Another powerful storm will charge into the state giving us our best rain chances the state has seen in some time. Every county, all 77 of them, should see rain over the next 3 days. Severe weather and heavy rainfall are also possible.

The severe threat starts this afternoon and evening in southwest Oklahoma and will northeast up into the state tonight. There is a risk of tornadoes. The highest threat will be in the southern and southeastern parts this evening.

There will be a slight threat of severe weather Wednesday. By the time we get to Thursday, much of the state will have seen 1 to 4 inches of rainfall! This is not a drought buster but it will put a good dent in it!
