We’ve seen a line of storms with multiple points of circulation. Due to low-level rotation, these storms could produce brief tornadoes.
The weather team is tracking potential wind gusts reaching 60-65 mph and quarter-sized hail, particularly in southeast and central counties.
Timeline and Severe Weather Risks
Here’s what to expect throughout the day:
Morning: Heavy rain and thunderstorms are already affecting the Oklahoma City area, with intense lightning reported. The initial round of storms is expected to peak around 6 a.m. in downtown Oklahoma City.
Midday: A second round of storms is expected to hit around 11 a.m. This is where we may see an increase in severe weather potential, including a heightened risk for tornadoes. The storms will move eastward through the afternoon, likely clearing out by 1-3 p.m.
While the drought has been the headline, flooding has been a concern in the areas with the highest totals.
Monday's highs are in the 70s with some wind.
