The National Weather Service issued spotty severe weather warnings in western Oklahoma this afternoon.

High winds and large hail have been reported with the storms, and the possibility for severe weather continues tonight, particularly in southwest Oklahoma.

Southwest of Altus, near the Texas border, the National Weather Service reports hail larger than baseballs, and winds up to 65 mph.

Near Elk City, quarter-size hail and 60 mph winds have been reported.

The weather service expects possible flooding tonight with the isolated storms.

Severe weather chances go down for the rest of the week.
