Gust says depending on the conditions, sometimes similar storms can develop into tornadoes. A few tornadoes are possible, especially across portions of northern and west-central Oklahoma.
Severe thunderstorms will be a perpetual possibility through Memorial Day Weekend, as this classic spring thunderstorm set-up sticks around. But the storms return Wednesday and will stay awhile, with flooding a concern.

The dryline once again will form very close to Amarillo, keeping our chance for rain and storms very low, but the best chance for severe storms will be in our eastern counties. This still looks to be the case… and we will keep you posted on this pattern change as we progress through the summer season!
