Oklahoma Weather Forecast for May Thirty-First, Twenty Twenty-Four and Beyond

By: News On Six

Hold onto your hats, Oklahoma! We’re wrapping up May with a classic dose of unpredictable spring weather. But hey, at least it keeps things interesting, right? Let’s dive into the forecast and see what Mother Nature has in store for us.

Get ready for another round of scattered showers and storms throughout the day on Friday. The good news? They shouldn’t be as widespread as what we saw on Thursday. Think of it as a slightly less dramatic encore performance.

Keep a particularly close eye on the sky if you’re in far northeastern Oklahoma. That’s where the heavier storms are most likely to rumble through during the afternoon. We’re talkin’ potential for gusty winds and maybe even some localized flooding. So, you know, maybe leave the kayak in the garage for now.

On the bright side (literally!), temperatures on Friday will be downright pleasant. Expect highs in the upper seventies, which is pretty much the Goldilocks zone of Oklahoma spring weather. If you’re lucky enough to be west of Tulsa, you might even squeeze out a few extra degrees of warmth. Jealous.

Deep breaths, everyone. Saturday is shaping up to be wayyy more chill than Friday. We’re anticipating quieter weather across the board. Those storms that might be hanging out in western Oklahoma late Friday night? They’ll probably fizzle out before they can crash the party in eastern Oklahoma.

Picture this: sunshine, blue skies, and highs in the lower to mid-eighties. It’s the kind of Saturday that practically begs you to fire up the grill, invite some friends over, and soak up some vitamin D. You deserve it after that wild Friday, am I right?

Okay, so maybe Mother Nature couldn’t resist throwing us one more curveball. While Saturday is looking pretty darn near perfect, Sunday brings a slight chance of storm complexes moving south into Green Country during the morning. It’s not a guarantee, but it’s something to keep on your radar, especially if you had ambitious plans for a leisurely Sunday brunch on the patio.

Buckle up, buttercups, because the first few days of June are looking a tad…active. We’re talking off-and-on storms (particularly in the mornings, because why not?) from June second through the fourth. It’s like Mother Nature’s way of reminding us that she’s still in charge, even though summer is technically just around the corner.

And speaking of summer, get ready for those temperatures to start creeping up there. We’re talking warmer days and higher humidity, which can only mean one thing: heat indices poised to climb into the nineties. Yep, it’s time to break out the sunscreen, wide-brimmed hats, and maybe even invest in one of those fancy misting fans. You know, for purely practical reasons.

Power Outages

Okay, let’s be real for a second. With all this talk of storms and gusty winds, we have to acknowledge the possibility of power outages. It’s not something any of us want to think about, but it’s always a good idea to be prepared, just in case.

To help you stay one step ahead, we’ve rounded up links to outage maps for all the major power companies and electric cooperatives in Northeast Oklahoma. Bookmark these bad boys, and you’ll be able to check on the status of any outages in your area faster than you can say “Where’d my phone charger go?”
