I knew when I moved to OK that severe weather would be a frequent occurence. Well, Mother nature is sticking to her pattern of strong storms in May...

The KXII weather center is going to be very busy this afternoon and tonight. Our live RADAR will be scanning the skies and painted with colors of greens, yellows, and even reds today.

The Storm Prediction Center has issued a moderate risk for severe storms for all of Texoma.

A warm front is going to move through the area this afternoon and will be the focus of thunderstorm development. With moderate instability, large hail will be possible in any of the storms that do develop. And strong shear right around the warm front means that there is a chance that some of the storms could produce tornadoes as well.

As we lose the daytime heating tonight, the main threat from these storms will be heavy rainfall. These storms are expected to continue overnight tonight and into Wednesday morning.

Keep in mind...because the ground is already very saturated, flooding is likely overnight. A flash flood watch has been issued by the National Weather Service through Wednesday morning.

Be careful and stay tuned to KXII for all severe weather developments.

Thanks for the warning my house was about to be blown away. I have been loyal to you since i work in sherman and live in VA, but tonight I had to go to the metromess tv to get my warning. Thanks alot for keeping us informed(sarcasim) If it was in OK you wouldn't miss it!! I have noticed this before. You dont care about anything south of sherman. Grayson county runs south past VA, get A MAP.

I tried my regular route to get to Lone Grove/Farmers Market this morning only to find the road closed about a half mile before I got to Newport Rd. Had to take the long way around over to El Dorado rd then north to Crest west to Keeler and on to highway 70. There was a lot of water on the rd about three quarters of a mile north of the highway but I got through driving very slowly. The water had receded on Prairie Valley rd by the time I started home although anyone going that way should travel with caution.
