Tornado Watch
-Watch county notification for watch 110 National Weather Service Norman OK 320 PM CDT Tue Apr 14 2026 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of South-Central and Southeast Kansas Western, Central, and Northern Oklahoma Western North Texas * Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 320 PM until 1100 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3.5 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible SUMMARY...Supercells that develop this afternoon and evening will likely pose a threat for large to very large hail initially. With time this evening, the threat for a few tornadoes should gradually increase with any thunderstorms that can remain at least semi-discrete. Scattered severe/damaging winds may also occur with any clusters that can eventually form and spread northeastward through the evening. Peak gusts may reach up to 65-75 mph. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles east and west of a line from 60 miles southwest of Wichita Falls TX to 55 miles west northwest of Chanute KS. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 108...WW 109...

Severe Storm Risk
-There is a Enhanced Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE MIDWEST/SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES AND SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST SUMMARY Severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon through tonight from the southern Plains into the Midwest. Large to giant hail, several tornadoes (some strong), and swaths of severe/damaging gusts are all likely, particularly from Iowa into the southern Great Lakes. 20Z Update A complex yet active severe weather day remains in the forecast for portions of the Midwest-OH Valley into the Southern Plains this afternoon into early tonight. While several lines were slightly adjusted to account for the latest guidance consensus, the following substantial changes and/or decisions were made: 1.) 30 percent wind probabilities were expanded southwestward into southwest and central OK to account for the possibility of more rapid upscale growth into one or more wind-producing MCSs or linear segments. 2.) Category 1/Marginal Risk probabilities for severe wind and hail were expanded west-southwest into NE along a frontal boundary to account for two possible scenarios. First, an isolated strong storm may develop within the next few hours along the boundary as a consequence of strong diurnal heating. Second, late tonight, there is low potential for gravity-wave associated convection on the immediate cool side of the frontal boundary, atop a stable boundary layer. 3.) Confidence is still too low for supercells across the Midwest to remain discrete for long periods of time, which would warrant a Categorical Moderate risk upgrade. Nonetheless, should a dominant supercell become sustained and discrete for at least a few hours, especially along the warm front over northeast IA into southern WI, a sustained and intense tornado will be possible. The rest of the forecast (see below) remains on track.
Pollen Alert
-Pollen Index: 9.9 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Cedar/Juniper, Maple and Ash. Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Wednesday will be falling in the moderate range. This lowering of pollen concentrations is a result of falling temperatures and heavy rains in the morning and evening which tend to wash pollen out of the air. That's good news for allergy sufferers.
