Moderate Severe Weather Risk Tuesday

All of Central Oklahoma is in a Moderate Risk for severe weather on Tuesday afternoon. Besides tornadoes, hail to the size of baseballs or softballs is possible and winds of 70-80 mph are possible with the stronger storms.<br>
<br>
Exact timing and location of the development of storms remains undetermined. Most computer models have storms developing ahead of a dry line which is expected to be along the U.S. Highway 81 corridor (Enid to El Reno to Chickasha to Duncan) around 4 PM. Supercell storms are expected to develop and the atmosphere will be even more conducive to shear after 7 PM. <br>
<br>
I am recommending to the public that they monitor the weather forecast and conditions all afternoon for chances that storms will develop early. If storms do not develop in the early afternoon, I encourage people to get what they need to do accomplished by 4 PM. After that, stay close to home-monitor the latest weather conditions- and be prepared to implement your tornado safety precautions. <br>
