Storms are expected to develop late this afternoon along and ahead of a cold front and dryline. Large to very large hail and damaging wind gusts will be the main hazards, with a low tornado risk early this evening. #okwx #texomawx

There will be greater risk of severe weather Thursday evening through Friday morning with at least a couple rounds of thunderstorms possible. Large hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rainfall are potential hazards. #okwx #texomawx

Forecast is still on track for strong to severe storms across a large portion of the area Wednesday afternoon into the overnight hours. Large hail, damaging winds, and flooding are the main concerns. #okwx #txwx

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

1130 AM UPDATE: Key messages today: 1) most people will not see a storm, but IF you do, it will be likely be dangerous; and 2) the potential for tornadoes will INCREASE after dark, so do not let your guard down!

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

Up to a moderate risk for severe storms on Monday afternoon through the evening hours with large hail, damaging wind gusts, and a medium risk for tornado's as the hazards. Should be a fast moving system coming through.

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

Severe weather potential is once again expected later this afternoon through early Thursday morning. All severe weather hazards (hail/wind/low tornado risk) are expected. Remain aware and check back!

#okwx #texomawx

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

We expect multiple rounds of severe storms later today, with all severe hazards possible, including the potential for strong tornadoes. Be prepared, have a place to shelter, and have multiple ways to receive warnings if storms should threaten your area. #okwx #texomawx

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

A reminder: We're not expecting severe weather before sunset tonight, but the potential *will* increase overnight. If you have a weather radio, it'll be a good night to check those batteries. #okwx #txwx

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

The latest severe storm outlook focuses on the potential for a line of severe storms across western-north TX into central OK early Fri morning.

Low probability for severe weather will also exist across northwestern OK towards sunset this evening.

Stay aware!

Hey, we know how easy it is for severe risks on consecutive days to start to blend together. We put this table of severe risks between now and Saturday together to hopefully help you keep track of the when, the where, and the what. #okwx #txwx

Fire drill tip: Practice feeling your way out of your home in the dark or with your eyes closed 🙇‍♂️

Also important: Teach children not to hide from firefighters 👨‍🚒

OKC! There is a chance of severe weather overnight in the metro. The most likely timing for the metro will be between 4am and 7am (4/16/24), which could impact rush hour commuter traffic. All hazards are possible.

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

Our next risk of severe weather is Monday (April 15th). Large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes are possible.

With the risk of storms, it's good to be prepared. There'll always be another risk of severe weather even if you don't use these tips on Monday! #okwx #texomawx

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

We sure hope nobody needs to know this today, but just in case...
