weather.. especially this Wednesday.. from NWS, Norman.
The active weather pattern will continue at least into Thursday as a series of storm systems bring the threat of severe weather to much of Oklahoma and western north Texas. We'll be dealing with two different types of severe weather events on Tuesday and Wednesday:
TUESDAY
There will be two opportunities for severe weather on Tuesday, both relatively low confidence and low impact events. The first would be early in the day associated with a complex of storms that could form late tonight and move southeast, possibly bringing marginal severe weather to western parts of our area. The second chance would be late afternoon/evening with storms that are expected to develop in the Texas panhandle. Some of these storms could impact western Oklahoma and parts of western north Texas Tuesday evening
WEDNESDAY
Wednesday is shaping up to be another potentially significant severe weather day across much of our area. Current forecasts call for supercell ingredients to come together Wednesday afternoon and evening, bringing the threat for tornadoes and damaging hail. The western half of Oklahoma and much of western north Texas would be most at risk for significant severe weather, but the threat areas will move and change as we get closer to the event.
While the precise location, timing and impacts are not yet clear, I would encourage you to prepare for a significant severe weather event during the afternoon and evening on Wednesday. This would include many of the areas impacted by last week's tornadoes and Sunday's hail storm.
