Severe storms and tornado threats impact Oklahoma and Texas

Severe weather patterns are impacting Oklahoma and Texas, bringing threats of tornadoes, heavy rain, and high winds. In Oklahoma, a Flood Watch has been issued for 31 counties, including Comanche County, as multiple waves of storms are expected to move through the state from Tuesday through Thursday. Some areas in western Oklahoma could see up to six inches of rain, while central Oklahoma and western North Texas may receive up to five inches.

In Texas, a Tornado Warning was issued for north central Pecos County near Fort Stockton due to radar-indicated rotation. Severe thunderstorm warnings are also active across the Permian Basin, South Plains, and Rolling Plains, with wind gusts reaching up to 70 mph and threats of hail.

Oklahoma faces a multi-day risk of severe storms, including a level-two slight risk for several regions such as the Oklahoma City metro, Lawton, and Stillwater. The tornado threat remains present for much of central, southwestern, and northeastern Oklahoma.
