"Oklahoma falls within the Texas and Oklahoma region in the Old Farmer's Almanac forecast. The outlook calls for above-normal temperatures across the state, with the coldest stretches likely to occur in mid-December, early and late January, and early February."
"Precipitation will trend below normal across most of Oklahoma, setting the stage for a drier-than-average winter. Snowfall is also expected to be below normal, though the Almanac notes a small chance for an early northern snow in mid-November. After that, residents can expect long stretches of mild, pleasant weather that feel more like extended fall."
"This combination of warmth and dryness should make winter travel easier and help keep energy costs manageable. Still, brief cold spells are possible-especially in northern and central parts of the state-so homeowners are encouraged to keep pipes insulated and heating systems serviced before the season's chill arrives."
Forecasts predict a mostly mild, drier-than-average winter across Oklahoma with above-normal temperatures statewide and brief cold snaps in mid-December, early and late January, and early February. Precipitation and snowfall are expected to be below normal, with a small chance of an early northern snow in mid-November. Long stretches of mild, fall-like weather are likely after that. Warmth and dryness should ease winter travel and help keep energy costs manageable. Homeowners are advised to prepare in November by testing and re-batterying smoke detectors, insulating pipes, and servicing heating systems to handle intermittent cold spells and holiday guests.
