KOCO 5’s weather team is alerting Oklahoma City residents that rain is on its way. Meteorologist Joseph Neubauer reports a weather system moving eastward across western Oklahoma and expected to arrive in the city tonight, continuing into early Tuesday.
What to expect
The incoming moisture will bring scattered showers and light drizzle throughout the evening. Temperatures are expected to stay mild, with highs earlier in the day reaching the low 70s and nighttime lows holding in the mid‑60s. Residents should anticipate brief periods of cloud cover and occasional rain, but no severe weather is forecast.
Timing and coverage
Neubauer notes that the rain front will begin affecting the western suburbs shortly after sunset and will move into the central city area shortly after midnight. The precipitation is likely to taper off by early Tuesday morning, leaving behind a cooler, cloud‑filled sky.
Safety tips
While the rain is not expected to be heavy, drivers should exercise caution on wet road surfaces, especially on highways and rural routes where standing water can develop. It is advisable to keep headlights on and maintain a safe following distance.
