Oklahoma's Weekend Weather Whimsy: From Dense Fog to Soaking Rains

Well, folks, if you're planning on being out and about Saturday night across Oklahoma, especially in central parts of the state, you're really going to want to take it extra slow. We're looking at some pretty thick fog settling in, and honestly, visibility could drop significantly in a hurry. It's the kind of evening where you absolutely need to give yourself plenty of extra time and space on the roads, perhaps even considering putting off non-essential travel if it gets truly dense. Temperatures will be hovering right around the freezing mark in some of our northwestern counties too, so that's another thing to keep an eye on – a bit of patchy ice isn't entirely out of the question, making things even trickier.

As we roll into Sunday, expect a completely different vibe, weather-wise. That fog will eventually lift, which is good news for morning commuters, but in its place, we're anticipating rain – and a good bit of it, actually. The chances for precipitation will really start to climb as the morning progresses, becoming quite widespread across the region by the afternoon and into the evening hours. Don't be too surprised if you hear a rumble or two, as some isolated thunderstorms are certainly a possibility, though we're absolutely not expecting anything severe at all. Just your typical wet, dreary Sunday, perhaps perfect for curling up indoors with a good book or movie.

Temperatures for Sunday will be much milder than we've seen lately, mostly settling into the 40s and 50s. So, while it'll be wet, at least it won't be bitterly cold for most of us. Just remember to grab that umbrella before you head out, and if you're driving, be mindful of slick roads from all the moisture. It looks like Mother Nature is giving us a good soaking to kick off the new week, so be prepared for a bit of a soggy start!
