Forecasters Say Severe Thunderstorms Likely During the Week

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Weather forecasters say severe thunderstorms are likely in parts of Oklahoma by the middle of the week.

The National Weather Service in Norman says severe storms and a threat of tornados are possible across portions of the central U.S. on Wednesday and Thursday.

Forecasters say there is a chance of stormy weather every day during the upcoming week except Friday, when a cold front is expected to bring dry but breezy conditions.

There is a slight chance of an isolated severe storm on Tuesday. Scattered storms are expected on Wednesday and Thursday.

Forecasters say Wednesday will most likely offer the most favorable conditions for development of severe thunderstorms in northern and central Oklahoma. By Thursday, most of the severe weather impact will be over eastern Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas.
