Storms Start to Move Out of Oklahoma Early Sunday: When to Expect the Next Round

News On 6 is tracking severe storms in Oklahoma. Watch this space for live updates as we learn more about where the storms are headed next.

When to Expect More Storms in Oklahoma

Scattered storms look to redevelop through the morning hours of our Sunday across parts of far northeastern Oklahoma. Severe weather threats should be lower with morning storms, but some could produce strong winds and mostly small hail.

By Sunday afternoon, a very humid airmass will be in place across eastern Oklahoma while a dry line sharpens across western Oklahoma throughout the day.

A warm layer of air aloft (the “cap”) may be present, helping limit storm development in some locations, but by late Sunday afternoon and evening at least a few storms are expected to form near or east of the dry line across western and central Oklahoma, becoming supercells capable of producing all modes of severe weather as they move into parts of eastern Oklahoma Sunday evening and Sunday night.

This process will repeat on Monday, with our likely highest probability for storms reaching eastern Oklahoma. Once again, all modes of severe weather will be possible on Monday.
