Every forecast across Central Oklahoma, highway-clear.
Official National Weather Service forecasts for the Oklahoma City metro — eight counties from downtown out along I-35, I-40 and I-44, from Edmond and Guthrie south to Norman and Purcell, west to El Reno and Chickasha and east to Shawnee.
Every Oklahoma region shares one system — the same maps, the same live radar, the same climate record. This is the most tornado-studied ground on earth. The dryline sets up west of the metro through the spring, the Norman forecast office and the Storm Prediction Center both sit inside these counties, and the May 3rd and Moore tracks are drawn across the same suburbs the forecast covers every afternoon.
