The forecast calls for little in the way of severe weather next week, but we have to get through one last day before we can enjoy some drier weather. Unfortunately, Sunday's chance for severe weather will be quite significant as storms could produce extremely large hail, a few tornadoes, and damaging winds. It'll be the wind threat that we are most concerned about Sunday afternoon and evening.

TOPICS:Severe WeatherStormsFlash FloodingCold FrontEaster WeekendHailRainThunderstormsThe start to April has been very pleasant and quiet, but we knew at some point that was going to change. We believe that change does occur starting on Friday, when strong to severe storms will be possible over much of the area. The rest of the Easter weekend may not see so many severe storms, but we could be looking at a flooding threat due to multiple rounds of storms.

Oklahoma has been ravaged by wildfires since Friday, and unfortunately, they remain a possibility all the way through Wednesday. This is due to the combination of the warm temperatures, dry air and fuels, and windy conditions. Super Scoopers have been trying to extinguish the flames in southeast Logan County most of Monday. They have been stationed in Oklahoma since last week. Most of the fires are at least partially contained.
