Strong wind gusts of that magnitude can cause damage to trees, power lines, and structures, while large hail can create hazardous driving conditions and damage vehicles or property.

The National Weather Service continues monitoring the developing system and will issue additional watches or warnings if storm conditions intensify.

With the Oklahoma severe thunderstorms risk expected statewide, officials encourage residents to closely follow updates from the National Weather Service and local emergency management agencies.

Weather experts recommend having multiple ways to receive severe weather alerts, especially during the afternoon and evening when storms are expected to develop.
