Urgent Freeze Warning Issued for Central and Western Oklahoma

UPDATE: A significant freeze warning has been issued for Thursday morning, October 29, 2025, across Central and Western Oklahoma. Residents are urged to take immediate action to protect sensitive plants, as widespread frost and freezing temperatures are expected.

Forecasts predict lows in Oklahoma City between 30 to 35 degrees, with heavy frost and light winds.

Experts emphasize that those living in Western Oklahoma should prepare for even colder conditions, with a freeze highly likely. Residents are reminded to cover plants, bring in outdoor furniture, and take precautions against the cold to avoid damage.

As temperatures plunge, the potential impact on local crops and flowers could be significant, affecting both home gardeners and commercial farmers. Meteorologist Mike has highlighted the urgency of this weather event, urging families to act quickly to safeguard their plants.

What to do: If you haven’t already, now is the time to bring in any potted plants and cover outdoor vegetation. The frost may linger into the morning hours, so wait until temperatures rise to assure safety for your gardens.
