This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of northern...
western...central...and southern Oklahoma...and western north
Texas.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight...

.Thunderstorms...
There is an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms across parts of
western and northern Oklahoma. There is also a slight risk of
severe thunderstorms across southwest and parts of central
Oklahoma and a small portion of western north Texas.

Storms are expected to form off a dryline in the Texas panhandle
during the mid to late afternoon, with the storms advancing into
western Oklahoma by early evening. Flooding, large hail, and
damaging winds are the primary concern. Isolated tornadoes are
also possible, primarily across far western Oklahoma. A few strong
to perhaps severe thunderstorms may develop across northwest
Oklahoma this afternoon as a surface boundary lifts slowly
northward.


.Heavy Rainfall and Flooding...
Additional rainfall may cause flooding due to saturated soils
across the region and any residual flooding ongoing from rainfall
earlier this week. Multiple waves of storms are expected, leading
to a higher chance of flooding and flash flooding. The highest
risk for additional heavy rainfall and flooding is across
west central and northwest Oklahoma this evening and overnight.

.SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT...

Storm spotter groups and emergency management personnel across
western and northern Oklahoma should prepare for severe weather
operations Tuesday afternoon into the overnight hours.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday...

.Thunderstorms...
There is a risk of severe thunderstorms across parts of northern
and western Oklahoma Friday as well as Saturday. The most likely
time for severe storms on Friday will be during the afternoon into
the evening.
