Storms to continue through mid-afternoon in Oklahoma

Thunderstorms across most of Oklahoma will continue through mid-afternoon.

Storms will move east. Still, the area of storms will gradually shift south from western and northern Oklahoma into central and southern Oklahoma, according to the National Weather Service. Some areas of northern and western Oklahoma have had several rounds of heavy rain, causing flooding. Additional flooding will be possible this morning as the storms continue east and build south.

Two roads in Yukon have been closed to traffic due to heavy rain, city spokeswoman Klare Ly said.

State Highway 4 between Ash Road and Wagner Road is closed and Wagner Road between Sky Trail and Mustang Road is closed.

Officials are also watching 11th Street in Yukon as there is some water on the roadway, Ly said Monday morning. The street may need to be closed if water continues to rise in the afternoon, Ly said.

Forecasters said rain chances will linger into Tuesday before the front moves out of the state.

Today will be partly to mostly cloudy with highs in the mid-70s to upper 80s.

Skies will be mostly cloudy in eastern Oklahoma tonight with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Conditions will be clear to partly cloudy in western Oklahoma with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms tonight.
