Below is some information to remember and a full weather timeline for this weekend in Green Country.
Oklahoma Severe Weather Key Takeaways:
On Friday, a strong southwest upper-level flow from the Desert Southwest continued to intensify.
Several severe storms fired off, with one storm turning into a tornado after it moved into Arkansas.
The Storm Area in Oklahoma On Friday
Some of the storms near and south of the front will be strong to severe with damaging winds and hail. Most locations will have a threat of heavy rain on Saturday.
The boundary is expected to move south of the I-40 corridor early Saturday morning before stalling, placing much of eastern Oklahoma in the zone for pockets of locally heavy rainfall through midday Saturday.
Locations north of the front, mostly along and north of I-40, will see highs in the upper 60s, while areas south of I-40 will experience temperatures in the mid-70s on Saturday.
As the upper-level wave merges and progresses across the middle of the country, the front could briefly lift north as a surface low-pressure system develops along its boundary early Sunday morning.
This may keep some rain and thunder near the region early Sunday before moving east, out of the area quickly Sunday morning. This portion of the forecast may still undergo additional changes.
Easter Sunday morning temperatures will generally be in the mid-50s with highs reaching the upper 60s.
