TULSA, OKLA. — ACTIVE WATCHES AND WARNINGS:

Tornado Watch for Haskell, Latimer, Le Flore and Pittsburg counties until 10:00 p.m.
Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Latimer, Le Flore, and Pittsburg counties until 6:15 p.m.

Another strong storm system will impact the region this afternoon and evening with widespread heavy rain and scattered storms.
A few storms will likely be severe, especially across southeast Oklahoma this afternoon and evening with lesser chances further north along the I-40 corridor. Large hail and damaging winds will be likely, with a few tornadoes possible, mainly across far southeast Oklahoma near the Red River.

Heavy rain is also expected with a Flood Watch in place from today until Friday late morning for far eastern Oklahoma. Widespread 2-4 inches with a few locally higher amounts in the order of 5-6 inches.

Highs today will range with lower 70s to the south and lower 60s and possibly some 50s further north, including Tulsa.

The severe threat will clear the area later tonight with cold air quickly moving in. Rain may mix with snow overnight into early Friday morning near the OK/KS line. At this time, temperatures look to stay just warm enough to prevent any accumulation, but we'll keep an eye on it.

Highs tomorrow below average in the 50s with clearing.

Temperatures in the 60s Saturday and then 70s Sunday with breezy south winds. A mix of clouds and sunshine. A nice weekend on the way for us.

70s again on Monday and then rain returns by the middle of next week.
