National Weather Service Warns of Severe Thunderstorms in Oklahoma with Potential for Large Hail
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Norman, Oklahoma, has issued warnings for severe thunderstorms expected to develop across north-central and central Oklahoma. The storms, driven by a cold front, are anticipated to bring large hail, potentially reaching the size of golf balls, damaging wind gusts, and localized heavy rainfall. The NWS has emphasized the need for residents to remain alert as conditions can change rapidly, especially during evening and overnight hours when visibility is reduced. This warning follows a confirmed tornado that struck Enid, Oklahoma, causing significant damage and prompting search and rescue operations.
