What is the weather like in Oklahoma on Monday?

Oklahoma expects strong to severe storms overnight and Monday morning.

Local flooding, damaging winds and a few tornadoes are the main threats, with the tornado risk peaking early Monday morning.

David Payne’s timeline of the storms:

1. Sunday night (midnight – 03:00): The main storm system will begin to affect the state. Thunderstorms will intensify and the risk of severe weather will increase with the possibility of hail, strong winds, widespread rain and even tornadoes. The timing of this is critical as the system will move through overnight, meaning the heaviest and most severe storms could hit during the early morning hours on Monday. According to Chief Meteorologist David Payne, the tornado risk increases from 03.00 to 06.00

1. Monday morning (06.00-12.00): David Payne says this is where the severe weather and tornado threat is at its highest. The line of storms will push eastward, with the potential for severe weather, including tornadoes, quarter-sized hail and winds around 70 mph.
2. For the OKC metro, the threat from 05.00 to around 10:00 a.m
3. There is also a concern for flooding as some areas could see 2-3 inches of rain as the system moves out. Be prepared for possible power outages and dangerous driving conditions.

1. Monday afternoon: By Monday afternoon, the storm system will have moved east and the weather will clear, leaving a cool and calm afternoon with temperatures in the 50s and 60s.

This setup is still several days away, so stay tuned as the timing and zones become more refined. We could see more rain next week.

COLD FRONT:

It will be cold next week! We will see two cold blasts and may see some snow chances in parts of the state.

We’ll see the first big cold snap around November 20th!

This will bring the coldest air of the season to Oklahoma, likely in the 20s. Some data suggests some snow, but we’ll see.
