We hit at least 80 degrees at each of Oklahoma City, Lawton, and Wichita Falls today. That puts us at 11 out of 21 days at 80+ so far this October in OKC. The long-term average is 10 days of 80+ weather, but we generally have beaten that in recent years.

So far, the high in OKC is 80 F...but on this date in 1978, the temperature warmed to 90 degrees in Oklahoma City, which became a record high temperature for October 21. In 2004, this record was tied.

Rain chances will increase later this weekend into early next week. Impactful rainfall is not likely with this activity. Most locations may see up to an inch through Monday.

Warm and mostly dry to close out the week before rain chances return over the weekend, especially across western portions of Oklahoma. Temperatures look to slide back towards normal late October readings into next week. #okwx #texomawx

4:30 AM - Scattered showers continue across northern Oklahoma this morning. New rainfall amounts will remain quite light, less than 0.1 inch for most. Activity is expected to gradually diminish across north-central Oklahoma after sunrise. #okwx

Scattered rain showers continue across northern Oklahoma as we roll on into Wednesday. Outside of the potential for a few lightning strikes, minimal impact or new rainfall accumulation is expected early this morning. #okwx

You probably saw some "jellyfish clouds" with wispy rain shafts under them today. That's because we have a deep moist layer between about 10,000 and 20,000 feet above us (purple oval). The very dry layer (brown oval) right below it caused the rain to mostly evaporate.

Love the photo. Cool rainbow, very scenic foreground. You can see one of the elevated showers we've had this afternoon causing the rainbow with the wispy streaks of rain falling out of the cloud above. Because of dry air, little of this rain is reaching the ground.

Big rises at Hefner, Overholser, and Arcadia from the recent rains. Not too bad for Altus-Lugert and Fort Cobb, either!

4 PM - Showers and a few thunderstorms are ongoing west of I-35 this afternoon. Lightning will be the main concern with this activity.

230 PM - Showers and a few storms are ongoing west of I-35 this afternoon. The main concern with this activity will be lightning.

Latest radar loop shows a few light showers this morning, south of Enid and near Guthrie and Stillwater. This activity is lifting of to the northeast and should exit our area within the next 1 to 2 hours. #okwx #texomawx

This will be the last day of seasonable temperatures for many locations through at least next weekend. A few sprinkles are possible this morning and again tomorrow morning. Rain chances return this weekend, mainly across western OK and adjacent north TX. #okwx #texomawx

10/20 445 AM - Radar is picking up on scattered shower activity early this morning, though it's not telling the whole story. Dry air below the clouds is preventing much more than sprinkles from reaching the ground. Activity should diminish through the morning. #okwx #txwx

Warming trend continues Tuesday. #okwx #texomawx

Although the radars are picking up some light echoes, much if not all of this is evaporating before it hits the ground. A few sprinkles will be possible overnight across western and northwest OK. #okwx #texomawx

Rain chances return to our area late Friday and into early next week. For now, the bulk of the rain appears to stay west of our forecast area. However, there is a medium chance at least over northwest Oklahoma on Saturday. #okwx #texomawx

The warming trend continues today with afternoon highs expected to be a few degrees warmer than yesterday. These highs will be close to normal for this time of year. Partly cloudy skies and south to southeast winds are also expected today. Have a good Monday! #okwx #txwx

At 2:25 AM, temperatures range from the upper 40s to mid 50s. These temperatures are anywhere from around 5 to almost 15 degrees F warmer than they were at this time yesterday. Temperatures are expected to fall into the 40s to around 50 by sunrise Monday. #okwx #txwx

A bit milder tonight as south winds have returned and will aid in keeping temperatures warmer tonight. #okwx #texomawx
