Plenty of sunshine. High: 63 Low: 42.

Here are the top 3 stories in Oklahoma City today:

1. Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt was re-elected to a second term in Tuesday's general election. More than 60,000 residents voted in the election, where Holt received 59.8 percent of the vote. The 36,338 votes for the mayor were more than any candidate for the post has received since 1959. (Press Release Desk)
2. A toddler is recovering after falling out of a fourth-story window at an Oklahoma City hotel. The incident occurred last Wednesday at the Fairfield Inn, where the safety lock on the window was accidentally disengaged, allowing the 2-year-old boy to fall out of it. The child was quickly transported to the hospital and sustained no broken bones or head injuries. (news9.com KWTV)
