The severe storms have moved off into Arkansas, but rain and thunder will continue through Sunday morning for some. More rounds of rain and storms are expected on Monday.

Additional severe weather threats are expected to develop on Sunday afternoon and evening across southern sections of the state, with more severe weather anticipated on Monday across most of eastern Oklahoma.

Oklahoma Storm Timeline

The upper air flow features a deep trough over the western United States and a mid-level ridge of high pressure centered in the southeast creating a favorable southwest airflow over the southern and central plains.

This persistent southerly flow will bring significant moisture, setting the stage for showers and storms, including the possibility of heavy rainfall.

The main upper trough is expected to remain in the area until late Monday night or early Tuesday morning, with several disturbances rounding the base of the trough and affecting the state beginning this afternoon and continuing through the weekend.

Timing these disturbances may be difficult, but each wave will increase the likelihood of showers and storms.

The first wave is expected later this afternoon and tonight, continuing into early Sunday morning.

We may see a brief lull on Sunday before more storms develop in the afternoon and evening, potentially bringing heavy rainfall and severe weather.

Thunderstorms are likely early Monday, followed by a final round of storms in the afternoon.

As the main upper air trough ejects to our northeast late Monday night and early Tuesday morning, dry air will wrap around the system, leading to mostly pleasant and dry Election Day weather with morning lows in the 50s and daytime highs in the mid-60s.

A consensus of data suggests another storm system could approach the area late next week, but timing may change. Low-end probabilities for showers and storms will remain in the forecast from late next week into early next weekend.
