Oklahoma City started Saturday clear and near 37 degrees, but the calm is on borrowed time. Clouds will thicken through the day, temperatures should reach about 54, and a few showers may develop after 3 p.m. The bigger change arrives Saturday night, when rain becomes widespread across the metro.
Rain Builds Saturday Night
The National Weather Service in Norman expects rain chances to climb sharply Saturday evening, with a 100% chance of showers overnight and a low near 40. New rainfall amounts could reach a quarter to half an inch, while the broader system is expected to bring measurable rain across the area. That is a wetter update than Hoodline’s earlier outlook, which had already flagged the weekend turn but with less certainty about the event’s reach.
Sunday Turns Chilly And Thoroughly Wet
Sunday looks like the weekend’s rough stretch for errands, outdoor plans and anyone hoping to avoid soggy shoes. Rain showers are expected throughout the day, with cloudy skies, an east-southeast wind near 10 mph and a high only around 46 degrees. Rain should begin tapering from northwest to southeast around midday, although lingering showers could continue into Sunday evening.
The heaviest rainfall is more likely south of Interstate 40, where some areas could approach an inch, while locations north of the highway may receive less. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Oklahoma City in the current forecast.
A Brief Warm-Up Follows
Monday brings a partial break, with partly sunny skies and a high near 54, followed by mostly sunny conditions and highs around 59 Tuesday and 62 Wednesday. The next rain chances return late Wednesday night and Thursday, with Thursday’s high near 66 and Friday’s near 69. In other words, the weekend gets the rain, but the workweek starts trying to smooth things over.
