Oklahoma Weather: 02-22-2026

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Oklahoma Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. Step outside right now and you'll feel 32 degrees of pure winter calm. Clear skies, quiet air, the kind of morning where your breath hangs in front of you. But this is the last cold breath before Oklahoma flips the script entirely. Today's simple. Sunshine takes over statewide, pushing Oklahoma City to 50 degrees by 5 PM. Lawton climbs to 55 around 4 PM. Tulsa tops out at 49 by 3 PM. Classic late-February warmth under cloudless skies. Tonight? The freeze returns hard. Lows crash to 24 in Oklahoma City, 23 in Tulsa, 25 in Lawton. But it's the feels-like temps that'll get you — Oklahoma City drops to 20 degrees, Tulsa to 19, Lawton to 22. That's the kind of cold that makes your car groan when you turn the key. Then Monday kicks off the warmup. Highs rebound to the mid-50s. But Tuesday? That's when things get wild. We're talking a 20-degree jump overnight. Oklahoma City hits 71. Lawton soars to 75. Tulsa reaches 70. Winds gust to 25 miles an hour. And the National Weather Service is already eyeing fire danger — skip the outdoor burning that day. Here's your week ahead. Wednesday peaks in the mid-70s to near 80 across Southwest Oklahoma — that's 20 degrees above normal. Thursday brings a cold front, but highs still hang in the 60s and 70s. Friday? Back to 76 in Lawton, 74 in Oklahoma City. Another front might cool things next weekend, or it mightn't. The models are still fighting about it. Bottom line: soak in today's chill, because by midweek, we're flirting with May. One quick thing. If this forecast helped you plan your Sunday, share it with a friend who could use the heads-up. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
