What’s the weather like on Monday in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma is in for strong to severe storms overnight and Monday morning.

Localized flooding, damaging winds and some tornadoes are the main threats, with tornado risk peaking early Monday morning.

David Payne’s timeline of the storms:

  1. Sunday evening (midnight – 3am): The main storm system will begin to impact the state. Thunderstorms will become more intense and the risk of severe weather increases with the potential for hail, high winds, widespread rain and even tornadoes. The timing of this is critical as the system will move overnight, meaning the strongest and strongest storms could hit in the early morning hours on Monday. According to Chief Meteorologist David Payne, tornado risk increases from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m.

  1. Monday morning (6 a.m. – 12 p.m.): David Payne says this is when severe weather and tornado threats are at their highest. The line of storms will move east, bringing the potential for severe weather including tornadoes, quarter-sized hail and winds around 75 mph.
  2. For the OKC metro, the threat is from 5 a.m. to about 10 a.m
  3. There is also concern about flooding, as some areas could see 2 to 3 inches of rain by the time the system shuts down. Be prepared for possible power outages and dangerous driving conditions.

  1. Monday afternoon: By Monday afternoon, the storm system will have moved east and will weaken again, leaving a cool and calm afternoon with temperatures in the 50s and 60s.

This setup will continue for a few more days, so stay tuned as the timing and zones become more refined. We could see even more rain next week.

COLD FRONT:

It’s going to be cold next week! We will see two blasts of cold winds and possibly some snow chances in parts of the state.

We will see the first big cold wave around November 20!

This will bring the coldest air of the season to Oklahoma, likely widespread in the 20s. Some data indicates some snow, but we’ll see.
