Sunday, April 27, 2026: TORNADO WATCH until 12AM Monday for the counties in yellow.

Storm chances will be picking up as we head into the evening. Tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds, are all possible. Stay weather aware.

⚠️ Saturday Severe Weather Update (April 25)

We’re looking at another day with severe storm potential across Oklahoma, with the most significant weather expected late this afternoon through tonight.

🌩️ What I’m Watching

Some of those storms could become severe, with hazards including:

• Very large to giant hail (2” to 4”+ possible)
• Damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph
• Tornadoes, including the potential for a few stronger tornadoes

📍 Highest Concern Area

Right now, the better chance for the most intense storms appears to be across east-central into southeast Oklahoma, where the atmosphere should be most supportive for stronger supercells.

🌧️ Additional Concern

If storms repeatedly move over the same areas, heavy rain and localized flooding could also develop.

✔️ Before Storms Develop

Now is the time for a quick readiness check:

✔️ Have multiple ways to receive warnings
✔️ Know where your safe place is at home/work
✔️ Charge phones and backup batteries
✔️ Review your severe weather plan
✔️ If you live in an RV/mobile home or are camping, identify a sturdy shelter now
✔️ Know your county and nearby counties

Stay weather aware and safe!

FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 2026: Parts of Oklahoma have the chance to see some very strong to severe storms today. All types of severe weather are possible, including damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes.

Winds could be upwards of 70 mph, hail could be up to baseball sized, and the threat for tornadoes is higher than it was earlier this week.

Another threat we should watch for is the chance to see some intense rain that could lead to flooding in some localized areas.

𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗦 𝗛𝗜𝗧:

✔️Charge all phones and power sources.
✔️Know your county and those around you.
