Severe risk returns

1 week ago | koco.com | Damon Lane

THESE. I GOT TO RECORD THREE, TWO, ONE. THANKS FOR LOGGING ON TO KOCO.COM, AS WELL AS YOUR KOCO FIVE MOBILE APP. WATCHING THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER CLOSELY TONIGHT. IT’S A MARGINAL RISK FOR FAR NORTHERN NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA. IF A STORM CAN GO SEVERE, IT WOULD HAVE THE THREAT FOR WINDS AROUND 60 TO 70MPH. BUT A LOT OF THE DATA SHOWS THAT A BULK OF THE STORM ACTIVITY WILL HANG ACROSS KANSAS. A LOT OF RAIN THERE AND MOST OF OKLAHOMA, JUST ABOUT ALL OF OKLAHOMA HERE. STAYING DRY FOR TOMORROW.

IN THREE, TWO, ONE. HERE’S YOUR NEWEST TIMELINE FOR SEVERE WEATHER AS WE GO INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON. IT’S A MARGINAL TO A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS. OUR TORNADO THREAT IS NOT THAT HIGH, BUT IT IS ONE THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH RIGHT NOW. ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10. WE HAVE A TORNADO INDEX AT A TWO. THAT’S A LOW CHANCE, BUT IT DOES INCLUDE THE METRO TO PONCA CITY UP TO THE NORTHEAST, AND ALL THE WAY OUT ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA. THIS IS GOING TO BE MORE OF A WIND AND A HAIL THREAT HERE.
Storm chances increasing

WE’RE BACK INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S IS ABOUT TEN DEGREES WARMER FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON, AND A CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER. RIGHT NOW THE RISK IS MARGINAL AND IT’S A VERY LOW END CHANCE AS WELL. FOR A ISOLATED STORM TO GO UP ANYWHERE FROM NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA, UP INTO CENTRAL KANSAS, ALL THE WAY UP INTO NEBRASKA. THE WINDOW IS NOT VERY LONG HERE.

THIS IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS RIGHT NOW. THE TORNADO THREAT, IT’S NOT PARTICULARLY HIGH WITH THIS. ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10, WE HAVE IT AT A TWO.
