and expand in coverage by early evening. Severe weather is
expected into northeast Oklahoma by early evening and steadily
spreading eastward through the early morning hours Tuesday.
Conditions will support significant severe weather especially
during the evening into early morning hours. Tornadoes are

if storms do develop by early Wednesday morning. A more widespread
severe weather risk is expected from late Wednesday morning through
the afternoon as a cold front sweeps eastward. Locations south and

and mild weather for late week into the weekend.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
Spotter activation is expected this evening into the overnight
hours. Additionally, given the potential for damaging storms,
the need for mutual aid and additional staffing should be
considered.
