    Forecasters predict severe weather and tornado risk in Oklahoma tonight

    Vaseline Posted on

    Storms moving across the state Sunday night and Monday could bring severe weather, flooding and low-level tornado risks, according to the National Weather Service in Norman.

    “October and November can sometimes be our secondary severe weather season in the Southern Plains,” said Vivek Mahale, meteorologist with the NWS. “It is not unusual for there to be a serious increase during the transition season.”

    The NWS predicts an increase in rainfall and thunderstorms as the system moves from west to east across the state overnight.

    Forecasters are warning of potential severe weather in southern Oklahoma beginning as early as 10 p.m., but most likely hitting the area between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. Monday.

    Mahale said the central part of the state may experience severe weather around midnight, but the system is likely to impact the area between 4am and 9am.

    Severe storms are possible on both sides of the Interstate 35 corridor, according to the NWS. Forecasters predict five to four inches of rain in the area. A flood watch is in effect until Monday afternoon.

    “We have potentially severe weather during peak hours,” Mahale said. “Not everyone will experience severe weather. Everyone will see rain, so flooding is another concern.”
