Fall Weather Arrives: A Blustery, Wet Pattern Developing For The Weekend

What is the weather like in Oklahoma on Friday?

Temps are expected to drop behind the frontal passage as north winds bring cooler weather into the area. The metro showed temps in the lower 70s Friday morning, but temps dropped into the lower 50s by the early afternoon. They should drop again into the upper 40s Friday night. Locations along and south of I-40 will drop into the lower 60s this afternoon and then into the lower 50s around sunset.

After the front clears out the area on Friday, most showers and storms will be across the Red River Valley region later tonight. We anticipate dry conditions for most of tonight across the northern areas of the state.

What Will the Weather Be Like This Weekend?

The exact position of the stalling front holds the key to temperatures for Saturday, but we expect a very chilly and occasionally wet day for most of the area on Saturday and an even colder Sunday.

Weekend Outlook 10-28/29

The front is expected to stall across the Red River Valley tonight and may nudge slightly northward Saturday morning through midday, mostly still south of the I-40 corridor.

Saturday morning lows will be in the 40s for most of the area. The main upper-level long wave trough will keep a strong southwest flow atop the cooler air at the surface resulting in periods of overrunning precipitation.

Locations near and slightly north of the surface boundary may see some thunder also mixed in with the showers. No severe weather will occur, but some pockets of moderate to occasionally heavy downpours will be possible Saturday near this boundary.

Due to recent rainfall in these areas, southeastern OK will be monitored for some localized flooding issues. No flood watches are posted currently for this region.

More northward, the overrunning precipitation may not be quite as heavy. After some spotty showers during the early morning hours, precipitation will gradually increase to higher coverage midday into the afternoon and evening hours.

High temps across northern OK may stay in the upper 40s and lower 50s. Locations along the I-40 corridor will be in the mid-50s, with far southeastern OK in the 60s.

A strong Canadian surface ridge of high pressure builds across the northern high plains Saturday evening and expands southward bringing even colder air into the state Sunday.

What is the Forecast for Sunday?

This is effectively another cold front. North winds at 20 to 30 mph will be likely with temperatures staying in the lower 40s through Sunday morning and dropping into the upper 30s by afternoon. Wind chill values are expected to drop into the upper 20s by Sunday afternoon and evening.

The main upper air long wave trough will continue to bring southwest flow over the colder air mass resulting in a saturated layer. This will bring precipitation to a large area for most of the day. At times this may be in the form of drizzle and other times cold light showers.

Locations across far northwestern OK into southwestern Kansas may be cold enough for some light wintry precipitation Sunday, but not across our northeastern sections of the state. The trough will exit the area Sunday evening quickly taking precip out of the area.

Sunday Wind Chill

As the clouds clear Sunday evening, temps will drop into the upper 20s and lower 30s by Monday morning prompting the possibility of a freeze or frost across the northern sections of the state.

Sunshine and highs in the upper 40s north and lower 50s south will remain for the afternoon with north winds at 10 to 15 mph. Excellent radiational cooling is likely to occur Monday night bringing cold air.

Many locations will drop in the mid and upper 20s followed by highs in the lower 50s Tuesday afternoon. Another front is possible Tuesday evening. Another area of freezing temps, possibly in the lower 20s in some valleys, with the metro in the mid to upper 20s, will be followed by highs Tuesday afternoon in the upper 40s and lower 50s.

Trick-or-treating hours will be cold, mostly in the 40s, but with light north winds and dry weather.

Oklahoma State Offers 2026 Bixby DB Braeden Presley

Oklahoma State Offers 2026 Bixby DB Braeden Presley

The stark reality of the Cowboys future on the gridiron is up in the air. Can Oklahoma State bounce back in 2025 following one of the worst football seasons in years? Will the Pokes return next season and play with a chip on their shoulder? Only time will tell and the best way to improve the football team is for the coaching staff to hit the recruiting trail hard.

Oklahoma State will say goodbye to one of the greatest statistical wide receivers to ever wear the Cowboy orange. Senior Brennan Presley has been the cornerstone of the receiving core for the past four seasons. He is the all-time receptions leader in Oklahoma State history and has caught more than two passes in nearly every game since his sophomore season.

The offense won’t be the same in 2025 with Presley snagging catches across the middle, but the fans of Cowboy football won’t have to wait long as a familiar name will be entering the mix straight out of the class of 2026.

On Thursday, Oklahoma State looked to make it the Presley trifecta when they offered the youngest of the bunch, 2026 Bixby star Braeden Presley. Older brothers Brennan and Braylin both committed to Oklahoma State out of high school. Brennan hung around to become the all-time receptions leader in school history while Braylin transferred to Tulsa.

Braeden is the biggest brother of the bunch and measures in at 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, according to 247Sports. He is unranked at the moment but still has a full season of football yet to play. The interest continues to grow for Braeden who has drawn offers from Tulsa, Boston College and Kansas.

Oklahoma State joined the mix on Thursday and is hoping to use its family ties to lock up their third straight Presley. Little is known about Presley on the field, and he has proven this season that he is a jack of all trades. He has logged a rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown and passing touchdown this season for the Spartans of Bixby.

A majority of his highlights have come on the defensive side of the football. He has 27 tackles, three interceptions and a forced fumble in 2024 for a Bixby team who is searching for yet another Class 5A State Championship.

The fans of Oklahoma State football may not have to wait very long to have a Presley once again under the lights of Boone Pickens Stadium.
