There is a slight risk for severe storms tonight starting around 8 p.m. and lasting through the overnight hours across Oklahoma. Large hail is the primary threat. The atmosphere will have a strong CAP in place, limiting storm development and tornadoes. This keeps the tornado threat low but not zero. AI models favor C OK for potential tornadic development.
Download my free weather app, ATsWeatherToGo, which will predict tornadic development ahead of time giving you as much as 20 minutes to seek shelter.

Remember that Summer is the "flash flooding and damaging wind season" across the country. While most areas stay dry, the few that do get rain can get too much. Stagnant or slow steering currents and weak wind shear contribute to the outcome.
Case in point, models are hinting at areas receiving over 7" of rain Saturday. So you might find yourself in a flood situation. Watch my lunchtime video replay for additional information, and be safe this weekend! -AT
There is a tornado watch to the north and a severe thunderstorm watch to the southwest. I'll go live this evening to give you an update.
