Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Oklahoma Weather Podcast — it's Thursday, February 26th. Forty-nine degrees right now. Clear skies. And by this afternoon? Mid-70s statewide. That's a 38 degrees-degree jump in a single day. Central Oklahoma climbs to 73 degrees this afternoon. Sunny skies and a light north breeze at 6 to 10 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 46 under mostly clear skies. Northeast Oklahoma hits 72 today. Light winds make it feel even milder. Tonight's low settles at 44. Southwest Oklahoma takes the crown. You're looking at 76 degrees this afternoon with gusts up to 20 miles an hour. Tonight holds at 45. Friday keeps the heat rolling. Highs reach 76 in central Oklahoma, 79 in the northeast. And 78 in the southwest. More sun. More spring vibes. Saturday is the peak. We're talking 82 to 84 degrees across the state. That's near-record territory for late February.. And about 38 degrees above normal. But here's the catch. A cold front arrives Saturday night. Showers and thunderstorms become likely, especially in central and eastern Oklahoma. Sunday cools back into the 60s with rain chances continuing. Next week brings a real pattern shift. Multiple rounds of rain and storms are possible Tuesday into Wednesday. Temperatures return closer to seasonal norms. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. Sunrise this morning was at 7:05. Sunset tonight comes at 6:23. Spring equinox is just three weeks away. Today's the day to get outside. Take a walk at lunch. Open the windows tonight. This kind of February warmth doesn't stick around. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Oklahoma Weather Podcast — it's Wednesday, February 25th. Fifty degrees right now. That's not a typo. And it's not even close to done climbing. We're about to flip winter the bird. Highs today hit the mid to upper 70s — that's 42 degrees warmer than normal for late February. Spring equinox is still three weeks out, but the weather clearly didn't get the memo. Central Oklahoma starts you at 47 degrees around 8 A.M. By 5 P.M., you're sitting at 76. Winds flip from east-northeast to north-northeast around 7 A.M., staying light all day. Mostly sunny skies overhead. Southwest Oklahoma wakes up at 45 degrees around 7 A.M. You peak at 78 degrees by 3 P.M. — the warmest spot in the state. Winds shift from east-southeast to north-northeast around 6 A.M. Northeast Oklahoma sits at 49 degrees around 6 A.M. You climb to 75 degrees by 4 P.M. Winds stay gentle, shifting from east to southeast around 5 P.M. Tonight, lows settle in the upper 40s under partly cloudy skies. Thursday keeps the party going — sunny with highs in the low to mid 70s. Your week ahead looks wild. Temperatures keep climbing through Saturday. We're talking highs near 80 degrees in some spots. The last day of February will feel like April. But a cold front crashes the party Saturday night. Rain chances return Sunday and stick around into early next week. Temperatures cool back down behind that front. Sunrise this morning hit at 7:06. Sunset's at 6:22. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. Between that and today's warmth, winter's officially on life support. Crack a window. Take a walk at lunch. This is the good stuff. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Oklahoma Weather Podcast — it's Tuesday, February 24th. Step outside right now and you'll feel 45 degrees of calm. . Because today's about to get loud. We're under a Red Flag Warning across nearly the entire state. Wind gusts hit 35 miles an hour, turning dry grass into a matchstick waiting for a spark. No outdoor burning today. Period. Central Oklahoma wakes up at 42 degrees around 5 A.M., but that wind makes it feel like 34. By 4 P.M., you're hitting 71 degrees under full sun. Those south-southwest winds howl at 15 to 22 miles an hour, gusting to 33 around 9 A.M. Tonight stays mild at 47, but the fire danger doesn't quit. Northeast Oklahoma starts even colder — 35 degrees at 5 A.M., feeling like 34. Winds shift from south to southwest around 11 A.M., gusting to 35 degrees as temps climb to 71 by afternoon. Overnight you drop to 46, but humidity stays dangerously low. Southwest Oklahoma? The wind's already cranking — 13 miles an hour overnight, gusting to 23 by 11 A.M. You start at 37 degrees, feeling like 35 degrees, but rocket to 76 by 4 P.M. Tonight dips to 45, but those gusts keep the fire threat alive. Here's your week ahead. We're locked into warm, windy. And dry through Saturday. Highs climb into the mid-70s — even 82 in the southwest by Friday. Then Sunday brings relief. A cold front sweeps in, dropping temps to the 60s and finally bringing a slight chance of rain. Northeast Oklahoma could see scattered showers Sunday into Monday. If you're traveling today, watch for sudden crosswinds on I-35 and I-40. Secure anything loose outside. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Oklahoma Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd. Twenty-eight degrees right now. Clear skies. Dead calm. The kind of morning where frost glitters on windshields like broken glass. But don't let the freeze fool you. This is the last gasp of winter. A high-pressure system that's been squatting over north Texas all weekend is finally packing its bags and sliding southeast. And as it goes, everything flips. Those light easterly winds? They're about to swing south, pulling warmer air north like a blanket sliding up the bed. By four PM, Central Oklahoma hits fifty-four degrees. Southwest Oklahoma climbs to fifty-seven under pure sunshine. Even Northeast Oklahoma, always the stubborn cold spot, reaches forty-nine. That's a twenty-six-degree jump from where you started this morning. Tonight? Forget about the freeze. Lows drop only to forty-one in Central Oklahoma. Thirty-seven in the