Check back throughout the day for the latest.8 a.m. Monday Update: KOCO 5 Meteorologist Jonathan Conder says it’s a dangerous day ahead with the tornado risk increasing after sunset.Jonathan also said the severe weather risk increased to a level-five high for areas between Alva, Clinton, the OKC metro, Seminole, Stillwater and Ponca City. That means there’s a higher probability of severe storms and more numerous tornadoes. There also could be strong and/or longer-tracking tornadoes.The tornado index for the level-five high risk areas is now a 10 out of 10, which is the highest ingredients for tornadoes.The storms could also produce softball sized hail for much of central Oklahoma, including the OKC metro to west-central Oklahoma ranging from Altus to Alva.7 a.m. Monday Update: KOCO 5 Meteorologist Jonathan Conder says there is a level-four moderate risk on Monday for a good portion of the state ranging from Altus through the OKC metro to Stillwater and up to Bartlesville. A moderate risk means that an outbreak of severe storms is expected and could include very large hail and tornadoes.The tornado index for the moderate-risk area is an 8 out of 10. The risk decreases but is still high in the surrounding areas.Jonathan says the risk could produce very strong and potent supercells that are so tall that they could pump out large, destructive hail. The hail could be the size of softballs from Lawton to Hobart, Clinton, Alva, Ponca City, Stillwater, Seminole and the OKC metro. Storms will develop in western Oklahoma and the Panhandle before 5 p.m., move across western Oklahoma from 5-8 p.m. and reach the OKC metro and central Oklahoma after 8 p.m. They will then move out to the east after 11 p.m. 6:30 a.m. Monday Update: KOCO 5 First Alert Chief Meteorologist Damon Lane says today’s severe weather outlook brings a high-end environment. The Storm Prediction Center considered an upgrade to a tornado-driven high risk. There remains some lingering uncertainty with regard to the number of intense tornadoes that could occur. An increase in tornado probabilities will certainly be warranted should confidence in coverage and preferred corridors increase.Be sure to download the KOCO 5 App to receive customized weather alerts.
