The Forecast for Wednesday, Oct. 30 in Oklahoma:
The main focus is on a line of strong to severe storms expected to form in western to north-central Oklahoma by late afternoon along a cold front, pushing southeast through the night with severe weather embedded until early Thursday morning.
The tornado risk will be moderate during the initial storms through the evening, with an increased focus on damaging winds and embedded spin-ups after midnight and into early Thursday.
Oklahoma's Halloween Forecast:
The extended Halloween forecast looks favorable, while Friday will bring much cooler weather.
Strong south winds of 20 to 35 mph will continue, with temperatures reaching the lower 80s. Following Wednesday's storms, clear and cooler conditions are anticipated for Thursday, with morning lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s and afternoon highs in the mid-60s.
Halloween evening will offer ideal conditions, with temperatures during peak trick-or-treating hours dipping into the 50s and winds gradually subsiding.
Looking Ahead:
However, rain and storms are expected to return by Saturday evening, lasting through Monday, with the potential for very heavy rainfall in a “training rain” event.
With projected rainfall over 4 inches in some areas, localized flooding could be a concern, though with currently dry lakes and rivers, significant flooding is unlikely.
