Enjoy Super Oklahoma Weather And Supermoon On Sunday

After one of the coldest mornings of the fall so far, sunshine will begin to work its magic and bring us a nice warm-up for our Sunday!

Areas of passing clouds are expected during the day, but they shouldn’t do too much to slow our warming trend today. A return to a south breeze will help us thaw out nicely by the afternoon, with highs climbing back into the mid 60s.

With that light south breeze around into the overnight hours, we won’t start off nearly as frigid Monday morning, with lows holding up mainly in the 40s as opposed to the near-freezing lows we’ve had this weekend.

Mostly clear skies are also expected tonight, meaning we should have great conditions to view tonight’s “Supermoon” over eastern Oklahoma! Of course it will be visible all night, but the best times to observe it are a little after sunset Sunday, and between 5:30am-6:15am Monday when it’s closest to the horizon.

A very weak boundary will shift our winds from the south back to the northwest on Monday, but it will have very little impact on temperatures. Areas of passing clouds are once again expected Monday with warmer afternoon highs around the 70 degree mark to kick off the work week!

Those above normal Monday temperatures are just the start of a noticeable warming trend that will last through most of the work week. Lows are expected to hold in the 40s from Tuesday into Wednesday, with highs climbing further into the 70s as south winds increase.

Those south winds will be howling by late Wednesday into Thursday, with some gusts of 30 to 40 miles per hour possible! Combined with highs well above normal in the upper 70s and low relative humidity, this could lead to elevated fire danger by Wednesday and particularly on Thursday.

A strong storm system is still on track for the end of the week, with a strong cold front due into Green Country sometime on Friday bringing a brief chance of storms. The exact timing of this cold front is still up in the air, but we will see a significant drop in temperatures along with a return to a northwest wind Friday into next Saturday.
