A severe storm in western Oklahoma spawned a possible, brief tornado in Roger Mills County on Sunday, and later Sunday night, a large tornado was confirmed near the town of Custer City.
The first tornado was just after 6 p.m. near Roll. As the storm advanced northwest, it brought with it large chunks of hail and damaging winds. The Custer City storm was after 7:30 p.m.
Much of northwest Oklahoma is under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 10 p.m., a watch that has been extended east as far as Canadian County until midnight. Storms could impact the Oklahoma City metro during the 9 p.m. hour.
News 9 Meteorologist Lacey Swope is live in the Bob Mills Weather Center tracking the severe weather.

Active Watches & Warnings:
Hotter this weekend with summer-like highs. Remember, cars can get dangerously hot in a matter of minutes! Summer is inching closer!
Heading into the weekend, the weather will be hot and humid, and there is another chance for severe weather when an approaching weather system arrives next Tuesday.
South winds return pulling north that Gulf of Mexico moisture.
On Sunday, we'll watch a dryline closely to the west along with a low pressure to the north.
Conditions will be unstable but the CAP & lack of forcing could limit the threat.
We'll be watching it closely.
Next week is looking warm with some more chance of severe storms.
