Expect storms near I-35 and the OKC metro at around 1 to 2 a.m. Several tornadoes are possible overnight, but they will likely be brief. 6:05 p.m. Monday Update: A representative of a local shelter company urged residents to clean out their storm shelters, beginning with vacuuming and sweeping them out. He also recommended being ready for any moisture that might show up inside. Oklahomans can buy buckets with powder to absorb moisture from the air at local home goods stores. He also said to stock up on water, snacks, blankets and pillows in the shelter. Other materials to keep on hand are battery-operated radios or televisions. If someone has a door or lock that’s getting stuck, he said residents can fix that themselves with dry lubricants like WD-40.5 p.m. Monday Update: KOCO 5 Chief Meteorologist Damon Lane says Monday’s severe weather threat is the highest risk parts of the state have seen since last spring. Storms will start developing near Woodward and Buffalo around 9:30 p.m. Those storms could move into the Clinton, Cordell, Hobart, Medford and Watonga areas by 11 p.m. Those storms will begin moving toward Interstate 35 from around midnight to 2 a.m. The highest tornado threat stretches from Guthrie, Weatherford, Seminole to Ardmore. 4 p.m. Monday Update: KOCO 5 Chief Meteorologist Damon Lane says the tornado index for parts of central and southern Oklahoma, including the OKC metro, is a 6 on a 1-10 scale. The majority of Oklahoma will see a threat for tornadoes from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., including those in northern, western and eastern Oklahoma. Damon says the threat for hail isn’t as concerning as the wind risk. Up to 70 mph winds are possible along with quarter-sized hail. KOCO 5’s Kilee Thomas says residents in central Oklahoma impacted by the Nov. 3 tornadoes are still picking up the pieces exactly four months later. Tonight’s storm threat is reminiscent of the November storm. 2:20 p.m. Monday Update: KOCO 5 Meteorologist Sabrina Bates says the next severe threat is late Monday night and continues through Tuesday morning. There will be a line of storms that could produce spin-up tornadoes. The line of storms will move very quickly, and there could be really strong wind gusts on the leading edge of that line. Because of when the storms are expected to hit, Sabrina reminds everyone to have a loud enough alert that would wake you up in case a tornado warning is issued. The storms could produce 60-80 mph winds and quarter to ping pong ball-sized hail. 1 p.m. Monday Update: KOCO 5 has partnered with KGOU so people who can’t watch live coverage on television or the KOCO 5 app can listen to Chief Meteorologist Damon Lane and the First Alert Weather Team on the radio.
