A Tornado Warning went into effect for Hughes and Okfuskee County around 7:40 p.m. It will remain until 8:15 p.m.

Storms continue to move through southwest Oklahoma and will continue to lift to the north and east through the afternoon and evening. Storms are already producing tennis ball size hail in far southern Oklahoma, and damaging winds to 100 mph. Storms will be capable of a few tornadoes as well. 

As heavy rain persists, flash flooding will be an issue and could have severe impacts.

The tornado watch does not include the Oklahoma City metro at this time, but that could change, so stay alert this evening.
