Oklahoma braces for more severe storms tonight after tornado-warned weekend: What to know
After weekend storms brought possible tornado damage to McAlester, Cimmaron and other communities in Oklahoma, the state could face another bout of severe storms tonight that could result in large hail, damaging winds, and potentially tornadoes.
According to the National Weather Service, the risk of storms should start Sunday afternoon around 1 p.m. and continue into Monday morning, with much of the state expecting some level of severe weather through the day.
The potential for tornadoes is low, but softball-size hail could develop, and winds could top 80 mph.
Severe weather is expected to develop in the northwestern portions of the state between 3-7 p.m., reach Oklahoma City between 5-9 p.m., and cross southeast between 8-11 p.m. Sunday.
On Monday and Tuesday, much of the state should get a break from severe weather, with sunny and warm conditions. Chances of thunderstorms return Wednesday and into next weekend.

NWS:How to prepare for a tornado
Take action now. A warning means someone saw a tornado or one was indicated by weather radar. Under a tornado warning, there's imminent danger to life and property. Everyone should move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building and avoid windows.
