Oklahoma City has traded its mild stretch for a cold, soggy Sunday, with light rain and mist already in the mix before dawn. Gray skies will hold temperatures in the low-to-mid 40s, with a high near 44 and little relief from the damp chill.
Rain showers are expected to continue through the afternoon, especially near and south of the Oklahoma City metro, while an east wind around 9 mph keeps the day feeling raw. The National Weather Service in Norman expects another half to three-quarters of an inch of rain Sunday, making wet roads and reduced visibility the main concerns for drivers.
Rain Tapers Sunday Night
Showers should become more isolated after 9 p.m., then fade into mostly cloudy skies overnight. The low will settle near 41, with a 30% chance of showers Sunday night; earlier coverage had already warned that the weekend system was headed toward the city.
Sunshine Returns Before A Warmup
Monday brings low clouds and cool temperatures, with skies possibly breaking late near I-35 and a high near 54, followed by a milder Tuesday near 60 and Wednesday near 63. Temperatures could reach 67 Thursday and 70 Friday, although shower and thunderstorm chances return late Thursday into Friday before another chance of rain arrives Friday night and Saturday.
For now, Sunday is best suited to umbrellas, cautious driving and indoor plans. The National Weather Service says the broader pattern should turn warmer through the week, with a more significant front possible by next weekend, according to the Norman forecast office.
