Weekend Starts Off Wet

Rain showers and isolated thunder will increase in coverage later
this morning and early afternoon as the storm system nears the
region. Heaviest rainfall will occur this afternoon and evening as
the system moves through. Many locations will see at least a half
inch to 1 inch of rainfall...with widespread 1 to 2 inches possible.
Greater instability across southeast Oklahoma will allow for
increased coverage of thunderstorms this afternoon with a few
stronger storms possible, however, overall severe threat remains low.


The upper-level storm system will move east of the region late
Sunday with scattered rain showers gradually ending from west to
east Sunday afternoon and evening. Another system dropping out of
the north will bring a round of showers and thunderstorms to
portions of the Plains by midweek. A third system will arrive late
in the week bringing another chance for precipitation.
