Severe Weather & Tornadoes Possible Today

WEATHER WARN DAY for today with severe weather in the forecast. There were a few light showers and storms in far northwestern Oklahoma earlier this morning, but all of that stayed under Severe Thunderstorm Warning criteria. There's an Enhanced risk now for severe weather north of Norman from 3PM today through 3AM Tuesday. Wind gusts of 70-80 mph, golf ball size hail, and a medium tornado risk are all possible including in the OKC metro. Please stay on alert for severe weather updates. The far western parts of the state are under the Marginal Severe risk. The rest of the viewing area are under the Slight to Enhanced Severe risk including in the OKC metro. Most of the region has a 5% chance for tornadoes to develop today. The atmosphere may produce tornadoes as high as EF2 criteria. In the afternoon/evening, storms will form along the dryline in western Oklahoma and move east going into the evening to overnight hours. This will be the main event since all the ingredients come into play in the evening hours. We have a potential for a few tornadoes from individual supercells and along the line of storms. We have a lot of wind in place and we have the shear needed for a wind/tornado threat, but since it's November there isn't much instability. Make sure your phones are charged, your family and friends know about the severe weather risk today, and you have your severe weather plan ready. Please stay on alert for severe weather updates.
