A five-day severe weather period is bearing down on Oklahoma City starting Thursday, and the timing couldn't be more disruptive. The city is coming out of an unusually dry, quiet May start.
Through Wednesday, the pattern looks almost deceptively calm. Highs climb into the upper eighties to low nineties with mostly sunny skies and a south breeze pushing warm air in from the Gulf.
Thursday is when the pattern breaks. The frontal boundary collides with that warm, unstable air and the first round of storm chances arrives.
Saturday offers a brief pause before the next push. Most of the day stays relatively quiet with highs in the eighties and noticeably lighter winds.
Sunday morning brings the most concentrated impact on the holiday weekend. Rain and thunderstorms are expected to be widespread, carrying over from Saturday night's system and continuing into Mother's Day itself.
For the rest of this week, the practical priorities are straightforward. Enjoy the warmth through Wednesday knowing it's borrowed time.
