Oklahoma's Saturday Morning Severe Weather Update

UPDATE (5:54 a.m.) A tornado watch has been issued for southwestern and south-central portions of the News 9 viewing area until 10 a.m.

The watch does not include the Oklahoma City metro area.

Showers and storms will spread northeast out of Texas overnight and into Saturday morning. Some of these storms will become severe in the News 9 viewing area. One of the storms produced a tornado in Beaver County, as Val and Amy Castor tracked it:

Storms Saturday afternoon and evening will be contingent upon how much the atmosphere can recover after the morning wave of storms.

However, the current thought as of Friday night as that there will be two waves of storms: one Saturday morning, and one Saturday evening.

Be sure to tune in to News 9 In The Morning from 5 to 8 a.m. Saturday. Meteorologist Matt Mahler will have you covered.
