Storms Headed For Oklahoma

Posted: Updated:
By Michael Armstrong, News 9 Weather - bio | email

A strong upper-level storm will bring an opportunity for much needed rain across Oklahoma this evening and tonight. A few strong to severe thunderstorms will also be possible with this line before 9pm in western portions of the state with damaging winds the main threat.  Despite the strength of the upper-level jet stream, moisture is lacking with this particular storm system so widespread severe weather is unlikely.

As far as rainfall totals are concerned, it appears that most areas will receive between ¼ and ½ and inch. Isolated locations across northern parts of the state could receive a little bit more with up to 1 inch possible.

Certainly this is not a drought buster by any stretch of the imagination. However, this time of year is normally the driest on average so we need to enjoy every drop.

    Tornadoes play a more significant role in the Great Plains of the United States than anywhere else on the planet, and Oklahoma is the epicenter. Let's have a look at some of the reasons why and when the peak of the tornado season arrives.

  • Spring is without question my favorite season of the year, but fall isn't too far behind.  Thankfully I'm not an allergy sufferer, or I suspect my choice would be different.
    Spring is without question my favorite season of the year, but fall isn't too far behind.  I suspect one of the big reasons I can say that is because I don't suffer from allergies the way many of you do. In my blog today I will take a closer look at what's causing problems and when it'll be over!
