We are still seeing patterns coming into place which will allow for thunderstorms and possibly a few supercells in northern OK this evening and into tonight. There is a change a few of the stronger storms might make it into the metro tonight so standby.

We are monitoring development across a wide swath of our northern coverage area today. StormWarn Prediction: First few storms will fire up in the Woods, Woodward, & Harper counties and spread north and east. Some may dip as far south as Logan & Kingfisher with some metro impact.

Those with sensitive outdoor plants should pay attention to the forecast Thursday morning, as we are likely to see our first frost/freeze of the season in many areas, especially across western and northern Oklahoma. #okwx #texomawx
