Expect 80 degrees Wednesday afternoon, but rain chances increase and storms are expected in the afternoon.

A cold front and a dry line will first produce strong to severe storms in the northwest.

Storms develop west of I-35 during the afternoon and march eastward in the evening. The OKC metro will experience severe storms from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Much-needed rain returns with storms bringing damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes.

Any storm that develops ahead of the dryline and cold front has the greatest chance of producing a tornado.
