Oklahoma City is starting Friday with clear skies and temperatures around 41 degrees, but the calm is temporary: sunshine will push the afternoon to 56 before a wet, chilly weekend arrives. The bigger change comes Saturday night, when rain becomes likely across the metro and continues into Sunday.
Friday stays dry and sunny, with an afternoon high near 56 and an east-northeast breeze around 7 mph. The National Weather Service in Norman says the cooler air will be noticeable after recent warmth, though no watches, warnings or advisories are posted for Oklahoma City.
Rain Moves In Saturday Night
Saturday starts mostly cloudy and mild, reaching about 57, with only a 20% chance of showers after noon. Rain chances jump Saturday night, when showers are expected and the chance of precipitation rises to 100%, with southeast winds around 13 mph and gusts up to 20 mph.
Sunday looks like the weekend's roughest day for outdoor plans: rain showers are likely, skies stay cloudy, and the high may struggle to reach 45. Forecasters expect most of the area to receive at least a quarter-inch of rain, with a narrower band potentially nearing 1 inch as the system crosses the southern Plains.
That is a sharper turn than the earlier weekend outlook, which had rain arriving Saturday night but described a lower-end rainfall scenario. The latest forecast points to a widespread rain event, with the wettest stretch running from Saturday night into early Sunday, as detailed in Hoodline's earlier coverage.
Dryer Weather And A Gradual Warm-Up
Rain should fade by Sunday night, although clouds linger and temperatures dip to around 36. Monday remains mostly cloudy with a high near 52, then partly sunny skies return Tuesday and Wednesday, when highs reach about 57 and 60; Thursday could climb to 66 with a slight chance of showers after noon.
Friday is the cleanest window for outdoor errands and events around Oklahoma City. Keep rain gear handy from Saturday evening through Sunday, and expect a rawer feel Sunday with rain and temperatures stuck in the 40s.
