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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

.Thunderstorms...
Scattered thunderstorms will continue through the morning hours
and into the early afternoon hours across portions of northwest
into western Oklahoma. A few of these storms will be severe with
large hail, to the size of golf balls, the main hazard. Heavy rain
will be possible with these storms.

Additional rounds of storms will be possible late this afternoon
through this evening, with a severe risk for large hail and
damaging wind. Most of the storms, along with the severe storm
risk, will be over western Oklahoma and western north Texas this
evening.

.Flooding...
Repeated rounds of thunderstorms, including heavy rain, are
possible this evening and overnight. This could result in
flooding, mainly across western north Texas and southwest
Oklahoma.

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

.Thunderstorms...
There will be a chance of thunderstorms each day through Sunday
with the most widespread thunderstorms expected to be overnight
each night as thunderstorm complexes move into Oklahoma and north
Texas from the High Plains. There will be the potential for strong
to possible severe storms each day, but the risk and areas that
could be affected will become better defined as those days
approach.

.Flooding...
Rain accumulations over several days could also result in a
potential for flooding later this week.
