There is a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms across the northern half of Oklahoma Friday afternoon and evening with a threat for damaging wind gusts and large hail.
Strong to severe storms are most likely from mid afternoon to mid-evening on Friday across the northern half of Oklahoma.
A cold front pushing into northern Oklahoma will increase rain/storm chances tomorrow afternoon and through the evening. Highest rain chances are across far northern Oklahoma.
There is a risk for severe thunderstorms across portions of western north Texas and the western half of Oklahoma late Saturday afternoon through Saturday night. The potential hazards are large hail and damaging wind gusts.
Two main rounds of severe storms are possible on Sunday: 1) early in the morning as a line of storms moves through the area and 2) afternoon and evening storms that could develop over western counties. The early storms will pose a risk of heavy rainfall, damaging winds, and brief tornadoes. The storms that develop later in the day could produce very large hail (>2"), damaging winds, and perhaps tornadoes.
This graphic shows the risk for severe thunderstorms Friday into the middle of next week.
