Oklahoma Cold Weather Forecast: Temperatures Drop Into The 30s

If you haven't been watching the forecast, while it did change a little from when we first talked about it weeks ago, that deep plunge of cold fall air is hitting Oklahoma, and tomorrow morning is going to be downright cold.

The overnight low, even as far south as Altus, is going to dip into the upper 30s as we roll into Saturday.

It won't stay that cold, but we'll get a morning in long pants and jackets. Still, the rest of the day is going to be on the cool side too, a high in the upper 60s.

I realize you may be having ragweed issues at the moment, but even so, this really is the best time of the year. And more welcome than anything after a full three-month 100-degree-plus summer.

Looking ahead, while there are some warmer days still left before we get to permanent hoodie weather, it's looking great with daily highs in the 60s and 70s.

If you like to fish, the fall bite is in full force at the moment. We've been killing it at our secret fishing spots. Largemouths, spotted bass, even the tasty saugeye are on the hunt to fatten up before the water chills them out.

Don't forget, if you're in SWOK or willing to make the drive, Lawton's largest trunk-or-treat event is happening tomorrow night out at Southwest Toyota. It starts at 5:30, but people generally start lining up pretty early. No rush on it though... They never run out of candy. It's the best fall festival in Lawton. Hope to see you there.
