What is the weather like in Oklahoma on Wednesday?

Expect 80s Wednesday afternoon, but rain chances go up, with storms expected to develop in the afternoon.

A cold front and dryline will first spark strong to severe storms across the northwest.

Storms will develop west of I-35 during the afternoon and march east into the evening. The OKC metro will experience severe storms from 8 to 10 p.m.

Much-needed rain returns with storms producing damaging wind, large hail, and isolated tornadoes.

Any storm that develops ahead of the dryline and cold front stands the highest chance for a tornado.

Fire danger and severe threat will max out later on Wednesday.

The severe threat will continue into the evening.

What is the weather like in Oklahoma for the rest of the week?

We turn much cooler on Thursday (Halloween) and Friday.

Halloween looks dry and cool. After the storm system moves out, expect a clear and pleasant day for trick-or-treating!

Temperatures will be in the mid-70s, with light winds making for a comfortable evening.

The weekend is shaping up to bring more rain into the forecast that could last through early next week.

Some locations could see two to four inches by Tuesday night.
