There is an enhanced risk for severe thunderstorms across much of
western, northern, and central Oklahoma surrounded by a slight
risk in western north Texas and south central Oklahoma for late

Strong to severe storms will be possible late this afternoon and
evening when storms will form in southern Kansas, possibly into
northern Oklahoma, and near a dryline in the Texas panhandle and
west Texas, spreading into Oklahoma and north Texas this evening.
Initially the storms could be discrete but will likely merge into
one or more complexes as they make their way east and southeast
across the area this evening and overnight.

Initially the impacts will be very large hail up to the size of
baseballs and strong wind gusts. As the storms merge, the primary
threat will shift to damaging winds with hail likely decreasing
