TULSA, Okla. — The weekend looks busy across the area with storms possible each day. Rich gulf moisture returns across Oklahoma throughout the day Saturday, setting the stage for a wave of energy to produce thunderstorms across the area through the evening hours. The primary threat will be severe hail, but there will be a non-zero tornado threat as well.
As the dryline sets up in western Oklahoma Sunday afternoon, a more "classic" severe weather setup is expected with the potential for supercell thunderstorms across Oklahoma. The main area of uncertainty right now deals with just how many thunderstorms are able to develop across Oklahoma, with the better ingredients for development across southern KS and far northern OK. Regardless, any storm that forms Sunday will have the potential to be dangerous, with all threats possible.
The severe threat returns for Monday and may set up closer to home Monday afternoon and evening compared to the weekend. We are still a few days out so we'll fine tune those timing details as we get closer, but storm development looks likely and all severe threats do look possible.
A final wave of storms across Green Country is possible Tuesday as the cold front exits, but this threat is trending east of Tulsa. If the front slows down, we may have one more day of severe weather possible across the metro, but as of now it appears the threat will be mainly Highway 75 and eastward.
Monday will be warm with highs well into the 80s, but we'll cool down mid week with below average temperatures likely Tuesday-Thursday.
Stay tuned for the latest severe weather updates as we get closer.
