    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.

    We are not done with the severe weather chances, unfortunately. We still have a round early Friday morning, another round later in the day, and even potentially early Saturday morning. After that, cooler temperatures will return, bringing with it a chance of a rain/snow mix to Oklahoma!The chance of severe storms will be possible early Friday morning. For us, our main threats will be the hail and wind potential in the morning.

    In just a few hours, we'll be watching the chance for isolated supercell thunderstorms that could produce winds of 60 to 80 mph, up to baseball size hail, and even tornadoes. Have multiple ways of receiving alerts and know your severe weather plan!A Tornado Watch has just been issued for most of the area until Midnight tonight. It may not have felt like a severe weather day, but strong winds out of the south have been bringing in warm, moist air from the south.

    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.

    An extremely powerful low pressure system will be passing just north of us Friday. While this system will bring severe weather to the Midwest Friday and the Southeast Saturday, we'll miss out on the rain and storms and get the wind. Due to ongoing drought, warm temperatures, and dry vegetation, adding strong winds to the equation will make for near historic fire conditions across Oklahoma Friday.
