Sunday morning, March 1, 2026, Oklahoma City woke to clear skies and a mild 57°F at Will Rogers World Airport, with noticeable northeast winds. The calm will not last. Showers and a growing chance of thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and into the evening across central and southern Oklahoma. A few storms could become strong, producing heavy rain, rapidly changing winds and brief hail that could easily disrupt evening plans.
Afternoon Storm Risk
Skies turn partly to mostly cloudy, with a high near 72°F and scattered rain chances after about 9 a.m. The better shot at thunderstorms comes late this afternoon and evening. According to the National Weather Service in Norman, storms along and south of the I-44 corridor could produce large hail (up to roughly half-dollar size), damaging straight-line winds near 60 mph, and locally heavy rainfall. If you have outdoor activities, it is a good day to keep one eye on the sky and the other on radar.
