A couple of stronger to possibly severe storms could develop and move into portions of southeast Oklahoma this evening. Damaging winds and large hail will be the main threat with any severe storm this evening. The bigger impact will come from locally heavy rainfall with rainfall rates of one to two inches per hour likely in the heavier downpours. Some flooding is already ongoing across eastern Oklahoma and more area of flash flooding or creek flooding will be possible through the evening. A break in activity should move into the region overnight tonight before more storms approach the area early tomorrow morning. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...

Widespread showers and embedded thunderstorms will likely be ongoing at daybreak Sunday, with an increasing threat for heavy rain and flooding focused across northeast Oklahoma. A Flood Watch is in effect through early Sunday evening. Conditions support a low chance for severe weather across parts of the area during the day Sunday, including a very low but nonzero chance for tornadoes. The overall potential for thunderstorms is expected to shift to the north and east into Sunday night and Monday. Hot and humid conditions will develop early next week and continue into the early part of the weekend for some areas. Widespread triple digit heat index values should be expected, with heat headlines likely to be necessary during the period. A front looks to move into parts of the area late in the week, bringing additional thunderstorm chances and possibly bringing less humid conditions to northern areas. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information. $$
