Oklahoma City woke to glittering raindrops and a veil of mist before sunrise Saturday, with fog muting headlights along I-35 and putting a damper on early tailgates. The soggy, gray kickoff to the weekend will gradually improve late Sunday, ushering in a warm, tranquil start to Halloween week.
The National Weather Service in Norman expects widespread showers through Saturday morning, with a few thunderstorms developing into the afternoon. Temperatures top out in the mid-60s, and gentle east-southeast breezes around 9 mph will accompany the rain. Showers and storms diminish Saturday night as the system slides east of the metro.
Sunday offers a more comfortable stretch, with highs near 68°F and lighter northerly winds. By Monday, classic fall returns: partly sunny skies and highs around 71°F make it the prime day for outdoor projects or travel before a weak front approaches midweek.
Drivers should be cautious early Saturday, with slick pavement and minor ponding possible on low-lying sections of I-40 and I-44. Event planners—from youth sports to autumn markets—could catch brief dry windows late Saturday afternoon before more consistent clearing takes hold overnight.
By Tuesday, the area settles into a mild, dry pattern with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s—ideal for setting out Halloween decorations or tackling yard cleanup ahead of trick-or-treating.
A chillier November is on the horizon, but for now, Oklahoma gets one more gentle stretch before the true cold arrives.
