LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - A line of storms is currently knocking on the doorstep of our western counties. This line will continue to make it eastward trek over the next 6-8 hours. While it does appear that all hazards are possible (large hail, damaging winds, flooding and an isolated tornado) the biggest threat will be heavy rainfall over already saturated grounds leading to flash flooding concerns. The specific hazards will be 60 to 70mph wind gusts, quarter to golf ball sized hail and a very low tornado threat where a brief spin up is possible (mainly for western counties though). As mentioned, the heavy rainfall/ flash flooding concerns will continue. Many locations have seen over 2 inches of rainfall over the past 10 days. So with more rainfall on the way tonight (trending to see a widespread 1-3 inches from east to west) that will increase the flooding potential. Because of this threat, a flood watch is in place for much of Texoma until 7AM Saturday morning!

LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - We saw some isolated pop-up showers and storms early on Saturday, that gave way to partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 80s by afternoon. The threat for showers and thunderstorms returns more scattered for the day today, under mostly cloudy skies and afternoon highs again in the low 80s. The potential for severe weather is low, but scattered thunderstorms with a few heavy downpours cannot be ruled out. Winds will blow from the northeast between 5 to 10mph.
