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

.DAY ONE...Through and Tonight...

.Thunderstorms...
There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across northern and
western Oklahoma mainly from 8 PM to midnight. The risk area
covers locations north and west of Medford and Enid, Kingfisher,
Clinton, Weatherford, and Elk City.

A marginal risk extends eastward and southward, covering all but
southeast Oklahoma for the overnight hours.

Damaging wind gusts between 60 to 70 mph will be the primary
hazard, with hail up to the size of golf balls a secondary
threat and mainly in the Slight Risk area. While heavy rain will
be brief, it could result in flooding of low lying and poor
drainage areas given the saturated nature of the ground from
recent rains.

.SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT...

Storm spotter groups and emergency management personnel across
northwest Oklahoma should prepare for severe weather operations
this evening, with any risk for central and southern Oklahoma and
western north Texas being overnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday...

.Thunderstorms...
Thunderstorm chances return Thursday and continue off and on
through early next week, with strong to severe storms possible.
