We're tracking a very strong storm system and cold front that will divide the state. A few strong to severe storms have already begun in western Oklahoma Friday morning with some hail & gusty winds.

As the cold front moves through Friday we will see temps drop in some areas from the 70s to the 40s. Most of the Tulsa metro area will see rain and storms in the afternoon with a rapid increase in intensity by 1-2 PM as they

encounter deeper moisture. Severe storms with hail and wind will be likely and there is a real risk of the potential for tornado warnings.