southwest. Mid-thirties in the northeast. That's warmer than this morning's high. Then Tuesday arrives. And things get wild. A deepening low in the High Plains cranks up the winds. Gusts hit thirty-two miles an hour in Central Oklahoma. Thirty in the southwest. And with those winds comes heat — real heat. Highs soar into the seventies statewide. Seventy-one in Central. Seventy-five in the southwest. Seventy in the northeast. That's fifteen degrees above normal for late February. But here's the catch. All that warmth and wind, combined with bone-dry air, creates fire weather conditions. Don't burn anything Tuesday. Just don't. The warmth hangs around through midweek. A weak front Wednesday night might bring a sprinkle up north, but nothing serious. Thursday cools briefly to the mid-sixties before another warm-up Friday. Weekend highs stay in the seventies, with just a slight shower chance late Saturday. Spring is knocking. And it's not taking no for an answer. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Oklahoma Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. Step outside right now and you'll feel 32 degrees of pure winter calm. Clear skies, quiet air, the kind of morning where your breath hangs in front of you. But this is the last cold breath before Oklahoma flips the script entirely. Today's simple. Sunshine takes over statewide, pushing Oklahoma City to 50 degrees by 5 PM. Lawton climbs to 55 around 4 PM. Tulsa tops out at 49 by 3 PM. Classic late-February warmth under cloudless skies. Tonight? The freeze returns hard. Lows crash to 24 in Oklahoma City, 23 in Tulsa, 25 in Lawton. But it's the feels-like temps that'll get you — Oklahoma City drops to 20 degrees, Tulsa to 19, Lawton to 22. That's the kind of cold that makes your car groan when you turn the key. Then Monday kicks off the warmup. Highs rebound to the mid-50s. But Tuesday? That's when things get wild. We're talking a 20-degree jump overnight. Oklahoma City hits 71. Lawton soars to 75. Tulsa reaches 70. Winds gust to 25 miles an hour. And the National Weather Service is already eyeing fire danger — skip the outdoor burning that day. Here's your week ahead. Wednesday peaks in the mid-70s to near 80 across Southwest Oklahoma — that's 20 degrees above normal. Thursday brings a cold front, but highs still hang in the 60s and 70s. Friday? Back to 76 in Lawton, 74 in Oklahoma City. Another front might cool things next weekend, or it mightn't. The models are still fighting about it. Bottom line: soak in today's chill, because by midweek, we're flirting with May. One quick thing. If this forecast helped you plan your Sunday, share it with a friend who could use the heads-up. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Oklahoma Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Folks, winter's got one more card to play this weekend. Step outside right now and you'll feel it. The whole state is locked in the low 30s. Not dramatic cold. Just that stubborn, gray, "where did I put my gloves" kind of morning. Here's the deal. Central Oklahoma is sitting at 33 degrees with north winds around 9 miles an hour. You'll top out near 35 today. That's it. Barely moves the needle. Tonight drops into the mid 20s, so if you're heading to dinner, bundle up. Drive northeast toward Tulsa and you're a hair warmer at 35 degrees. Don't get excited though. Northeast winds at 10 miles an hour steal that right back. Highs stay mid 30s. Lows tonight settle into the upper 20s. Now the cold spot. Southwest Oklahoma woke up at 32 degrees. North winds at 8 miles an hour. Highs struggle to reach 34. That's the kind of day where your truck takes an extra few seconds to turn over. One bright spot? We gained almost three minutes of daylight today. Sunrise hit at 6:32, sunset stretches to 5:20. Spring is sneaking closer whether winter likes it or not. Air quality sits moderate today. If you're sensitive, maybe keep that jog short. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Sunday starts the thaw. Temperatures climb into the 40s by midweek. No big storms lurking, but there's a slight chance of drizzle sneaking in around Wednesday. The real story is that warming trend. We're turning a corner. Alright. If this forecast helped you plan your Saturday, share it with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps us going. Stay warm out there, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Step outside this morning and you'll feel something unfamiliar. Comfort. No ice scraper needed. No wind slapping you awake. Just a mild February morning easing into a beautiful day. Southwest Oklahoma is the warm kid in class today, climbing to 54 degrees with a gentle southeast breeze. That's the kind of afternoon where you crack the truck windows and enjoy it. Drive northeast toward Tulsa and you'll lose a few degrees. Up there you're topping out around 48 with a northeast wind keeping things honest. Oklahoma City splits the difference right at 50 degrees. Tonight stays cozy by February standards. Lows settle into the upper 30s to low 40s statewide. No frost. No drama. Just easy sleeping weather. Now here's your heads up for the weekend and beyond. Saturday brings sunshine and mid 50s across most of the state. Southwest Oklahoma flirts with 60 degrees. Sunday holds steady, though a weak front might shave a couple degrees off. Into next week, we ride this dry, mild pattern straight toward March. Highs hang in the 50s, lows mostly in the 30s. No storms lurking. Just a slow, steady warm up that feels like winter finally loosening its grip. Quick note on air quality. It's moderate today, so if you're sensitive, maybe keep the jog short. And here's something to smile about. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every single day now. Sunrise at 6:33, sunset at 5:18. The light is coming back, folks. Alright.
