There is a slight risk of severe weather over most of NE Oklahoma today with large hail and damaging winds being the primary threat. Large, organized severe thunderstorms are not expected some storms could briefly become severe this afternoon and evening.

Some areas of NE Oklahoma could see 1/2 to 3/4 inch of rain through late tonight.

Here is the NWS risk graphic for today:

There is a slight risk of severe weather this evening mainly along and north of I-44.
Large hail and damagings are a threat but there is a possibility of a very strong wind event occuring in this area. So please stay tuned to local media this evening.

This is a severe thunderstorm watch for the southern Kansas counties and just west of the Tulsa forecast area. If it appears more certain a severe wind event may occur then a watch will likely be issued for the area potentially impacted by this.
