds after sunset.
Wednesday night should be clear, with a low near 47 degrees. Thursday stays sunny and reaches about 68 degrees, but another cool-down follows Thursday night as temperatures dip to around 41.
Cooler Friday, Wetter Weekend
Friday looks sunny but noticeably cooler, with a high near 58 and light winds. Saturday should remain partly sunny, topping out around 60, although southerly winds will return.
The next meaningful rain chance arrives Saturday night, when showers are likely and the low settles near 43. Sunday is expected to bring mostly cloudy skies and rain showers, a 20% to 40% chance of at least half an inch of rainfall and a high around 52.
Showers could linger into Sunday night, then early Monday brings a dry period and gradual warming. For outdoor plans in Oklahoma City, Wednesday afternoon and Thursday offer the clearest window before the weekend's cooler, wetter pattern takes over.
