An outbreak of destructive thunderstorms is expected from the southern Plains into the western Ozarks on Sunday afternoon and night, originating from the same system that walloped California on Friday and Saturday.
Initial storms may also pose a tornado risk, since the first thunderstorm formation may take the form of lone, discrete rotating thunderstorms known as “supercells.” The greatest probability will be along the western Oklahoma-Texas border, particularly along Highway 62 west of Lawton, where a strong tornado can’t be ruled out.By nightfall, storms will have merged into a solid line with destructive winds, though a rogue tornado spin-up will remain possible along the leading edge of the line.
Surface low pressure will push out of western Kansas on Sunday afternoon, reaching Salina along Interstate 70 by midnight. As the low gradually strengthens, it will draw warm air north as it “inhales.” That’s why Oklahomans are awakening to readings in the 40s but can expect highs in the mid-60s during the evening.
