Lawton, OK

LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - We have seen showers and thunderstorms, some of which were strong, move through our area overnight, dropping heavy rainfall at times. Showers and storms are quickly pushing to our northeast, giving way to mostly cloudy skies this morning. The threat for an isolated shower or thunderstorm exists over the next several hours and into the early afternoon, as temperatures approach the low 80s for afternoon highs. Winds will be from the north turning east between 5 to 10mph.

Isolated showers and thunderstorms are on the table for your Saturday, turning more scattered for your day on Sunday | 6/3 AM

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!

A line of storms tonight, scattered activity continues into the weekend | 6/2PM
