Thunderstorms expected next week, severe weather threat low

(TULSA, Okla.) A warm front has nudged up into far southeast OK, so it’s not out of the question to see a few surface based storms over the next several hours, although large hail will continue to be the primary threat. There are some low precipitation chances for late Monday afternoon across far northeast OK/northwest AR, with modest thunderstorm chances ahead of a weak cold front. Any isolated/scattered activity should quickly diminish by the early evening. The next upper system will swing through the region on Wednesday. Areas of showers and a few storms may spread east into the area by Tuesday night as a lead wave zips east, but the better chances will hold off until Wednesday afternoon/evening as the main system approaches. Severe storms will be possible, mainly for southeast OK. Thursday looks to be mostly quiet and mild, with another system bringing a chance of showers and storms for Friday going into the weekend. Available moisture may be in question, so the severe threat appears low at this time. Monday Mostly sunny, with a high near 75. Northeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming southwest in the afternoon.
