The National Weather Service said storms could be ongoing early today as the system, low-level moisture, a slow-moving cold front and intense jet stream winds converge in northwestern sections of the state.
Forecasters expect the storms as they march south and east to become better organized near the cold front and for some to reach severe levels, mainly near Interstate 44. Hail and damaging straight-line winds are expected to be the primary threats.
On Wednesday, skies were clear to partly cloudy, and temperatures ranged from 74 degrees in Guymon and Ponca City to 85 degrees in Gage. The mercury peaked at 76 degrees in Enid, Guthrie, Muskogee and Tulsa, forecasters said.
