Strong to severe thunderstorms will likely develop along the front by late afternoon or early evening. Large hail and damaging winds will be likely in the stronger storms, including a limited tornado threat, especially with any discrete storms that initially develop. In addition, very heavy rainfall is again expected as these storms spread southeast overnight with a continued flooding threat. As the cold front moves into southeast Oklahoma Sunday afternoon a few strong to severe thunderstorms will again be possible before storms shift slowly south Sunday evening into the overnight hours. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT... Severe weather is likely across portions of northeast Oklahoma late Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening, including the potential for heavy rainfall and localized flooding. Specific severe weather threats will continue to be refined over the next 24 to 36 hours. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information.
