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...
Scattered thunderstorms will occur today, with most of the activity
across western, central, and northeast parts of Oklahoma. No
severe storms are expected, but heavy rain associated with storms
will increase the threat of flooding.

.Heavy Rain...
Given recent rainfall from southwest into central Oklahoma, it
will not take much additional rain to result in flooding problems.
Although brief in nature, heavy rain associated with thunderstorms
could lead to flash flooding.

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

.Thunderstorms...
Thunderstorm chances continue through the rest of the week,
gradually shifting southward by Friday into the weekend.

.Heavy Rain...
Because of saturated ground across much of the area, a risk for
flooding will continue through much of the week.
