Oklahoma's having a cloudy and rainy day today but this weekend will be sunny with cooler temperatures.

It's either snowing or raining all across Oklahoma today, but the rain will move out this weekend for sun and cooler weather. The perfect day in Oklahoma is when it's sunny with temperatures in the 60s and that's what we'll be getting this weekend.

It'll start out chilly Saturday with temperatures in the low 50s but by the time we get to Sunday, temperatures will be up in the 60s for the perfect spring day.
