From News 9 meteorologist Lacey Swope:

Severe storms likely this afternoon across central OK including the OKC metro, so stay weather aware.

This morning cloudy skies with light rain and some patchy drizzle. Temperatures will warm from the 50s and 60s to the 70s later today.

As a cold front crashes in, storms will fire around 4 PM. These storms will form into a line and will push to the southeast.

Look for the threats for large hail up to the size of golf balls and winds to 65 mph.

Our team of trackers will be out and we will bring you updates.

There is concern right now for the evening commute and rush hour as storms are moving through the OKC metro. Stay alert.
